Got the winter blues? Here's a cure...

Hey peeps, still don't have your 2016 winter trip planned? Todd and I are returning to Great Exuma March 5-11. You're welcome to join us and escape the winter blues by enjoying some incredible flyfishing action while catching rays!

Our guide is available the 6th, and has guide friends that have some dates open too. They are getting booked fast so please contact me if you are interested in joining us.

We are staying at Club Peace & Plenty which has affordable rooms available. It's a sweet, old fly lodge in the heart of town. The lodge has a small pool, bar, and dining room the serves up delicious Bahamain cuisine along with some American favorites. It's within walking distance to grocery stores, liquor stores, island restaurants, and the straw market! Exuma is sleepy with very friendly people, so expect a quiet, laid back experience with incredible blue waters and world-class flats fishing.

Hi guys,

I just got back from the Exumas - one of my favorite places. The flats were even more beautiful than the last time we visited. They are such an enchanting sight that touches your soul. Mangrove lined bays open up to the shallow flats and then azure blue ocean that looks as if it will color your hand blue when you dunk it in.

We caught some bones, including a few double digits. Summer is a great time to go flyfishing, especially for permit (still on my quest to catch one). One of these days I'll spend my fishing time targeting them specifically. It's hard to forego bonefishing though, since it's what Exuma is known for.

Todd and I stayed at Peace & Plenty in Georgetown - and old flyfishing lodge from years gone by, now just a nice sleepy place to stay. It's my kind of place, clean, quiet, right on the beautiful water with a view of Stocking Island, great food and a pool with a small outdoor bar tended by Lerman "Doc" Rolle who has worked there for years. Doc makes a mean "Bahama Mama".

While there we noticed these "bat-like" things flying around. I suspected they were some sort of moth. I asked my fishing guide and friend, Drex, what they were and he said they call them "money bats". They are large and flutter around your face. They tell the kids they are "money bats" and if they land on you money will come your way (keeps the kids from being afraid of them). They strange thing is I saw them out in the day as well as the night.
The Bahamas are amazing, full of rich history and the nicest people I have ever met on the planet so far. Todd and I are hoping to plan a return trip next year where I can take friends along, so I'll keep you posted to what transpires.
