: Mike - If you get this before you leave, go bonefishing with Nathaniel
Gilbert
: in the southern part of the island. He's at Devils Point 973-621-2247. My
: wife and I did great with him last April. Lot's of wading. We stayed at
: Fernandez Bay Village which was awesome. Definitely go there for lunch,
dinner,
: or a drink. There's a fantastic creek system just south of there that has
lots
: of bones and cudas on a low tide and some cool blue hole snorkeling. We had
a
: couple wonderful days kayaking back in there. Also, the Hermitage is a
: fantastic vista, make the trip, it's worth it. And check out the Bluebird
: (little shack near New Bight) for dinner/lunch, great food.
: We're looking at Long Island for this April. Possibly the Cape Santa Maria
: Resort on the north end. Any suggestions?
: Have a great time on cat.

: : : : : Greetings from Miane< we have been to Eleuthera several times and
love
: : it!
: : : we
: : : : : are looking to go to either Cat or Long Island? We love to snorkel
and
: : : : bonefish
: : : : : -drink rum and eat conch. We usually rent a house for the week. Any
: ideas
: : : : would
: : : : : be greatly appreciated. thanx!!
: : : :
: : : : If you are interested in snorkeling and bonefishing you might want to
try
: : : : Andros. There is a villa right on the Ocean in Fresh Creek called
: Coakley
: : : : House www.coakleyhouse.com. Central Andros has excellent bonefishing
and
: : the
: : : : 3rd largest barrier reef in the world. Consequently, the have great
: scuba
: : : : diving and snorkeling. Also, there is plenty of rum and conch, but
that
: : goes
: : : : without saying on all of the family islands ...
: : :
: : : We've been to Cat Island twice, and will be heading back again in
January.
: : : We've also been to Eleuthera. There's a big difference between the two.
: : : I love to bonefish also. I found the bone fishing to be much better on
Cat.
: : The
: : : fish see very little pressure, and as a result, are much easier to take.
: : : However, Cat does not have the vast, endless flats found on other
Bahamian
: : : island. But rather small flats and mangroves located within the many
creek
: : and
: : : estuary system on the island.
: : : Unlike Eleuthera, Cat is very remote. Nothing to do other than bonefish,
: hang
: : : out on deserted beaches, swim, etc. Also, it merits mentioning that the
: : rental
: : : options on Cat are limited.
: : : However, just like most of the Bahamas, the local people are wonderful.
: Very
: : : helpful, and easy to get along with. There is virtually no crime on Cat
: : either.

: : : bobG
: : Bob, My wife & I will be there in January for two weeks to bonefish & enjoy
: the
: : water. We also have been to Eleuthera 3 times, as well as many other Bahama
: : Islands. We like to try new places so decided to try Cat Island. What
: : suggestions do you have on which parts of the island are best for bonefish?
: We
: : are renting a house that comes with a vehicle. We like fishing on our own
but
: : may consider a guide for a few days? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
: : Mike & Carole Sampson
