Abaco Lodge on the Marls has been a premier flats-fishing destination for years due to its next-level populations of supersize bonefish. Here you'll find plenty of the latter, punctuated by more than 200 miles of prime skinny-water habitat known universally as the Marls. Step off your front porch, pour a mug of coffee, and open your eyes to an azure panoramic where tailing bones, not to mention permit and tarpon, are top on the agenda. Twenty- to thirty-fish days are a regular occurrence at Abaco Lodge, and many of our adult bonefish crack and exceed the magical 6+ pound mark. See it. Believe it. And then plan your way through the process with guides who know the program. Abaco Lodge is staffed with best in the northern Bahamas. Period. Bahamas bonefishing is an integral part of the culture, and these guys speak the language fluently. Top-of-the-line, shallow-draft Hell's Bay flats skiffs ensure maximum comfort while full-throttling it to fishing; while private rooms, 5-star dining, and professional service mean ultimate adrenaline on-and relaxation off-the water.

Do you fly fish? If so, you must make a trip to the Abaco lodge. The people, place and particularly the fishing can't be better. The bonefish take off like torpedoes when the hook is set. The fish are so finicky that you must sneak up on them. Practice double hauls to 40 feet before you travel. You won't be sorry.

Weather was challenging but the superb ambience never faltered. Winds up to 20 knots but guides found leeward waters where bonefish hid. Clean, confortable rooms, and a very talented chef compliment the experienced results-oriented guides. Not fussy, some would say sparse, but everything you need. We left looking forward to the next trip.

My buddy and I had a great four day trip to this hidden gem. Great for both novice and expert bonefishermen. I myself am a novice but learned from the great guides on our daily eight hour fishing trips. The resort has only eight rooms so dinner is family style with the other guests whom you will get to know by the end of your trip. No beach and tiny pool so not for those looking for the full resort experience. Very spacious and comfortable rooms! Gorgeous setting and evenings typically end with guests enjoying conversation by the fire pit. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in a trip centered around bonefishing! Highly recommend!

Visited for 3 days and 4 nights. The accommodations were excellent (Neat and Clean) and the food was top notch!! We were fortunate the wind and sun cooperated every day and had 30+ days. I fished the Marls over the past 15 years and this experience would be at the top of the list. Highly recommend this for all that like to bonefish the bahamas.

Spectacular attention to detail, whether it was perfectly present mahi and green beans at dinner, or with the fishing guides explaining the how, where and why of catching bonefish. Not just a fishing lodge, but a peaceful place to kick back and enjoy the Abaco scenery.

A great personal feel to this lodge. Valeska and Matt do a wonderful job...we are now their buddies. The food and accommodations are top notch...as are the fishing and guides. Highest recommendation! Whether an expert or novice, the AL will give you what you want out of a fishing trip.

Just visited for 5 nights, 4 days of fishing. Our second visit. Despite some wind and cloud we had a very successful time with knowledgeable and friendly guides and especially warm and competent managers Valeska and Matt. The relaxed atmosphere and specials like evenings by the fire pit made the whole experience unforgettable. PJ

Another tremendous week of fishing at Abaco Lodge. 20+ years fishing in the Bahamas, multiple islands/locations and AL is a special place. This was our second visit and the fishing, guides, staff, food and accommodations are second to none. The Marls is an amazing fishery. Quick, calm morning runs with knowledgable guides to a multitude of locations. Great food and wonderful company. We re-booked onsite and can't wait for next year.

This was our first trip to Abaco Lodge, but hopefully won't be the last. What an amazing place this is! When you are greeted with a tray of fabulous rum drinks on arrival, you know you are in for a treat. The fishing and the guides were great, the company entertaining, the food was amazing, and it was all so nicely put together by Matt and Valeska, the managers. Our accommodations were top notch also. In short, the trip was worth every penny and we can't wait to go back! We just know there are bonefish waiting for us!

We had an amazing time visiting the Abaco Lodge this weekend! The lodge managers, Matt and Va Les Ka, were very accommodating and are truly some of the nicest people we have ever met. We were greeted with warm welcomes and cold drinks! The fishing was great and the guides were very knowledgable/ friendly. Despite a bit of wind, our guide, Trevor, was able to take us to calmer water and needless to say, we did not come away disappointed! I've spent over 10-years fishing in the Bahamas and highly recommend this lodge for anyone who shares a love for the sport. Thank you to everyone who made this such a great trip!
