The
Lodge is just 50 ft. from the water and the dock where your guide
will meet you each day. There are six comfortable, air conditioned,
ocean view rooms. The rooms are nicely appointed and each has two
twin beds for a wonderful, relaxing nights sleep, a full bath with
tub, large dressers, spacious closets and convenient lighted night
stands. All guest rooms have 27” color televisions with Direct TV®
access. Daily maid service is provided.
Meals
are hearty and well prepared. Breakfasts normally consist of eggs,
pancakes, style french toast, bacon or sausage with potatoes, and tea
or coffee, or perhaps waking up to Eggs Benedict gets your attention,
just ask! Lunch is normally served while fishing and includes
sandwiches with either ham, tuna fish, or turkey served on home baked
bread. (Normally cut rather large!). Dinner features local Bahamian
and original dishes. You can expect conch salad, conch fritters
along with a variety of freshly caught fish each day. The lodge also
serves chicken, chops, steak, and lobster depending on the season.
Desserts are what legends are made of …. enjoy!
Barraterre Bonefish
Lodge offers its guests “Unlimited Fishing. More accurately
stated this is "unlimited guided fishing", not just the ability to
go out wading on your own.
You can literally fish
as many hours as you'd like with a professional guide. The fishing
begins at whatever time you’d like to start, and finishes until whatever
time you’d like to finish during daylight hours.
Barraterre Bonefish
Lodge will plan your meals around your fishing schedule. The only
requirement is that you clear your fishing schedule with the lodge
manager the day before.
Flats fishing at
Barraterre is a mere 10 to 30 minutes away from the lodge on board
one of our new 16’custom built skiffs powered by 40 HP Nissan
engines. We cut short transit times and increase your time on the
water.
All skiffs have nice
size casting platforms and excellent rod storage. Guides pole from a
platform in order to spot tailing fish.
The 25 square mile
fishing area of Barraterre Bonefish Lodge consists of approximately
80% wading on hard bottom flats, mangrove, and creek areas with names
such as Glass Cay, Square Rock Cay, Black Cay, and Pudding Point.
You
can expect to see bonefish in the 3 to 4 pound range with several
chances to cast to the 6 and 7 pound fish. Permit, Tarpon, Jacks, and
muttons and a variety of other species are waiting for you at Barraterre also. Boat fishing for permit is in an area just
northwest of Barraterre.
The
Brigantine Cays offer the challenge of hooking up with good sized
permit … If you dare! Perhaps a chance at a “Grand Slam”! (Catching
a permit, tarpon and bonefish in one day).
Barraterre has
excellent wading flats and the majority of the fishing is done on
foot. There are also numerous protected mangrove flats where
poling the skiff is preferred by the guides. Tarpon are sometimes
seen cruising across the deeper flats and they’re big. Huge
barracudas haunt these flats and seem to have no other purpose in
life but to attack your fly.
Another exciting
feature of Barraterre Bonefish Lodge is fly fishing from the skiff
for 100 lb plus spinner sharks. These predators are very aggressive
on the fly and make for a great alternative.
The experienced guide
staff of Ceaphas Maycock, Phillip Maycock, and Dave Thomas will put
you on fish and are eager to assist you. Your guide will wash your
tackle in fresh water at the end of each fishing day, store them
safely overnight, and deliver them to the boat the next morning.
Suggested
Fly-fishing tackle:
Fly rods in the 7 to 9
weight class, from 9' to 10' in length, will cover most fishing
situations. Reels should have a smooth drag system, as well as a
capacity for at least 150 yards of backing plus the fly line.
Floating fly lines with a 9' tapered leader and 8 or 10 pound
tippets are suggested. On very calm days, or when stalking larger
singles, it might be necessary to use longer leaders.
Suggested Spin-fishing tackle:
Spinning rods should be
6½ to 7 feet in length, and of medium action. Reels designed with a
smooth drag system should be capable of handling no less than 150
yards of 8 to 10 pound test mono. Although most 1/5 oz. lures, like
the #200 millies jig work well, it's a good idea to have an
assortment of jigs in brown, white, and pink.
