Spent three days fishing the west side flats of Andros with a local guide and it was the most incredible bonefishing of my life. We sight-casted to tailing bonefish in ankle-deep water all day long. I landed over 20 bones in three days, with the biggest going about 9 pounds on an 8-weight fly rod. The Joulter Cays flats were absolutely loaded with fish. Andros is the real deal — it deserves its reputation as the bonefishing capital of the world.
