Abaco fishing is bouncing back strong
Booked an offshore charter out of Marsh Harbour to support the Abacos recovery and the fishing was outstanding. We trolled the deep water north of the islands and caught five mahi mahi and two wahoo on a half-day trip. The captain also took us to a reef spot where we loaded up on yellowtail snapper. The Abacos are rebuilding and the fishing community is resilient. Come support these guides — the fishing is excellent.
