Bonefish

The key to a bone fishery having both quality and plentiful populations is a combination of wadeable flats, proximity to deeper water, and abundant forage. Sandy Point has so many properly positioned flats of this kind, that it offers the fly fisher many options - for example, if the day becomes windy. Our guides are local fisherman, skilled at finding fish and placing you in perfect position for that cast to a trophy. If you'd rather fish for numbers to hone your "hooking and playing" skills, there are very large flats that host large schools of smaller fish. For novices, fishing the "muds" is a sure way to see lots of action. Download the checklist of items to bring for our recommendations for Bonefish outfit and flies.

Permit

Although most our guests come for the Bonefish, we always recommend they bring gear and flies for Permit as well. Most likely you've had the experience of hooking into a Permit on bone fishing gear, just to wish you had an 8 or 10 weight rod and large arbor reel! Seriously, often we see Permit tailing on flats we cruise to in the morning, so being ready might mean you take a large Permit!

Offshore and Reef Species

Although our packages are based on flats fishing, you also have the option to fish deeper water for reef species like mutton snapper, groupers, yellow tail, jacks, and other easy-to-catch species. You'll find Barracuda on these reefs as well as in the waters adjacent to the flats. Go further out and fish for king mackerel, wahoo, or dorado.
