Nearby Attractions:
While vacationing at the Sawyer House vacation rental, visitors to Abaco will find a diverse palette of fishing opportunities. From dropping a relaxing handline off your dock to battling giant blue marlin offshore, just about everyone can find a way to enjoy the local fishing experience. This article was written by people just like you who enjoy visiting the area and want to share their fishing tactics. I use the term "fisherman" in a gender-neutral sense; many ladies enjoy fishing, my wife Bunny regularly outfishes me. We encourage men, women, kids, whoever, to get out there and go fishing!
There are three great references that will be of value to everyone who comes to Abaco to fish. Former Florida Sportsman Magazine editor Vic Dunaway's classic bookBaits, Rigs, and Tackle is a great primer for everything that has to do with fishing hardware, from knots to lines to leaders to, well, you name it. Another great Florida Sportsman book is Sport Fish of Florida. This 256-page full color book describes many of the fish we find in Abaco; it will help you identify as well as fish for most of the local critters. And make sure you have a copy of Steve Dodge's Cruising Guide to Abaco Bahamas 200X , it's your best source for charts, maps, tides, and boat rental info.
If you have a little boating skill you can really enhance your fishing experience by renting a boat while you're in Abaco.
Bait can be tricky to find, you often have to make due with what you can scrounge. Conch makes great bait, it's tasty and durable. You can use a small hook or tiny jigs to catch small fish that you can then filet for bait. Many of us start off fishing with jigs and never get around to using bait. Ballyhoo are difficult to find; you can ask around the docks at Boat Harbour, they can sometimes point you in the right direction. Many people have great luck trolling lures, including feathers and spoons.
Bring whatever tackle you can manage to carry; it's usually more expensive in Abaco, and there's less variety. We have had good luck finding tackle at B&D Marine in Marsh Harbour and the Ship's Store at Lighthouse Marina in Hopetown. It's very difficult to find rental tackle.
Amenities:
Sawyer House is fully equipped with fresh linen, towels and blankets. The kitchen is fully equipped with all utensils and appliances and between rentals the house is professionally cleaned and maintained.
The house has a VHF radio and every morning there is a broadcast of the weather forecast for the day. This is a very interesting informal session where local restaurants also let everyone know what specials they have for the day. For example, some of the restaurants have pig roasts on a weekly basis. Many people have their sail boat there or are chartering so this is a good way of communicating.
The Clifford Sawyer House telephone number is 242 366 0352.
The house has a cable TV connection with a wide variety of channels.
The house is equipped laptop computer with a cable internet connection for guests renting the house. You will be able connect to the web to keep in touch.
What should I pack?
Pack light. The reason that you're coming to The Bahamas is to get away from the big city turmoil and that includes dress requirements, so your wardrobe should reflect the informality that you will experience. There is no requirement for jacket/tie for the men or dressy clothes and stockings for the women. Bring lightweight clothing; shorts, T-shirts, short sleeved shirts, and maybe a pair of cotton slacks. Mostly what you'll wear is a swim suit although you should cover up if you are going into any of the villages or shops. From November to April it is a good idea to toss in a sweater for the occasional cool evening. A rain jacket is also handy in case of a spot of liquid sunshine. You will find that you will need sunscreen and perhaps a sun hat.
Phones
A few cell phones work without any special effort but most do not.
Power
Electrical voltage is the same as in the US. In years past, brownouts and blackouts were common, but are now of short duration and infrequent. Still, there may be outages and the best way to deal with them is to maintain a good attitude. A sure way to get the power back on is to begin consuming the beverages in the fridge that are getting hot.
Water
Drinkable water on the island comes from rain collection via gutters/cisterns or reverse osmosis water makers. It is perfectly safe. While there is no restriction on water usage, conservation is always a good idea and greatly appreciated.
