Hello from Ragged Island Bonefish Club in the Bahamas. This second season of fishing for our guests has been an even greater success
than the previous one at Ragged Island.
Everyone who has visited the club say they cannot believe there are so many bonefish to be caught. No matter what the weather, the time of day, or the tide you can find 100's of bone fish, sharks, permit, lady fish, and many varieties of eating fish ready to be caught on fly.
One thing we kindly request, is please let us carry your bags to and from your room. To the boat and back again. I hope that is not too much to ask. A golf cart will always be waiting to deliver you to the dock and back, after a hard days catching.
What's really remarkable is the concentration of bonefish on the flats at Ragged Island. It's an excellent wade-fishing situation. With the exception of the lagoon flats around Ragged Island itself, fishing can be done by stalking on foot across shallow, while-sand flats.
Permit are abundant, cruising across the deeper white-sand flats. You will also fish schools of 4-6 pound bonefish, or stalk a single 10-12 pound dark back bodied bonefish. Or fish 10-20 pound mutton snappers, and jacks as they cruise on top of the rays' backs. Around Margaret Cay, there are schools of ladyfish, which provide about the same excitement as two to four pound tarpon.
Arrangements can be made with the club for some offshore fishing - battling the brutes of the blue (school tuna, dolphin, Wahoo). This is a great place to submit yourself to a challenging fitness course comprised of stealthy sight-casting to unwary bones, technical casting to reef heads and pockets, and stretch-your-tendons while at war with blue-water rockets.
If you're one of those who won't be satisfied with life until you've waded to the Ragged Edge, this is for you.
