Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge  – People have called me several things but most people call me Bill. I tend to the details. I’m an American owner/operator and have managed the lodge since it opened in 2002.

If your looking to go fly fishing for bonefish in the Bahamas, you just found one of the best, Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge. But first, I’d like to be clear about what the lodge isn’t…this ain’t a resort, it is a fishing lodge. We reserve all slots for fishing guests. I don’t entertain complaints about the pillows being too hard, not enough closet space, or dogs fornicating on the beach. Yeah…it happened. I politely said, “You didn’t have to watch”. On arrival, the odds are good one of my dogs will stick his nose in your crotch. He’s glad to see you.

There is absolutely nothing pretentious about the lodge. We don’t have a cement pond, we use paper napkins, and we won’t crack your pepper for you. We don’t put a mint on your pillow or a fresh flower on your nightstand. You can grab your own beer and mix your own drink the way you like it. Drinks are on the house, it’s included in the rate. Think of it as the difference between a stuffy dinner party or a casual gathering with good friends.

This is a place for anglers who care more about the next cast than room service. There is some drinking and smoking cigars going on. We fish hard, cuss a bit, tell bad jokes, laugh like idiots, and we avoid politics like a bad cast. If you want pampered, book a resort. If you want real bonefishing in the Bahamas, welcome to Mars Bay.
