fishing  Andros Island, Bahamas
The largest and wildest Bahamian island is the birthplace of one of the world’s first bonefishing lodges—the Bang Bang Club, popular in the 1940s and now under renovation—and the ubiquitous Crazy Charlie fly. Landing an eight- or ten-pounder is not uncommon on the flats off the North, Middle, and South Bights, deep bays that slice the island’s southern half. Local guides Charlie Neymour and Andy Smith can show you how it’s done for $350 to ­$400 per day; book them through Westbank Anglers (800-922-3474; www.westbank.com). Westbank also offers six-day packages at Tranquility Hill Fishing Lodge, a basic hotel overlooking the North Bight, for $2,400 per person, double occupancy, from October through July.
