Off to Bimini (by airplane)

[Legacy]

Anyone know a good inshore and a good offshore guide in Bimini? Heading down in 2 weeks. Thx.

Sorry I am going to miss you. Heading over by boat, not an Albin, first weather chance this weekend or early next week from Ft La Di Da.

For flats fishing Bonefish Tommy Sewell is good. I think Al Sweeting at the Seacrest marina does offshore trips. Wahoo are probably running. Enjoy!

Check with Brent? and Joanie at the Thirsty Turtle. He has a dive and fish concession as well as is the owner /manager of the TT Yacht Club. Great people. Also try over at the Bimini Sands/Marina/Condo etc. There are a couple of young folks (younger than me!) who run a sight seeing/kayaking venture and they know everybody. All of this is on S Bimini. Where do you plan on staying? There are some great people on the North island but it is very congested and well if you haven't been to Bimini before it is the outback of the Bahamas. However I love it and have been down three times in the past three years for extended stays. On the North island there is a big concession/resort called Bimini Bay. It is expensive and well that is not what I go for. Nice looking place however. Didn't mean to get long winded but if you need anymore info let me know and I will dig out some info on the place.
Enjoy your trip!

Thanks gents. This is my first trip to Bimini but have been to the Bahamas quite a bit. (Abaco, Exumas, etc) so I thinnk I know what to expect. It was my wife's idea to go there - - she thought it sounded exotic. I bit my tongue, and started thinking about which rods to pack! We're staying at the Bimini Bay Beach Resort, they had a pretty good offer. Getting out to Bimini proved to be much more expensive than planned. Appreciate the tips. Hopefully posting photos of lots of fish! Kayak trip booked as well. Can't wait, having a monsoon here in Boston. Time to head south. Cheers.
