About Your Trip

Captain Bentley, specializes in world-class bonefishing around Spanish Wells, home of some of the best flats in the world! If you're looking to catch bonefish on the fly, there is no better place than the Bahamas. Happy and "uneducated" bonefish swim around everywhere and infest the local flats and chanels. Included in your trip are snacks, water, ice, and all the necessary fishing gear. If you'd like to bring your own gear, Captain Brentley encourages you to do so!

When you head out with Captain Bentley, you'll be stalking the endless gin-clear flats aboard his 18-foot Action Craft flats boat. The boat can carry up to three anglers per trip but 2 will fish much more comfortably and is preferable since added wait can make it harder for your captain to pole the boat around.

Positioned on the front of the bow, fly rod in one hand, shrimp imitation fly in the other, Captain Bentley will pole you around looking for mud clouds and light grey torpedos. Cruising fish (torpedos) can be tough to catch, especially since there often on high alert. But if you can make a cast past--and infront of--the fish, you can strip it back by them to intersect their path and entice a bite! Muds can be easy to spot and are a sign of happy fish milling around looking for a meal. You don't even need to see the fish sometimes: after your Captain poles you within striking distance of the cloud of mud, you can make a delicate cast just beyond it, and twitch your fly through for an epic bite! Give it a big strip to set the hook (Don't raise the rod tip), and get ready for one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean (pound for pound).

Captain Bentley is based out of Spanish Wells, and will happily come pick you up if you're staying in Spanish Wells or Eleuthera. If you're staying on Harbour Island, he asks that you please ferry back over to the dock in Eleuthra and he will meet you there!

So come spend a day bonefishing with Captain Bently down in the Bahamas for an epic fly fishing experience. His knowledge of the local waters means you will have success in your catch!
