Man, March is always a great time for fishing the pristine flats of East Grand Bahama Island. We had a few cold fronts but they did not last long so the water temperature is still in the mid 70’s. So the fish that you will be targeting (like bonefish, permit. barracuda and many more) are out on the flats enjoying the warmer water. Normally at this time of year, the water would be cold so the fish would move in deeper water. This March, even the creeks have lots of fish life. Both natural and artificial baits work great whether you are using spinning gear or fly fishing. Springtime can bring the wind so you may need to find some protection from it near the mangroves. I hope that our fishing friends “Up North” don’t think that the weather is too bad to get some great fishing in East Grand Bahama. Whatever kind of fishing you would like to do; flats, reef or casting a top water plug across the channel, I know you would have a great time and we would welcome you to Fire Fly Bone Fishing Lodge
