Chesters Bonefish Lodge

I am in the hospitality / charter business in The Bahamas. I often travel to the family islands for bone fishing and other leisure travel. it is fair to say that I have a pretty keen eye and perspective on what is truly great about different parts and places throughout The Bahamas. The Acklins Creekside Lodge on Acklins Island and the owner Ms. Arnett embodies what is truly the best of what the family islands offer. From being greeted at the airport, to the amazing local fare breakfast and the lodge itself, you will enjoy everything you expect from a remote island in the middle of the ocean and much more. Ms. Arnett is one of most incredible souls I have encountered on my travels through the Bahamas. She is warm and engaging and will be certain you have everything you need to make the most off your trip to the island. The lodge itself sits on a spectacular creek teeming with schools of Bonefish. Step out the door of your very comfortable room and cast away! Or Ms. Arnett will connect you with the best guides the island has to offer for wading remotely or casting from your hired skiff. If you are considering a trip to Acklins, BOOK NOW!! you will not be disappointed. Michael D Abaco Bahamas

Thank you, Arnette for making my week on Acklins so enjoyable. The room was comfortable and spacious and food was fine. I appreciate it is difficult to get a big selection of fresh produce at this remote destination. My main reason for the trip was fly fishing for bonefish and there can't be many other fishing lodges where bonefish are swimming past just 20 yards from ones bedroom on every tide. I was able to achieve my ambition of catching bonefish on a DIY arrangement as it was important to me to find,cast and hook fish with relying totally on a guide. Although it was easy to wade straight out from the Lodge, I also enjoyed the day that I took a kayak to reach other good places for bonefish. Finally please thank Jacob for the day I treated myself to going in your boat to some more remote flats. Great sport. Thanks again.
