ACKLINS CROOKED ISLAND DEEP SEA FISHING The waters around Crooked Island/Acklins are some of the richest fishing grounds in the world. In the words of the famous guide, Carter Andrews,...... "....in just a short period of time this has become one of the finest fishing destinations in the Bahamas. Hearing the stories and participating in the catches that the rich waters around Crooked Island offer, keep me wondering what will happen next. Bonefish, permit, and tarpon catches continue to increase as the flats guides strive to achieve new levels. While Robbie and I were convinced that Sportfish "Thunderbird" had more in her than just tuna, dolphin and wahoo we set our sights on Blue Marlin. Our catches far exceeded our expectations. We released twenty Blue Marlin in 23 charters. Fought and lost another half dozen, two of which were 600lbs or better. Leaving in July to participate in a few tournaments in the States cut my Marlin time in half. I do believe if I was able to finish out July and August we would have doubled our catch. There is always this year! We are anxious for the return of old guests and look forward to the company of our new guests. Come pay us a visit. I am sure you will not be disappointed. Crooked Island Fishing Thunderbird Charters invites you to experience the trill of offshore fishing around Crooked Island. The fishing with Robbie Gibson and Carter Andrews is incredible. We are fishing water that no other sport fishing boats are touching. There are daily catches exceeding thirty fish and near world record wahoo are being caught regularly. We do it all! Trolling, chumming, live bait, and fly fishing are all very productive. We are currently putting together a blue water fly fishing program that we are sure will round out your fishing experience nicely. For more info, go HERE......
