If fishing is your game, you won't be disappointed when you try your luck off Old Bahama Bay™'s coast. Once fished by Earnest Hemingway, the historic West End, which began as a coastal village, continues to provide fishing enthusiasts with some of the finest sport fishing anywhere in the world.

The shallows of the Little Bahama Bank, to the north and east of West End, provide over 80 square miles of flats that will test any angler's fly-fishing skills.

The Little Bahama Bank is excellent for snook, permit and bonefish - one of the most challenging game fish. Reef fishing abounds just minutes from the Old Bahama Bay™ marina with numerous varieties of snapper, grouper and a multitude of other reef dwelling species.

When it comes to deep-sea fishing, Old Bahama Bay™ offers some of the world's finest marlin, tuna, dolphin and wahoo fishing with its close proximity to the warm and nutrient waters of the Gulf Stream. Rates and arrangements for boats, guides and equipment are available from the Old Bahama Bay™ Activities Department.
