Winter in the Bahamas is more than just a tropical getaway—it’s prime time for hunting larger-than-average bonefish. Known as "big fish season," this time of year brings cooler water temperatures, pushing the biggest bones onto the flats. These trophy-sized fish are more active and easier to spot in the clear, shallow waters, making it the perfect time to test your skills.
With the perfect mix of tidal movements and less fishing pressure, winter offers incredible opportunities for wading and stalking these elusive giants. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to saltwater fly fishing, the Bahamas in the winter gives you the chance to hook that monster bonefish you've always dreamed of.
Don't miss out on the thrill of the hunt this winter—big fish are waiting at Soul Fly Lodge in the Berry Islands!Â
