	Bahamas bonefishing lodges, Acklins Island, Crooked Island, South Andros, Long Island
		Acklins is a quiet island, with few people, and vast spaces of superb bonefish habitat. The flats are some of the best wading anywhere, and the fish are above-average in size.
		We're fishing the west side of Acklins here, so there are moderate tides, wind protection, and many areas that are completely untouched. Bonefish from 4 to 6 pounds abound here, and there are quite enough permit, jacks, barracuda, and other species to keep things interesting.
		Don't go to Acklins expecting extensive tourist services. The population here is roughly 300 souls. If you're looking for nightlife, better go to Nassau or Freeport. If, however, you're on a quest for a place to fish all week without seeing another boat, this is your bell ringing.
