The Exuma Bonefish Guides Association (EBGA) has launched an Internet site,
www.ExumaBonefish.com
for easy booking of Exuma, Bahamas-based fishing charters and
accommodations.
Bonefish anglers now have an attractive and easy-to-book alternative to
pricey fishing lodges. By using the EBGA's U.S.-based booking service, anglers
may select accommodations on Exuma that match their taste and budget. Services
range from viewing potential accommodations on the association's Web site,
www.ExumaBonefish.com, to complete custom package service arranged at The Cays,
a new development near George Town, Exuma. The Cays is comprised of new
three-bedroom homes and specializes in catering to anglers.
"The most skilled bonefish guides in Exuma have joined together to set the
highest standards of professionalism for Exuma Bonefish Guides Association,"
said Alan "J.J." Dames, president of EBGA and a two-time Bahamas Bonefish
Champion. "Exuma's Bonefish Guides are very conservation minded, with a strict
catch and release policy," Dames added, "but our main goal is to ensure that
clients have a memorable fishing experience around our beautiful islands, while
preserving fish stocks and the pristine bonefish flats."
EBGA guide rates are $295 per day for up to two anglers, with anglers
supplying all their own equipment. A handy packing checklist is provided along
with other tips for travel on www.ExumaBonefish.com. "Whether you prefer to
fish with fly or spinning tackle, are a novice or an accomplished bonefish
angler, your guide will work diligently to provide you with the best experience
possible," said Angie Chestnut, director of the EBGA's U.S.-based booking
service. "The personal attention and service is so special, clients are often
ready to book their next excursion halfway through their first trip."
Guides meet with clients the night before their fishing trip to get to know
each other and make plans for the upcoming day. In the morning, guides pick up
clients at their hotel or villa and return them to their accommodations at the
end of the day. Delicious box lunches are available for order through the
guides. Airport transfers may be arranged as well through the EBGA's booking
service.
Unlike most Bahamian Out-Islands, direct flights are available to George
Town, Exuma from Miami via American Airlines. The non-stop flights take away
many of the hassles of travel.
