Bonefishing~ cat island offers many ideal spots for bonefishing DIY with our kayaks, or local guides are available to point you in the right direction by boat, or on foot. Anglers can quietly stalk these elusive fish by wading through knee-deep waters of Bennett's Creek. These quicksilver fighters, weighing up to 15 pounds, inspire both fly fishermen and spin casters alike with their power and speed. Unpredictable and wily, the bonefish are often found in schools of 50 or more, making for exciting bursts of action. With Bennett's Creek leading to Alligator point just up the beach, you'll have miles of wadable flats right outside the patio door. Orange Creek offer expansive flats lined with mangroves. There is a tide clock at the house to help you plan your day of angling.
