I’ve been called several things but most people call me Bill. I tend to the details. I’m an American owner/operator and have managed the lodge since it opened in 2002. Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge is an all-inclusive fly fishing destination. If you’re searching for a place to go bonefishing in the Bahamas, you just found one of the best. But first, I’d like to be clear about what Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge isn’t…….this ain’t a resort, it is a fishing lodge. All slots are reserved for fishing guests. I don’t entertain complaints about the pillows being too hard, not enough closet space, or dogs fornicating on the beach. Yeah….it happened. I politely said, “You didn’t have to watch”. On arrival, the odds are good one of my dogs will stick his nose in your crotch. He’s glad to see you.

There is absolutely nothing pretentious about the lodge. We use paper napkins, we won’t crack your pepper for you. You’ll not find a mint on your pillow or a fresh flower on your nightstand. You can grab your own beer and mix your own drink the way you like it. Drinks are on the house, it’s included in the rate. Think of it as the difference between a stuffy dinner party or a casual gathering with good friends.
