Just got back from a week in the Abaccos, had two boats one was a floating hotel 65' Hattares, the 31 Contender we used every day to cruse around in the Sea of Abaco. Really windy all week so only made it outside the reef one day for an hour or so before the girls got queazy in the 6 plus foot seas. Did a little trolling but no hits.
We did catch some small mangos, a bunch of grunts, small groupers, cuda's and hooked a big hound fish that made one long run before coming unhooked. Ate like kings and had a great time with Elia, my girlfriend her Sister Tiziana, John her BF, and a niece and her girlfriend.

Looks amazing! Sorry about the wind...
Looked on Google Earth to see where that is --
Beautiful area...
Looks like the depth really drops off as you move just a little to the Southeast, and off the shelf.
Thanks for sharing, AA.
Best,
Fred
Nice Mark, when am I getting invited to set foot on that Hatteras? ;D
Very nice! Too bad about the wind. I would be getting queasy in 6' seas myself.
One of my favorite places in the world. My ancestors on my mom's side came from Green Turtle Key(Lowes). My dad's side came from New Providence (Pritchards).
We ate lunch on man o war cay one day they got beer now, they make Albury Brothers boats I wandered into the shop where they were laying up a hull, preping for liner http://alburybrothers.com (http://alburybrothers.com)
Met a woodworker grumpy old man named Hartley said he never met another with his nam till me still grumpy guy.
I been three years in a row now lots of beautiful water, flats and deep, oddly inside not much hard bottom.
It's a paradise for sure, and I'm a lucky guy to get to enjoy it a lot in my life.
