We will definitely return...,

"Grand Bahamas bonefishing with Orvis Travel, Pelican Bay and H2O Bonefishing is an excellent experience. There are lots of fish, the guides are excellent and Pelican Bay will satisfy your spouse and children. We didn't see any other folks on the water, so the fishery isn't as heavily pressured as some other islands in the Bahamas. The guide service was truly outstanding and very friendly. Paddy ,the transfer driver, delivered exceptionally good service with her great personality and friendliness. Greg did a terrific job touching base and managing around some difficult weather. He communicated in advance and handled all very well. The most enjoyable part of the trip was Bonefishing with Ishmael and my son Ben, while catching a nice 8 lb. plus bone fish. The pre-trip service was excellent. Very good judgment on picking a location and hotel for the entire family to enjoy. Overall, a great spring trip that is only a short flight away!"

H20 Bonefish Classic,

August 15, 2011

By: DavidDR

from Jackson Hole, Wyoming

"If you want a chance to catch big bonefish, the guides at H20 are the people to see. Hats off to Greg Vincent and Jason Alexander for another great trip to GB. The guides are superb and the fishery is amazing. I've made 3 trips with H20 and in the process of planning the next trip to GB. This last trip was in conjunction with Bonefish Tarpon Trust and hosted by Orvis. All the folks at Orvis Travel make sure the trip goes smooth. See you soon."

H20,

By: DavidDR

from Jackson Hole, Wyoming

"Are you looking to catch big bonefish? H20 on Grand Bahama is the place. Greg Vincent & Jason Alexander and their guides provide a quality fishing environment. Plenty for the non-angler too. My last trip, June 2011, was co-sponsored by Bonefish Tarpon Trust and I had a great time. I've been to GB and fished with H20 3 times and each trip gets better. "Thuderpants""

Thank you Orvis!,

May 25, 2011

By: TerryD

"Everything was great, from the accommodations to the guide. The fishing was excellent and the guide was very knowledgeable. I wouldn't change a thing. Jason from H2O Bonefishing was the ultimate host. Our guide Theo was very pleasant and knew where the fish were. Paddy our transfer driver was quite a character and very timely. I can't imagine having a better experience on my very first bonefishing trip. My wife was so pleased, she wants to come back next year. Port Lucaya is a wonderful place to visit, with great shops and restaurants as well as a nice beach for my wife. The entire experience was fantastic! I learned a lot about bonefishing and greatly improved my skills by day 3, thanks to the guide. Thank you Orvis for putting together a fantastic trip. My Orvis Travel agent Tyler Atkins, made sure everything was perfect."

"Thank you Orvis for putting together a fantastic trip. My Orvis agent, Tyler Atkins, made sure everything was perfect. The accommodations were great. The guide was fantastic and the bonefishing was great! Jason with H2O Bonefishing and our guide “TO” were great. Jason was a great host and spent lots of time with us each evening after the fishing. He gave my wife some casting lessons.

I learned a lot on the trip about bonefishing and my casting skills. I got skunked on the first day no fault of the guide who put me into fish but just my inexperience bonefishing. I finally hooked up the second day and caught my first fish wading the sand flats with my wife. What a thrill to have a fish make a 100’ run without changing direction! The third day I caught 5 fish and had 7 hookups. I finally learned how to cast to them and what to look for.

I can't imagine having a better experience on my very first Bonefishing trip. My wife was so pleased, she wants to come back next year."

"My wife and I had a go at something completely new for "Troutfishing Saltwater Beginners Flyfishers" - BONEFISHING!!!
Greg Vincent from H2O Bonefishing is a great guy who responded very well in accommodating all our requests including to provide us with - as we believe, his best guide Ishmael on all but one day. We've to congratulate him and Jason to the team they've got around them - great guys. He also had a Helios 8wt tip and a Zero Gravity 8wt mid set aside for us to use - great rods for that kind of fishing.

Ishmael got us on to the Bonefish on our first day and both of us were able to land one. There was only one mishap - which was my fault, when my wife had her fish in the boat ready for the photo shoot, the camera asked for a change of battery - the spare one was in the hotel room. What a blow! But the three of us know that she's caught one and was holding it and that her fish was the same size as mine if not a bit bigger.

The fishing was very tuff even for the so called "pro's", due to the weather conditions - winds up to 25mph, poor visibility for the guides, rain and thunderstorms, which resulted in only three and a half days fishing for us instead of five. But the weather just can't be influenced and one has to take it as it presents itself - that's fishing no matter where you are.

It was still a great experience for us and best of all - we both landed our first Bonefish, the fastest and most difficult fish to catch we've ever experienced.

Thanks again guys."

Expansive flats, big fish!,

October 20, 2007

By: Elkins

from Orvis Travel, Sunderland, Vermont

"I write this review while sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport on my way back to Vermont from my second fishing trip with Greg and Jason from Pelican Bay Bonefishing. On my first trip I was surprised by the large average size of the fish and the endless flats on the north side of Grand Bahama. Greg took some time on this trip to show me the south side of the island where white sandy beaches strech for miles and are home to large schools of bonefish and the occasional permit. These beaches, although wonderful for wading, are best accessed by flats boats piloted by the experienced guides. The south side is only good when the tides and winds are right, but wow, when it is right, it is right! In only a few hours these guys had me casting to large schools, singles and a couple legitimate shots at permit. Yesterday, my final day, Greg and Jason took me into a remote mangrove creek that opened up onto a small flat. In short time, Jason had hooked a 4 or 5 pound bone. While we were trying to land this fish, a bonefish that I estimate at 12 pounds lazily cruized by seemingly aware that we had our hands full. Amazingly, this is only one of three fish over ten pounds that came into easy casting range during my short trip.
As an experienced saltwater angler, I really enjoy fishing Grand Bahama Island's flats with Pelican Bay Bonefishing and recommend it often to Orvis customers. There are no comparibly sized resorts in The Bahamas, that I know of, that have a fishing program this good. The variety of non-angling opportunities brings a lot of couples to Pelican Bay but it is the quality fishing that increasingly brings hard core anglers, whether they have a non angling traveling companion or not. It is worth mentioning, however, that Grand Bahama isn't a great choice for non-guided anglers, because of access issues, vast mangrove mud flats, etc. if you are looking for a complete Bahamas bonefishing experience while staying in a larger resort, the guides of Pelican Bay Bonefishing are my first choice."

November 21, 2006

By: Craig S.

"I fished with Pelican Bay twice in the past two years. Greg Vincent and company put on one heck of a show! Greg took my 10 year old son fishing free of charge and scored him 4 nice bonefish. Greg sent us some wonderful photographs of my son and fish after we returned home. Lodging and local food are excellent. And fishing is fantastic with up to 15 bonefish landed in a single day. I can't think of a single improvement and highly recommend Pelican Bay Bonefishing."
