Fishing and boat excursions from Russell Island
Across the bridge from Spanish Wells, and a few minutes from the flats.
The dock.
The public dock in Spanish Wells, a few minutes across the bridge by golf cart; we message you the exact spot the night before. Run times from here are the same as Spanish Wells: the flats, the reef, the sandbar and Pig Island are all short runs. Some of the flats I fish are on the Russell Island shore itself, so on a good tide we may be fishing within sight of your rental.
What we do from here.
People search for Russell Island because they have found a rental there and want to know what it is. It is residential and rural. There is no town; you go to Spanish Wells for groceries, restaurants and the bakery, and it is a five minute cart ride. The water on the north side is shallow and clear, the sunsets face west over the banks, and it is one of the calmest places to stay in the Bahamas. It is also, quietly, a very good place to be based for bonefishing.
