Home water, and the right boat for it.

A flats boat for bonefish and an excursion boat for everything else, out of Spanish Wells.

Bullseye Bonefishing started with me, Shaw Underwood, and a flats boat. I started guiding because I had spent my whole life on the flats around Spanish Wells and people kept asking me to take them. When you book a bonefishing day with Bullseye you get me on the platform, and I would rather run fewer trips well than more trips badly.

The name comes from the logo, and the logo comes from the fishing: a target, an arrow, and a fly line looped around the whole thing. It is on the boat and it is on the shirts, and after enough seasons people wave at it from the dock.

Why Spanish Wells

This is a fishing town. The boats in the harbour go out for lobster and the men on the dock have been reading this water for generations, mine included. There is no lodge here, no rotation of guides across the same flats, and that is why the bonefish are the way they are. I fish the flats I grew up on and I know them the way you know the road to your house.

How I guide

Patient with beginners, because everyone was one. Relentless with the anglers who want a big fish, because I want it too. Honest about the weather, the tide and what is biting, because a guest who trusts me comes back, and most of mine do.

The boats

Each kind of day has its own boat. Bonefishing is on a Bossman Tailspotter, a flats boat set up for two anglers. The reef, offshore trips and family boat days are on a 26 foot center console with a shade top, a cooler for the fish you keep and another for drinks. Both are on their own page.

Licensed and insured

Bullseye is a licensed Bahamian charter, and both boats are registered and insured. Bonefish are released. Reef fish are kept within Bahamian regulations. We follow the grouper closed season and the lobster season.
