Crooked Island is one of the most exciting fishing destinations in the Bahamas; flats fishing, inshore fishing, and deep sea fishing all are incredibly productive. Secluded beach picnics and lighthouse tours are just two of the many activities we offer. The island has been a destination for private pilots, scuba divers, and beachcombers for many years. Crooked Island Lodge, a beachfront hotel, accommodates guests in twelve tropical rooms and delights in giving personalized attention. Located on the picturesque northwest corner of the island, the Lodge looks out onto the beautiful Bird Rock Lighthouse, which was built in 1876. Pittstown Point is home to a two thousand foot runway which makes Crooked Island Lodge ideal for private planes as well as charter flights. Limited commercial flights are available from Colonel Hill.
 The flats fishing on the south side of Crooked Island has the friendliest bonefish found anywhere. By limiting our operation to six boats per week, we ensure this quality of fishing is preserved for many years to come. The average bonefish is around three to four pounds, with shots at six to eight pounders daily. Last season there were over a dozen ten pound plus bonefish caught. Permit can be found most of the year and our guides are eager to fish for them. We are not a tarpon destination, but good numbers are being jumped and landed in late spring and summer. Sharks and barracudas are abundant on the flats and make for lots of excitement.
 Inshore fishing has become one of our guests' favorite pastimes, taking place in water less than one hundred feet. Join us in catching grouper, snapper, hard fighting jacks, mackerel, sharks, and cudas, (mostly done by chumming, which brings the fish right to the angler.) Inshore fishing is a productive way for fly fisherman to catch many species of fish that otherwise tend to be elusive. Try this fast paced excursion ... it's sure to become your favorite too. Night fishing trips are available.
Thunderbird Charters invites you to experience the thrill of offshore fishing around Crooked Island. The fishing is incredible. We are fishing in water that no other sport fishing boats are touching. Daily catches often exceed thirty fish. Near world record wahoo are being caught regularly. We do it all ... trolling, chumming, live bait, and fly fishing. We are currently putting together a blue water fly fishing program that will round out your fishing experience.
