Bair's Lodge Fishing Report

02 May 13

The fishing in February on South Andros is a little like the weather…up and down. February is a transition month from winter-type weather patterns to spring-type weather patterns. During February, South Andros will experience alternating days of low winds and bright skies to higher winds and overcast skies. By the end of February we have more nice days than blustery days.
