FISHING ON INAGUA

THE ISLAND

So, let’s talk about Great Inagua, the third-largest and southernmost island in the Bahamas—it’s about 55 miles from Cuba’s eastern tip. The island’s got a lot to offer, from its lush landscapes to tranquil spots like Lake Windsor, which is one of its biggest. Now, if you’re into fishing, you’ll be in heaven here. The waters around Inagua are teeming with life—bonefish, tarpon, permit, snook, mutton snapper, jacks, triggerfish, and barracuda. As for the island’s community, there are about 800 people living here, so it’s a tight-knit group. And while the Morton Salt Company is a big part of the island’s economy—producing tons of sea salt each year—it’s just one small piece of the larger, laid-back charm of Inagua.
