“Bonefishing Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2007

I spent three wonderful days at the bonefish paradise known as North Riding Point Club. Rooms were immaculately maintained, all meals great (the lamb and snapper provencale was fabulous) - be sure to order the conch salad for your lunch on the boat - fresh and refreshing. The managers - Tim and Mercedes - were always available and seemingly willing to do anything in their power to make your stay a perfect one. And, the bonefishing was great - I landed 26 in 3 days. I think this was a better catch than usual - typical days here are 5-10 fish per boat, from what I understand. First class guides as well. All in all, I can't think of one thing I would improve upon. Oh yeah - take along some bug spray. One evening in the lawn showing another guest how to fly cast made my lower legs look like they had been through a meat grinder. No one else got bitten up, but I did. A word to the wise, and something easily preventable.

One item of note: each morning you will go to your appointed area with your guide in an SUV towing the flats boat. It will take about 45 minutes (based on my experience) to get there. I don't view this as a negative ; rather, it allows them to move spots if need be. But it does cut into some fishing time, or at least initial expectations of time spent on the water. For what its worth.

“great fishing, accommodations above average”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2007

The lodge is fine, very pleasant, nice rooms and a good dining room/communal living area. the pool is so-so but no one uses it, everyone is out fishing. The food was good but choices were limited (one or two entrees/night) and the portions were modest.

The fishing was good to excellent, our group of three was there for 3 and 1/ 2 days of bonefishing, we had shots at singles and small groups as well as larger schools. Never saw any permit. Most of the fishing is done out of the boat altho there is some opportunity to wade. There is a car ride of 30 to 40 mintes to the fishing on the other side of the island most days, but the fishing was very good and the flats and mangroves go on forever with few other fisherman. we caught up to 15 bones a day with a couple in the 12 lb. range; most fish are over 5 lbs, very few small fish.

there is also some fishing off the side of the island where the lodge is situated, not as long a drive, and you can spot some fish near the lodge as well before dinner. Overall good fisging for the money, i would go back.

Note that if you want to go into town (Lucaya) in the evening it's a long way and a $50 cab ride each way, bu the casino in Lucaya is OK, small but pleasant.
