Deep Water Cay, located at the tip of Grand Bahama Island, was founded in 1958 by two famous fishermen, A.J. McClane and Gil Drake. Their love of bonefishing and desire to combine the sport with a paradisiacal place to unwind led them to build a resort on the cay. The unparalleled bonefishing drew in anglers from all over the world. Since then, Deep Water Cay has hosted generations of families, all enchanted by the natural beauty of this private getaway.

Deep Water Cay may depend on a 95-million-year-old fish, but ultimately it is a human endeavor made possible by the energies and talents of the local Bahamian people.” —Tom Brokaw

I was afoot across a vast flat, the late day sun in my face, surrounded on all sides by tailing bonefish. It was so beautiful, so ideal as to almost seem surreal. Those glittering tails and dorsi glittering in the sun, stretching out to the horizon. One last chunky five-plus-pound fish ate my mantis pattern and churned off toward the sun with backing peeling off my reel. That’s how I’ll remember this trip, and what will fuel my ambition to return.”
