Andros, Bahamas

them first
No one knows the fish
that swim these waters
Bahamians like Glaister and Mary have spent a lifetime on the water, learning the flow of the tides, the movement of the wildlife, and the deep connection between the two.
Out on the flats, your guide knows just what to look for. the right waters — low tide spots with soft, steady ripples along the surface. And the tell-tale movement of a fish — a silver glimmer or a bit of kicked up sand. follow your guide's direction — “fish at 2 o’clock, 15 yards”— and the odds of a catch are in your favour.
And if you come up empty, it’s still a day spent on the water.
“I like to see people fired up, energetic people who’ve never done it before. I go to myself, ‘We’re in for a ride today.’”
PLAY in Glaister's words
“The first thing Iknew — before my name was Mary — was water. They showed me thewater, and that was it.”
