Cold Front Claims of the Caribbean and Bahamas


It's always best to take an empirical approach to the claims of flats fishing destinations that they are outside of the reach of cold fronts. Though you may hear certain Southeast Bahamian islands making this claim, the only sure bet in the wintertime Atlantic/ Caribbean basin are Bonaire and Los Roques off Venezuela. The cold front pictured here is sweeping the entire Bahamian nation. Although fronts of this severity and sweep are less usual, they happen! Keep an open mind with your wintertime flats fishing plans and try to take it really South in times of super-cold weather. If you have that luxury, you won't have to choose between front days, since they simply will not reach that far down. Though pictures are subject to interpretation, they are also worth a least a few, if not a thousand words.
