The first thing one sees when going to the Bahamas is the water, as you fly over the Atlantic crossing over the Bahamas bank the water shallows and the color changes from a deep dark blue to hues of blue, turquoise and green.

The color grab you and pulls you in, the excitement builds because you know soon you will be fishing that beautiful colored water for spooky fast swimming fish.
