Autec / Fad Buoy Coordinates For Bahamas ?

fishensticker · 10-11-2007, 09:58 PM

With wahoo season approaching, I'm planning to head to the Bahamas for some 'hooing. Even though it's not prime tuna season, I'd also like to do a little tuna fishing if I end up near any of the AUTEC or other FADS. I've been to Andros and fished off of Fresh Creek, but I've heard of some other buoys further North, but not seen them on any charts. Any suggestions or coordinates you're willing to share ?

as far as I know the only FADs are off Andros, there are 3 with the most productive being the northern most one.

The one off Stafford is N24 54 W77 49, easy to see/radar as they are so big.

Ditto on the 'hoo trip. I'm planning on an early Feb trip to West End/Bimini. Any tuna intell would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
