Drift: Bahamas

After 50 years as a guide, Bonefish Charlie Smith has become synonymous with bonefish fishing in the Bahamas. But he is much more than just a fisherman with a graceful cast and a knack for locating prize silvery bonefish: He’s a bluesman, historian, raconteur and truly a one-of-a-kind character. As the operator of the famous Bang Bang Club in the Bahamas—where the water is like glass and the sky cotton-candy pastels—this protagonist shares his stories and sharp instincts, sings constantly and finishes each day on the dock, practicing his perfect casts and watching the sun go down.
