I've always wanted to fish here . . . Might have to take a trip to Andros one day . . .
The Tongue of the Ocean is a geological phenomenon in the Bahamas just east of Andros Island.
You can see the definative "wall" that supposedly the depth of the water drops from roughly 100 ft to 10,000 ft, and the drop is roughly 100 miles long. Locals typically refer to the Tongue of the Ocean as "TOTO."
It is known to Bahamian sailors as a very dangerous place due to the common presence of military personnel and equipment from a nearby US submarine training base, the Cuban Navy and numerous drug runners and pirates. Sailors are warned to use extreme caution in this area.
Supposedly, because of the Geological phenomenon, it is used by the US Navy for training for submarines because of how "quiet" that area is . . .
Supposedly, the "trash-fish" there is Monster Kings . . . I was told they are considered trash fish, because of the fact that Kingfish spoil quicker than other fish and because of their size, they are hard to transport before spoiling . . .
... anyway . . . . .
