- The Outdoors with Carl Allen presents: Walker's Cay [S1E5]
Walker's Cay is where the Bonefish meet the Blue Marlin & there is everything in between. Carl & Gigi Allen have a mission to restore the legendary island not only for the generations past that have enjoyed it, but also for a new generation that, until now, haven't had the opportunity to enjoy.

During the late 60s and 70s I was the guest of the Abplanalp family. What an honor celebrating a Mass for the island guests. I remember the times when the the then President Richard Nixon would visit Mr. And Mrs. Abplanalp. Surely Bob, a man of so many ideas for the Bahamas, especially “Walkers”. And no doubt “bone fish Johnny” must be very happy. Thanks for
Introducing me to this new production and your desire to keep a chapel there. Fr. Milt
Eric Carey articulated so well, the mission of what Carl Allen and the family are trying to do. Well said, brotha!
I was there once in 84' ...Beautiful, perfect place that should be restored ... Thankful to the Allen's for having the courage and the passion to make it happen ..
Thanks to Carl Allen and .Mrs Allen for reviving a legend, definitely on my bucket list,loved to watch walker cay chronicles with flip pallot
I hope they bring a quality dive operation to Walkers. Took my 16 year old daughter there to get her Advanced Open Water rating. That was some of the best diving that I've ever done. So glad to see this beautiful island coming back to life.
Gorgeous resort. Bahamas water and flats: second to nobody
Bertram vs Hatteras Shootout!
Mr. And Mrs Allen, thank for your interest and rebuilding Walkers. I loved my visits there with another “A” family, the Abplanalp’s.
I remember watching the Walkers Cay Chronicles with Flip Pallette, Jose Wejebe and many others. Thank you for reviving this iconic island paradise. Walkers epitomizes what i think the salt water fishing experience can be.
It’s been way too long. This is one of the best places on earth.
Best episode yet. I'm sitting here in Stuart waiting on the word to book my first trip ever to Walker's Cay.
in the same boat as you, lets run over there this summer
Come visit! The runway and marina are open!
love to see this...grew up watching the Chronicals
Well it looks like a very special place I would like to catch all those fish 🎣 and eat them😀
Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Allen, for investing your money, time and souls into restoring this beautiful place.
love, from 80 going there, love to return doc paco
I stayed at Walkers Cay several times in the early eighties. It's nice to see it coming back.
The construction should really be “tilt up” concrete construction because it will with stand hurricanes. I’ve stayed and fished walkers back in the early 1990s and it was awesome!
Been in concrete for the past 43 years and your right best for protection
Thanks for the vid. I was the excavator on High Cay to the south of you guys across from Coopers Town. Always had an 8wt close to 330 Cat.
This is great to see, Walker's getting a new life. I made two trips to Walker's, one in I believe 1997 and again in 2004. These were dive trips. I knew about the legendary fishing there, but the diving was top-notch as well. With many years of diving behind me, the Shark Rodeo dive at Walker's has always held a special place in my diving memories. Good luck to you Mr and Mrs Allen, I hope to visit you out there in the future.
I remember when Flip Pallet used to do the Walker cray Chronicles there oh gosh it must have been 30 years ago.. it's been a dream of mine to go there or even work there hint hint hit me up
Started fishing in 1978 with Capt. Billy and Capt Jerome. Became friends with Bahama Rose and got to know almost all the Bahamians on both islands. Took clients and friends to Walkers from Naples for the next twenty years. Can’t wait to return.
Capt. Paul Harvey
From the ashes rises the fishing phoenix to continue its incredible legacy as one of the greatest sport fishing places on earth and a site to behold , thanks to the Allen family for reviving the pearl of the Bahamas. 🥂🍾
I've been to Walker's 20 something times and miss it incredibly. I cannot wait to do battle with the bonefish on the flats and come back and sit at the bar.
This will be the one Island I swing by on the Sailboat in the Bahamas.
So nice to see the Allen family do this. What a great spot!
Great to see Walker’s back
I spent easter on the Island for over 15 years, can not wait to see the finished product! thank you to the Allen family for bringing back a legend.
Man these vids are really well produced. This needs to be on Discovery. Love these.
My uncle, Clark Balsinger has been keeping me updated. Love what is being done.
HOPE TO FISH THERE ONE DAY!
Outstanding. Can't wait to go visit and fish.
I was sad to hear the old church was sacrificed. I'm glad you found a better spot and are able to incorporate parts of the old structure. Great job, Gigi and Carl!
GREAT VIDEO. Legency continues. Thanks for sharing
Glad to find your channel Carl, I was a diver on the Maravilla in 74.
I went there with a group of friends in the mid-2000’s. Me and the boats owner went up to the bar on top of the hill and got smashed while the boys cracked conch and prepared dinner. Only after I woke up the next day, I realized that I had the tougher job - keeping the old man happy - I was the human chum slick all day.
Can’t wait to come back!
Orlando here. You will be seeing us for sure at Walker's
Absolutely beautiful a great video indeed 😊
Thank you so much for restoring this beautiful island! I spent many a summer here when I was a little girl girl in the 70’s. I hope to get back and visit again!
Thank you for inspiring all of us!
My story is similar to most, been there as a kid and an adult. I am ready too. Thanks Carl.
Congrats to You and the Allen Family Carl, So many of my childhood memories took place on and around Walkers, The one birthday that sticks out in my mind is my 14th. in 1974 in the old Marina. My father Joe god bless his sole would be so proud to see what Y'all have done!
Good Luck to You and Catch Em Up my friend
Oh my gosh this is so exciting I have no more words for it Shangri-La returns part 2.... we are ALL so grateful for the effort put forth to some incredible Adventure and enjoying this incredible resource
Video cool video! Great editing! Cheers from the Finger Lakes!
I am but one lottery win away from that bigger boat and spending as much time as possible at Walker's.
Hope to SAIL over there one day... (and start my Bahamas exploration from the Top). Hope the channels are deep - and maintained- enough!!
I remember the fishing shows years ago. I would love to spend a week there. Need an electrician?
Thank you!
flown in two times, great spot, hope they have customs again. Easy flight from St Petersburg.
Imagine if each boat brought a few bags of sand to help expand the island over time!
So beautiful 🌴 Where is flip 🎣
Cannot wait to be there!
Just found you’re Utube channel and what memories I had. I lived next door to Chuck Jelkie who had the boat Island Trader (I think that was the name) and also on our canal in Boca was the Born Free that was Joe Currans boat. They both would go to Walkers a lot and as a high school kid got to earn money by cleaning boats and mate. Do you remember either one of them?
Keep up the good work thanks
Great video! Really enjoyed!
Thanks!
Well this is awesome!!!
I want to go to Walkers Cay Bahamas!!
I was 18year old when I caught my first blue marlin
And PS fishing is my passion....
I’ll be there in 10 years when I retire
I hope WC and Flip are re-start Walkers Cay Chronicles. That would be amazing!
Dammit !! I am too old now...
They will get all finished and running well. Then that megawave you hear scientists talk about will come and smash it all to pieces.
Billy Black still around?
Check out Episode 2!
We spend 2 days fishing with Billy Black!
Wish it was still closed, better chance it might survive. But Jesus loves ya, praise the Lord.
Welcome back
WOW 😳
@6:14 He is “Five-0” next year he will be “Five-1”.
Haha we will pass this along to him!
It's been about 24 years since my first and only trip to Walkers and on that weekend we met 5-0 (McGarrett). We hired him to take us lobstering and he put us on some monsters.
I'm glad to see he's still around. 👍
@@rasdamaan He’s a legend!
Would have like to see some catch and release of caught fish like here in Australia
Check out Taj Mahal’s song Walker’s Cay. It would be a great advertisement .
Great song!
Incredible video. I work for InTheBite Magazine....would it be possible to chat with Mr. Allen further?
Please email bchavez@allenexploration.com
What procedure do we need to do to fly there and see the island?
wow
Would Solar system and wind turbines work well on your island to provide electricity throughout?
What about sailboat
Jose put Walker's on the map.....
A fishing/Drinking Hole in the water.
It's Better In The 242!
Any chance you know the owner of yacht TCB? Close friend of mine.
Hi
Ethan!
Playground for the uber rich. Yawn.
Your not allowed to fish at walkers cay then they show people fishing ! Which is it a no fishing park or not ? Put the gaff in the fish then in a cooler !
Where is the so called no fishing written ??
Typical ... people return to an island an immediately the local wild life has to suffer for sport. :(
🤩🛵☕️☕️out there !!!
I remember when Flip Pallet used to do the Walker cray Chronicles there oh gosh it must have been 30 years ago.. it's been a dream of mine to go there or even work there hint hint hit me up
Thank you!
