Isla
Holbox, Mexico
The
Gulf Coast of Mexico is a relatively newly-discovered destination
offering fast action for "fun" sized tarpon - young
fish in the 5 to 40 pound size range. Faro
Viejo Lodge
is a great place to stay, with modern resort-quality amenities,
a friendly English-capable staff, and GREAT experience tarpon
guides.
Fishing takes place in a series of lagoons fringing Mexico's gulf
coast;  mangrove-lined
saltwater lakes intermittently connected to the ocean ocean, where
small tarpon live and grow in relative protection from sharks
and other predators. Snook, some bonefish, and other game
species also inhabit these protected waters........a perfect grab-bag
of inshore saltwater gamefish.
The
smaller tarpon are there year-round, and the climate is perfect
for a tropical vacation. The island boasts superb white-sand
beaches, casual but excellent dining, no cars, and world-renowed
populations of tropical birdlife (a major flamingo rookery is
here), whale sharks, porpoises, sea rays, turtles, and spectacular
botanical diversity. IN other words, if you're on a hunt
for a place where you can fish, and your partner can be amused
by other pursuits, LOOK NO FARTHER.
Cancun, your air destination, is easy to get to, with competitive
flights from virtually everywhere. We'll pick you up at
the Cancun airport, and take you to the lodge by van and water
taxi. All you have to do then is settle in, soak up the
sun, and plan your first day's fishing.
Your
guide will pick you up early for breakfast and a tactics talk
the next morning.
Double occupancy full weeks: $2,095.
