Tarpon Fishing Paradise

---

We offer Tarpon fishing in this famous fishing area. 

 Miles and miles of mangroves and shallow seagrass beds and the most prolific baby tarpon fishery in the world.  The abundance of tarpon has to be seen to be believed and it is not uncommon to come across schools numbering in the hundreds. That doesn’t mean these are easy to catch as these fish are after all tarpon. 

The local fishery is protected as a marine reserve, preventing commercial fishermen from targeting the lagoons. With low-fishing pressure, as there are only seven guides working between San Felipe and Río Lagartos, the ecosystem thrives, supporting an exceptional fishery. When you go out to fish it is likely that you will be the only people fishing for miles around.

Although the focus is on baby tarpon there are other species worth chasing particularly by casting or spinning. 

 Fishing can be arranged as a double or single session.

Morning session 5:30 - 10:30
