On the West Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula facing the Gulf of Mexico lies the "BIOSPHERE RESERVOIR OF LOS PETENES". Nowadays known as the "Tarpon Coast", shaped by more than 80 miles of mangrove shoreline, flats, countless rivers, cuts, creeks, channels and inner lagunas which make the ideal refuge or shelter for small tarpon.

Most of the time we are sightfishing or "hunt&fish" game. Rolling or gulping tarpons are easily located following the fins or tails on their way up or down the mangroves. Depending on tide conditions, moon phases and weather, we chase them along channel mouths, inner shallows in less than 3 ft of water or in open bays where they hide in the turtle grass bottom or below hanging mangrove branches. Skillful anglers still get amazed in very and novice anglers get hooked forever.

Native guides keep polling covering a vast territory searching in every spot, fishing miles and miles without seeing other boats. Opposite to other fishing locations in the Yucatan or Ascencion Bay, this is a primarily Tarpon Destination being the most important nursery in Latin America... INCREDIBLE ISN'T IT? This outfitter is the pioneer in the area, serving anglers for 4 years formed by a native team of expert guides with the most trained eyes in the region who have been riding these areas for commercial fishing for a long time and are now part of The Catch and Release Philosophy.

"This place is unlike any other Mexican destination I have fished, the small city is very clean and very historical. The people and food are wonderful and this outfitter is one of the best, most honest guys I have had the pleasure of doing buisness with. He and his team go out of their way to accommodate any request. I will return here as often as I can." —Capt. John

"Thank you for the great trip. Your service and team’s effort were first class. Endless flats, miles of mangrove edges, tidal rivers wide and narrow, the exploratory area, class hotel and the handsome/friendly city; I loved it all, even the super intense tight casting spots (and tossing myself out of the boat). I will be back soon and will recommend you to all of my angling brothers". –Charley Wilson, Maine
