The Warm Water Angler

This trip is designed for the fisherman looking for some world class clearwater, warmwater fishing. You'll target big Tarpon, baby Tarpon, Snook, Barracuda, Cobia, Sea Trout and even Permit on occasion.

Day 1-You will be picked up at your hotel in Cancun or the airport. Your private van will take you through the jungle of the Yucatan to the island of Holbox. At the village of Chiquila you will board a private boat for the thirty minute ride to the beach in front of your home for the next few days. The manager will meet you on the beach and welcome you to the island and the lodge.

Subsequent Days- Luciano will waken you early with a fresh cup of brewed coffee at your door. We may have a continental breakfast or eat on the boat to get an earlier start. The guide will report the weather conditions and depending upon his recommendations you and one other angler will head out in classic Ponga fishing boats perfectly suited for our waters. The giant Tarpon gather nearby in clear shallow water and feed on the migrating bait fish and you will chase and intercept schools while presenting your “Black Death” fly in hopes of jumping a hungry Tarpon. Each battle can last 30 to 45 minutes and you might bring one or less in three to the boat. However that one may well be the best tarpon of your career. You will return in the mid afternoon (8 hours of fishing). When wind conditions make casting efforts unproductive, we’ll move into the mangrove lagoons where the guide will pole your boats in search of the healthy resident population of baby Tarpon and Snook. Upon your return to the lodge we’ll have a golf cart available for a couple hours of island exploration. You may also simply choose to lounge on the beach.
The lounges will be available at the waters edge for a cold drink as you watch the sun drop into the Gulf. Later, Luciano will have the happy hour beverages and hors d’oeuvres ready for you and the guide as we discuss the day’s activity and then plan the schedule for the following morning. Our manager will advise you on the various excellent restaurant options available for you after happy hour.

Your Last Day- You will rise late for a delightful last breakfast and a special espresso on the terrazzo. Depart mid morning from the lodge by private boat for the connecting van to Cancun or your next fishing stop on the Yucatan Peninsula. We can arrange extension trips to Bone Fishing Lodges in Ascension Bay. You may also charter a small plane for the flight to the Cancun Airport from the little airfield on the island.
