he fertile mangrove-lined waters of Mexico’s northern Yucatan Peninsula represent the most prolific, juvenile tarpon
fishery in the world. Easy to get to, inexpensive, and well-suited to light tackle, this region is ideal for short trips or
for longer adventures that combine two or more of the destinations below. While considered a year-round destination
by some, we recommend visiting between April and November.
Tarpon Cay Lodge
Not far from the bustling madness of Cancun on the
northern shore of the Yucatan is the charming town of
San Felipe and an unparalleled opportunity to target
juvenile tarpon in the 5 to 25+ pound class. Recognized by the government for its biological wealth, this
incredible fishery has been designated a marine preserve,
thus protecting this tarpon “nursery” from commercial
netting and fishing.
Accommodations for six at Tarpon Cay Lodge are
airy and bright with all rooms featuring ocean views,
ceiling fans, air conditioning and private baths. Delicious, hearty meals are served in the main lodge with
most anglers taking full advantage of the rooftop decks
in the evening hours.
Rate: $3,295 per person for a 7 night/6 day package
Campeche
Located on the western Yucatan, the quaint historic
city of Campeche offers access to more than 80 miles of
mangrove coast, hundreds of inlet creeks, and numerous
channels rich with baby tarpon. Offering skilled and
kind-hearted guides, a wonderfully quaint town with
Mayan and Spanish history and flats-style sight fishing
for feisty tarpon in the 5 to 30 pound class, Campeche
is a favorite for saltwater anglers of all skills.
Standard packages offer accommodations at the
Ocean View Hotel, comparable to a Best Western. Light
breakfasts are served at the hotel and ample lunches are
served aboard the pangas. Guests enjoy evening meals (not
included) at various restaurants in this charming historical
city. Upgraded accommodations are also available.
Rate: $2,725-$2,800 per person for a 7 night/6 day package
Isla del Sabalo
Located about three hours north of Campeche by boat,
Isla del Sabalo or Island of the Tarpon, offers anglers a
quaint, small lodge venue from which to explore the most
remote waters of the greater Campeche Bay region. With a
vast array of habitats and crystal clear waters, anglers stalk
juvenile tarpon from the bow of guided pangas with little
if any competition.
Groups of six enjoy ocean facing, beachfront cottages
with private baths and tasty local fare served in the comfort
of the main palapa overlooking the water. Anglers fly into
the town of Merida where they will be met and transferred
1.5 hours in an air conditioned van to the island.

Bahia De Los Sueños, East Cape
For years we have waited and watched, hoping for the
creation of the ultimate, inshore Baja angling venue.
We wanted first class accommodations, guides skilled
in understanding the needs of fly fishers, quality
non-angling activities, and a pristine, protected white
sand beach in front of it all. Last year veteran guide
and founder of Beulah Rods, James Shaughnessy,
answered our call. Located 45 minutes southeast
of La Paz, Mexico, Bahia de los Sueños is centrally
located amidst Baja’s most prolific waters. Here fly
anglers enjoy world-class fishing for roosterfish, dorado, billfish, tuna and wahoo under the guidance of
James and his crew of skilled pangueros.
Accommodations are in lavish, beachfront villas that feature master suites with private baths and

With over 268 square miles of clear, shallow water

New Orleans, Louisiana NEW
There are lots of good reasons to visit New Orleans but
for us, the prospect of sight casting to monster redfish,
huge black drum and gator-sized speckled trout, tops
the chart. Gregg Arnold and his team of expert, licensed
captains know this region better than anyone. You will
fish from modern skiffs equipped with elevated casting
platforms, maximizing your chance to sight fish to big,
feeding fish in knee-deep water. To further sweeten the
deal, the targeted marsh complexes are true wilderness areas, where you rarely see another boat, much less another
fisherman! For anglers who catch their fill of big redfish,
offshore fishing for tuna, cobia, and other pelagic species
is also available. With a range of accommodations near
the action in town, the evenings also hold considerable
promise for a taste of what New Orleans is all about. The
best time to visit for trophy fish is in late fall.
