Tarpon Trip 2009

For the 3rd year in row I returned to the quiet fishing village of San Felipe, on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Greeted by my friend Marco, owner of Yucatan Fly Fishing, at the Cancun airport, Kurt Brickner and I traveled to Hotel San Felipe: A.K.A - Tarpon Caye Lodge. You should already know that this location offers some of the best fishing in the world... why else would I have returned? Well it could also be the hospitality or the quality of the guides. And, don't forget the food. We ate fresh caught fish, shrimp, and lobster, all prepared in traditional Yucatan style.

Back to the fishing. How does jumping 48 tarpon sound? How does two doubles in the boat, and 5 doubles on sound? How does having 15 miles of the best tarpon flats and mangroves in the world all to yourself sound? That's right... Awesome! See for yourself.
