TARPON TOWN

BABY & JUVENILE TARPON PREMIER FISHERY IN MEXICO

The Biosphere Reserve of Los Petenes is a vast system of mangroves and wetlands. This environment brings constant streams of freshwater into the Gulf of Mexico, making it the perfect brackish water (is salt water and fresh water mixed) for baby and juvenile tarpon, and barracuda. The town of Campeche is located on the Western Yucatan, looking toward the Gulf of Mexico.

What to expect

I've hosted numerous baby tarpon fishing trips at Campeche, a wonderful historic city in Mexico. Campeche is located on the Gulf of Mexico, about six hours SW of Cancun. The people are very friendly, the city is clean, and the baby tarpon fishing is amazing. I had never been to a city in Mexico before where people are out jogging and exercising in the evening. Campeche is recognized as a World Heritage Site with a population of around 300,000 people.
Once our group reaches Campeche, everything is included except for dinners and gratuities. Our group goes each night for fantastic local cuisine. Dinners are priced comparable to the states. If you don’t want to walk to the restaurants, the hotel shuttle van or a taxi can drive us. We stay at the Ocean View, a modern, air-conditioned hotel that has a swimming pool, gym, free Wi-Fi, and a hot fishermen’s breakfast for us each day at 5:30 a.m. Following breakfast, we walk across the road and get into the boats.
For this hosted trip, we supply the flies, and I have extra rods available if needed. We can also assist with plane reservations to this destination. It’s best to fly into Merida, Mexico, from Houston. In Merida, the outfitter will pick us up, and drive us to the Ocean View Hotel, about a 90-minute drive. Because we’ll get in late at night, we’ll take the first day off to relax, get the rods rigged and ready to fish, and I’ll give an hour-long introduction to tarpon fishing and what to expect during the week. We’ll fish the next five days.
