Mexico: Tarpon Coast
Mexico: Tarpon Coast Mexico: Tarpon Coast

April 2011, Specific Date TBA

Join Angling Destinations for a trip to Campeche, Mexico, perhaps the best location we know of for fast and furious baby tarpon action. Averaging 8-12 lbs. (with specimens caught each year up to 40 lbs.) these mini silver kings pack all the fun of the bigger variety without the hour-long, down and dirty street fight. The habitat along this 52 miles of fishable coastline offers huge turtle grass flats, beautiful river bocas (river mouths) and a labyrinth of back country creeks and bays reminiscent of the Florida Everglades. With the extensive habitat in a perfect delicate balance, the conditions are just right to create a spawning grounds for thousands of juvenile tarpon. The dense back country mangrove area offers shelter and plenty of food for these fish. As they grow, they move into the rivers and bocas, eventually foraging for baitfish on the lush turtle grass flats along the coastline.

After many years, and many trips fishing this area, we are once again returning to the Tarpon Coast to host a trip for seven anglers with the intention of making runs to the remote northern grass flats to chase the 20 to 40 pound tarpon. Of course, we'll also fish the back country mangroves, as well its many bays and small creeks. Campeche offers some spectacular sight fishing opportunities and we are excited to offer this trip to our clients. We'll have the areas best and most experienced guides, as well as excellent boats and deluxe lodging. If you like fishing for tarpon or have never done it and want to see if all the superlatives are true, this is THE trip for you!

Price $1995. Limit 7 anglers.

Mongolia River Float Trip

September 15-23, 2010

This beautiful river supports huge populations of lenok and grayling, but the river's most famous resident is the legendary taimen. Taimen, the world’s largest member of the Salmonidae family, will typically average over three feet with some monsters approaching five feet. On our past trip, most anglers usually hook at least one big taimen daily, but it is possible to hook many more in a single day. The river also produces phenomenal numbers of lenok. With the right hatch, boats commonly land over fifty of these beautiful fish in a single day.

We will float in Aire “Super Pumas” oared rafts. Anglers will be accommodated in Mongolian yurts complete with a wood stove, two twin beds with linens, a table and chairs. Ex-suite bathroom facilities have hot water showers. An English speaking staff offers friendly service and the camp's cooks create sumptuous meals perfectly suited to western tastes. We will catch most taimen using large mouse or streamer patterns on a nine or ten-weight rod. A five or six wt. rod with smaller trout patterns produces healthy lenok and grayling. The cost will be $4,950.00 for an 8 day itinerary. Limit 6 anglers.

Last spring's trip was so spectacular, we decided to reserve the same week for this spring! In the small, clear blackwater tributaries of the Amazon River, you'll catch all three species of peacock bass including the butterfly, the spotted and the temenis. Peacock bass are one of the strongest gamefish in the world and they are known for ferocious topwater strikes, gill-rattling jumps and unstoppable runs. In addition to peacock bass, other species include payara, piranha, pirarucu, aruana, jancunda and countless other species. This fishery is world class and should be experienced by any dedicated light tackle angler.

Accommodations are in spacious, air-conditioned bungalows equipped with private baths. Anglers are guaranteed a long fishing day, experienced guides and a friendly and flexible Brazilian staff. If you’ve always dreamed about fishing the Amazon Basin, this is your chance to do it in style.
