Howdy fishing family! Wow, seriously, after a record warmest month in December we are now seeing a record cold in the month of January! Our last boated tarpon were in December and yes folks, by women! Many hook ups after that but since January 2, we have had super cold fronts move over us and have just simply shut down the snook and tarpon. 

I see my daily Facebook pop ups from last year and the years before and lots of tarpon and snook caught...But because of our colder temps that have chille...

Howdy folks! Well both May and June since the tarpon have moved into our area, the fishing has been both super exciting and frustrating as well..Frustrating because in the past two months, we have had 21 tarpon hook ups but only 6 photographs. As you know they are very hard to keep hooked and with all that thrashing around it is no wonder why! The coolest thing tho is we get to target the tarpon all the way thru January. 



Not only the tarpon that have been exciting, but the speckled sea trout ...

Howdy everyone....I hope this blog finds everyone just super swell...Here in Progreso Mexico we have had an awesome winter and early spring...warm weather and awesome fishing...the speckled sea trout have been as always super abundant. Each outing with guests are producing 15 to 60 fish being caught...and as always we promote catch and release and only keeping a few for lunch! 



As each year at this time we begin to get really excited for the return of the Tarpon....weekly we have been checking...

What a blast the fishing here in the Progreso Mexico area has been over the past months..The Tarpon....wow, we have hooked onto some huge tarpon and have lost a number of them as well. A very tough fish to catch and let me tell you when you do, you just can not stop shaking for an hour. It is a thrill indeed and I feel so blessed to have put a large number of our guest on those big fish and for many their very first in their lives!!!





The tarpon will stay in till around January and so we will c...

Howdy everyone....Where do I start...ok, August here in the Yucatan of Mexico is always HOT. Progreso is our location as you know and even tho is it always hot and humid here, the weather is unbeatable....365 days of awesome backwater fishing...August has been an unusual month tho....First, earlier this month I personally, while with guest from the Carnival Cruise Ship porting here, caught the record Ria fish for the area at 5.2 pounds... Previous record was held by a dear friend Gary Draper ...

I am sorry for not posting more here in our blog but seriously I am fishing so much, not a lot of time after relaxation to get to it....but here is is....As always the fishing here is has been awesome as folks can read from our TripAdvisor reviews. The speckled sea trout here are always on and we are always catching 30 to 60 fish per outing and a number of 2 and 3 plus pounders. On the Okuma light action rod and reels the fight is a blast.



As my notes stated over the past 3 years the Tarpon be...

Howdy folks, well the later part of the summer and the fall here in Progreso Mexico has been such a blast to fish. Lots of 5 to 30 pound tarpon have been caught and as always lots and lots of speckled sea trout. The beauty of fishing the Ria with the clear shallow waters plus the amazing bird life and flamings is something every fisher person needs to do while in the area.

A Very Merry Christmas to all our fishing fans out there!!!!! Cheers to you all indeed! 

Today is Christmas Eve and I feel so blessed that yesterday I received a last minute booking with a couple from Atlanta Georgia. Eric and Ashley got a true taste of top water Ria fishing here in the Yucatan of Mexico. A day full of action with Ashley catching the first fish while we were targeting the tarpon. 



The wind today I have to say was blowing hard, but in the Ria we get no more than a foot swell if ...

First let me say this, i am so pleased to see such clear water back in the Ria. I have fished these waters now for 4 years, and last year I was so shocked to see from December thru March, the water was dirty and cloudy and the fishing sucked! I was turning down tours because I just did not want to takes folks money when I knew the bite was dead. This was due to an abnormal increase in rain fall the late summer before that, as all our water runs underground, it pops up via springs in the mangr...
