I have to say I am so excited that our Tarpon have moved back into our fishing areas inshore here in Progreso Yucatan. After four months we are now catching them again. Yesterday I was so excited as a young 12 year boy hooked up, battled and won against a nice 15 pound tarpon, his first ever.


Progreso Fishing Tours is also very excited to welcome Jack Links Latin America as one of new full time product sponsors. Not only will we have waters and gatorades to quench your thirst but now tasty sna...

So far though this year no tarpon or snook, which is normal as we won't see them return to the Ria in masses until the early summer months thru the fall. But as you can see the Specks have been awesome. Using the light action ge...
