Isla Holbox Tarpon etc

Post by bettybarr »

We have fished 7 days for baby tarpon, first in Capeche, then Isla Holbox, Mexico. I landed my second tarpon of the trip today and Don his first. We have caught snook and barracuda. We love Holbox. Great guide who speaks some English - "Up your rod!" And taught me to haul with a heavy fly. And haul on a back cast. Wow!! Tomorrow is our last day. Oh well. Since we are retired now we are fishing in Idaho in two weeks and then Colorado late July. 8)
