A two-and-a-half-hour drive from Mérida airport brings you to Isla Arena, a fishing village on the Gulf coast of northern Campeche, where this lodge of beach cottages takes six anglers at a time. From 18-foot pangas they cast to young tarpon of about 3 to 40 pounds in mangrove lagoons and creeks and over turtle-grass flats, using 8- and 9-weight rods rigged with floating lines. Snook, snapper and barracuda turn up too.
