Young tarpon of 5 to 15 pounds are what this six-angler outfit on the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula fishes for, sight-casting from pangas among the mangrove lagoons and creeks and on the turtle-grass flats of protected reserves around San Felipe and Río Lagartos, mostly within half an hour's run. Guests sleep in a waterfront hotel about three and a half hours by van from Cancún, and in summer larger migrating fish can show up.
