Best time for fishing is during the months of May,June, July, August and part of September.
October, november, december , january , february and march is the time of year when we have occasional windy cold fronts ( nortes) that make fishing on the gulf of mexico difficult . But we can fish in the protected areas of the estuary. There are a lot of small tarpon, some snook and sea trout around .
Migratory species (schooling fish) are abundant in the bay of Rio Lagartos because of the passage of current from the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean. There is a large amount of plankton and therefore species are abundant.
Migratory fish are the reason why Rio Lagartos is a world-class destination for angling.
In the low mangroves we find baby tarpon and snook throughout entire year if the weather is a good.
Beside tarpon the are also plenty of grouper, barracuda, snapper, cobia, lady fish,bonito, mackerel and jacks clavelle.
Our boats have a forward platform(deck) to make fishing easier
Our boats are specially designed for fishing and carry all the safety equipment as well as VHF radios , GPS, etc.
