trip description for Tabasco Snook & Tarpon Special in Frontera

For anglers who want to venture off-the-grid and gain access to incredible baby tarpon fishing Captain Paco's Fly fishing trips in Tabasco, Mexico offer just that! This is the antithesis of the all-inclusive Mexican resort experience, one that doesn't sacrifice quality for cheesy amenities and instead provides the "real" authentic Mexico experience! Run by Mexican fishing pioneers, Paco and his son, Paco Jr. the fishing program is focused more on the fly fishing, authentic food, and full cultural emersion. While other resorts may provide assorted amenities they struggle to provide the results on the water. Fishing down in Tabasco dramatically increases your chances of catching more and bigger fish. Whether you choose to target the abounding Baby Tarpon population, or switch gears to chase giant snook, or switch gears again to target one of the many other species the area has to offer, Captain Paco will ensure you do not miss! Whether you decide to stay for 3, 4, or 5 full days, you will be staying at Hotel Mar Mor, located in Frontera. The hotel is not the Hyatt and is a bit rough around the edges but you are only 10 minutes from the dock where you meet the guides and boats, this hotel is an excellent choice for the traveling angler, it has a quiet atmosphere and has a staff that will personalize at all times. Between the Hotel and Captain Paco they will provide all the meals for your adventure: Breakfast: at Cafe del Puerto includes coffee, fresh fruit, juice and pastry. Lunch: on the boat you will find a cooler with beer, soda, water and a delicious gourmet lunch. Dinner: Menu at the hotel includes fresh fish and seafood, steak, pasta, chicken and many national dishes. The Camp is located between the states of Veracruz and Campeche along the Gulf of Mexico, the State of Tabasco is known for its wide rivers, deep lagoons and as a headquarters for Mexico’s oil industry. Tabasco attracts few foreign tourists, despite offering all the modern amenities you'd expect in its capital city of Villahermosa, and a fascinating array of cultural attractions and outdoor pursuits. It has enjoyed anonymity as a tourist destination, yet has set in place a number of programs and facilities to begin hosting visitors like never before. The state is known for its high levels of humidity and the wetlands and intense tropical greenery that result. Several large rivers (including the mighty Usumacinta and Grijalva) drain from nearby mountains and tropical jungle into the Gulf of Mexico. Flat coastal plains give way to undulating foothills that eventually rise to become the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountain range. Lagoons, estuaries and marshes dominate the landscape. In fact, during the peak of the rainy season (September-October), nearly half the state is covered by water! Not surprisingly, Tabasco is home to over 2,200 plant species, some fabulous eco parks, and one of Mexico’s most delightfully untamed biosphere reserves. Tabasco’s 190 kilometers of coastline has no resort development, but boasts several charming seaside villages spread along estuaries, salt marshes and lagoons – worth a visit if you've a taste for the rustic rather than the all-inclusive. Some of Tabasco's many inland attractions include stunning archaeological sites, sprawling cacao plantations, quaint colonial towns, and the revitalized state capital city of Villahermosa. Read More

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Ariel and Alexis were amazing captains. Ariel is completely bilingual and has so much experience fishing for 17 years in PV but also all over the world. He was super adaptive — he worked with us to do a lot of different types of fishing (we trolled, we jigged) and all in we caught almost 40 fish with just two of us!! He also gave us an opportunity to add on a trip to Yelapa where they cooked our fresh fish, and it was not only delicious but such a unique experience. Ariel was super communicative and flexible, too. Would highly highly recommend Ariel to anyone who wants to catch a lot of fish, learn about the area and have an amazing time out on the water.

    Elizabeth C. with Ariel R. of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco

  • ★★★★★
    Awesome inshore/nearshore trip. Great action and a wide arrange of species. Captain and crew did an amazing job at getting me on fish and walking me through techniques. Highly recommend this trip.

    Michael R. with Travis S. of Cancún, Quintana Roo

  • ★★★★★
    I’ve always wanted to catch a tarpon on the fly. It’s been on my bucket list for years, so when we planned our trip to Cancun, I look for an opportunity after booking the trip I was obviously excited to get the chance to fill one of the things on my bucket list, however, when I didn’t plan on, was getting very sick, just a few hours before Orlando, my guide was picking me up. As bad as I felt, I went and waited in the lobby for him to arrive. He had to go through a lot of trouble to get through security, but when I met him, he was all smiles. As we rode through the city to his boat I didn’t say a word, because I felt so ill, and after loading the boat and headed out under the water, it was only a matter of moments before he put me on fish, in my weakened state, I could barely throw the fly. However, he kept pointing out fish after fish, and after a few times resting, I finally filled that bucket list. Orlando was so patient with me and very generous. Not only was he an excellent guide he was a very, very good guy. I hope one day I can go back and fish with him again when I feel better Orlando worked very hard to get me on fish , and if I felt better, I’m sure I would’ve caught several more. We did catch more than that one but because I was so sick I laid in the bottom of the boat mostly. It wouldn’t have mattered if we didn’t catch fish I think I would’ve enjoyed spending the time on the water with Orlando. he genuinely wants you to catch fish. In my second state, he couldn’t tell how excited I was but I could sure tell how excited he was. Thanks again Orlando!! Tight lines!!!

    Matthew O. with Orlando M. of Cancún, Quintana Roo

  • ★★★★★
    I highly recommend Orlando. The communication before the trip was great and he went the extra miles (literally) to pick me and drop me off at my hotel so I didn't have to mess around with early morning taxi or Uber. Fishing was tough but we got some baby tarpon on fly and when conditions weren't suitable for fly rod we switches to spinning rod and caught more. Also got to see some remote backwater and the resident crocodiles. Made you think twice before putting hand in water to retrieve a snagged fly!
