It is a challenge just getting somewhere, much less all the logistics, planning, transportation, lodging… I have always done it myself, sometimes it has worked out, sometimes it hasn’t.You have taken the guess work out of it. You have been to all the places that you service. You know the owners, guides, flats and little idiosyncrasies that make all the difference. Thank you. I couldn’t be happier!As for the fishing itself… The attached photo speaks for itself. Turneffe Flats is unrivaled. In two days, we caught eight permit with an average weight of over twenty lbs. The bonefish are even more plentiful, with numerous schools of 100plus fish. We caught over a dozen. And then there was the tarpon. I hooked two, each well over 100 lbs. I was outmatched.
