I’m headed down next spring.
Any things I need to bring that I wouldn’t expect?
More importantly what can I leave behind??
I’ve been managing non fishing intl travel in moderate climates for up to 8 days with just a carry on backpack the last couple years.
Likely bringing an 8wt, 10wt and a backup 10wt, an 8 and 10 reel (no backup), fly box, PLB and my waterproof backpack.
It’s an awesome fishery. I did not fish the jacks while I was there so I’ll let someone else speak on that.
But you can catch every redfish you see on a size 2 kwan or redfish crack fly. I liked throwing brown and Black/Purple mostly. But I don’t think those fish care as long as they see the fly. Just have a few with different weights. My favorite was with a 3mm tungsten bead or mini dumbbell eye so I could float it right on the fishes nose for a good take. Put weedguards on your fly to keep it out of the grass and mangroves. Keep your fly selection simple. A well tied fly on a good day of fishing over there will last you through 20+ fish.
I wouldn’t skimp on clothes. especially depending on what part of the spring you’re talking about. The weather is bipolar to say the least. It could be cold, rainy, hot as hell, sunny, windy, and any mix of those in a 3 day stretch. Oh, and bring wading boots!
Thanks for the input!
I’m hoping to find some permit and snook. I’m not too interested in the red’s or juvi poon.
Is the crew there good at targeting specifics or do they just kinda target whatever they see?
Maybe ignore all of my advice. Did you mean Espiritu Santo Say in Mexico?
I’m thinking of the Espiritu Santo Bay in Port O’Connor Texas.
Yes MX sorry, should have been more specific
