July 2024 Client Trip Recap: Campeche Tarpon

July 16, 24

A glowing testimonial from Yellow Dog client Joseph H. about his time with Campeche Tarpon -- Read his comments below: 

Did you find the trip booking process through Yellow Dog enjoyable and useful? If not, please share why.
- Yes. The website is top quality. Lots of helpful information and easy to navigate.

Did the lodging (rooms, dining area, social area, etc) match what you were expecting? If not, please provide additional comments or constructive feedback.
- Yes. Great service all around.

Did the food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) match what you were expecting? If not, please provide additional comments or constructive feedback.
- Yes. Campeche has wonderful restaurants. Gourmet food at very reasonable prices. Guide had lunch, and lots of water and Pedialyte in cooler. Drink a lot of water.


Do you have any comments or constructive feedback based on the service, friendliness, etc of the lodge staff?
- The trip's host Alex "Pa Chin" Hernandez was the best. Picked me up at airport. Drives me to hotel and helps with the check in process. Meets me for breakfast and drives me to marina every morning. Recommended excellent restaurants for dinner. Outstanding service.

Were you pleased with your guide(s) customer service, communication skills, professionalism, work ethic, and general fishing knowledge? If not, please share why.
- Yes. We had a meeting on the dock every morning to discuss the day's game plan. Sometimes we fished for numbers, sometimes bigger fish and even a day for top water flies. Incredible variety of fishing habitats and techniques. Guide will put you on fish until your hand cramps.

What key piece(s) of gear, tackle, flies, soft goods, etc. made your trip successful?
- 8 Weight fly rod. Floating warm water fly line. Flys recommended by Yellow Dog. Guide takes care of the leader set up.

What piece(s) of equipment would you not leave home without for this trip?
- Sunscreen, hoody, hat, sunglasses.

Would you return to this destination? Please share why or why not.
- Yes. Complete Tarpon fishing experience. You can fish for numbers in the mangroves and lagoons or go hunting for bigger fish, cruising in schools. We did top water flies and streamers. The mangrove forests are spectacular. It's like stepping back in time. No houses, people or boats, just mangroves, water and fish. I loved it.
