Mag Bay, Mexico: Marlin & Roosterfish on the Fly
Join us November 17th-24th, 2023
This is a trip that is almost impossible to describe and feel like you've done it justice. This has to be the most visual, fast paced, exciting, adrenaline packed fishing trip out there! You're sight fishing to striped marlin on bait balls of mackerel and sardines that migrate through the area from October through December. Its a very short season, but it makes up for it with how much punch it packs in a such a short time frame. There's NO trolling, NO bait and switch, its all sight fishing to free swimming marlin that are on these naturally occurring migrating balls of bait. Birds are diving, seals circle grabbing ever fish they can, and then you see marlin are blowing up through the balled up schools of bait! If that doesn't get your hear rate going, I'm not sure what will, other than having one of these lit of 7' long fish with a sword on its face chase your fly to the tip of your rod boatside!
