This was my first experience fly fishing in salt water.  Alex made me the process easy throughout.  He was very responsive in the lead up to the trip, including details about what we would target and what flies we would use. 

We did motor on the boat from the coleta up to the north end of the island, where he brought us to some grass flats near mangroves, where we were targeting juvenile tarpon.  While we did not catch any there, we had a couple shots.  Alex then brought us to some sand flats, where we had so many shots to cast to bonefish, easily visible from the elevated front portion of his boat.  We saw bone fish cruising through in groups from 2 - 6.  I missed several opportunities, but caught one on the fly and hooked up another but broke it off, due to inexperience.  We also saw barracuda and a couple permit.  Alex was well prepared and offered good advice for a novice fly fisherman. I could have caught more fish with a bit more experience.

This was our second trip with Alex. The mangroves are a beautiful spot even if you’re not fishing. i caught a bonefish and Darren was over the moon with his barracuda

Alex was friendly and personable. A pleasure to being in the boat with.
Alex has an unbelievable ability to spot fish and actually see the fish take the fly. i wait to feel the take and then set the hook. Alex would set a hook when he sees the take, well before I would.
would do it again nexttime in Cozumel.
