This is what I consider the most important part on a trip, being able to breefly know who you will be spending your VALUABLE FISHING day with, rather than not knowing who will be guiding you and what to expect at your expenses, I MUST warn you that  highly communication between your guide is a must for this kind of fishing to achieve success, you do not want to end up on a boat with a guide that you can only use a 10 word path and CAN'T comunicate with because guide has poor language knowledge and have to face yourself on your own, specially WHEN the biggest fish is infront of you!!! don't know what to do OR don't understand what you need to do?? specially when you are lack of knowledge for this type of fishing, and again, all this at your expenses.

So let me tell you about me and also explain you my fishing knowledge while you surf thru the site.

My name is Capt. Rodman Hunter, I am originally from Tampa, FL, and English is my 1st. speaking language, my story goes like this,

I left Florida at the age of 2 and came to Cancun with my mother which is Mexican, I come from a shrimp fishing family that is based in Florida, Mexico and Honduras bay island, this last destination is the one I owe my entry to this type of fishing, I live in Honduras for 8 years (from 8 to 16) on a small key where 90% of our house was built on the water and with miles of white sand beaches and crystal clear waters loaded with fish on each side, so I grew up hand feeding 100-200lbs. tarpons off my dock almost every day, cause most of our house being on water, these Poons used to live under the house and could here them crashing and feeding on baits all day long, even when we were at sleep, I spent lots of time swimming with those fish on my youth and I learned what they like and don’t, on the other side, the bonefish and permit was and every day fact also, I used to wake up, look outside my window or take a walk on the dock and I would see the flats teaming with fish, huge schools of bonefish tailing and permits rooming the banks with the stingrays, and this was an unresistible call for me to run for my gear and get a rod bent and a YELLING reel, so on this type of fishing , my knowledge came on early age when I was a young boy, I started guiding people at age of 10, I am 38 years old now and haven’t stop doing it, (I believe I wouldn’t be able to do something else so good and that I like, and also too late to find out, so why do it, I better keep fishing and guiding for the rest of my life).

It means that I have over 25 years of flats fishing experience and other types also, whether you’re Flyfishing or Spinning, my job will be done with unfailing performance, I have the talent of finding fish when and where no one else can, this has been proven time and again by virtue of the fact that my boat is rarely empty of willing clients, I consistently catch fish under all types of weather conditions and have often brought to the boat some really amazing fish. I have had some outstanding catches but I don’t really believe in sacrificing a fish just for the sole of seeing your name in print, I not only teach fishing but also appreciation for our fragile environment, conservation of fish stocks, their habitat and water quality are responsibilities that all anglers must share.

I have a family now (son & daughter that I spend my time off fishing with) so I am based in Cancun most part of the year, I eventually sneak out and get hired to guide on other areas like, the Cancun surroundings (Boca Paila, Ascencion bay, Isla Blanca, and gulf coast) other countries like, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Venezuela, with all this experience I have achieve from fishing different locations and countries every year, I bring to the sport of flats fishing a vast wealth of knowledge not only in the art of catching super slams species, (Tarpon-Bonefish-Permit & Snook) and other species that inhabit the flats, but also the personality that evokes the feeling of fishing with a very good friend.

I’m well known for my patience, enthusiastic and easy going type of instructor & guide, I pride myself on being an all around type of angler, I fish with anglers of all skill levels, Pro’s, Advance, Novice, Kids and with Families, and have the exact gear and attitude to match every skill level, if necessary I’m happy to give a few pointers rather than criticism, that’s one other side you must consider, the personality of your guide, who’d want old salty on your back, barking orders at you for 8hrs. or worst, not being able to get you out of the ditch cause lack of communication and fishing techniques or knowledge specially when you’re a 1st. timer or novice in the area, and again , have to face yourself on your own, for the trip of your lifetime and not get what you have paid for.???

If you want to catch fish and have a great time with a talented guide, fisherman, teacher and friend, give me a call or send an e-mail in Cancun, where the fishing can’t get any better than this.
