Fishing the Ría: A Hidden Paradise for Anglers

Welcome to the Ría of Progreso — a secret world just beyond the shoreline where crystal-clear shallows, winding mangroves, and endless sunshine set the stage for a fishing experience unlike any other. This is where calm waters meet wild adventure!

 

Picture yourself gliding across water barely three feet deep in our traditional panga, surrounded by the songs of tropical birds and the gentle hum of the motor. The air is warm, the breeze carries a hint of salt, and beneath the surface, Speckled Trout, Snook, Tarpon, and Sheep’s Head are waiting to strike. Every cast has a story, and every catch brings a rush of excitement and a big smile from Captain Richard, who celebrates your success like it’s his own.

 

The Ría is perfect for light tackle and relaxed fishing, making it a favorite for both beginners and seasoned pros. You’ll drift through the mangrove channels, spot flamingos in the distance, and maybe even hook into a feisty Tarpon that’ll test your skill and spirit.

 

This isn’t just fishing—it’s immersing yourself in the rhythm of Mexico’s coastal life. Whether you’re chasing your next big catch or simply soaking in the peace of the morning tide, fishing the Ría is the perfect blend of relaxation, excitement, and pure connection with nature.

 

So grab your hat, your sense of adventure, and let’s cast off into paradise. The fish are biting, the sun is shining, and your next great story starts right here in the Ría.
