Venezuela
Pez Raton Lodge
"Situated 92 miles off the coast of Venezuela, Pez Raton is a bonefishing paradise and, in many respects,
remains one of the best kept secrets in saltwater
fishing. Often thought of as the "Christmas Island of
the Caribbean" because of the predominance of wading,
good average-sized fish, and long consistent season, Pez
Raton is a world-class destination in its own
right. There is varied and interesting fishing
complemented by the prolific bird life, good
accommodation, and an unforgettable tranquil island
atmosphere..."
Posada Mediterraneo located on Gran Roque Island offers
you a personalized service tailored to your needs, in a
cozy environment, with first class service, exquisite
food, which mixes Italian quality with Caribbean flavor.
The lodge strives to make your angler vacation an
unforgettable experience with six romantic rooms, a
Mediterranean style living room, a wonderful terrace,
service to and from the neighboring islands in private
boat, complete with chairs and a gazebo on the beach.
Accommodations and meals with the Pez Raton program are
unparalleled on the island. Each room has a/c and a
personal safe.
There are over 350 cays and little islands that make up
the archipelago known as Islas Los Roques. The maximum
run is 50 minutes but there are many productive flats
within just a few minutes from the lodge. Each boat is
driven by a boatman who drops off fishing pairs with
their guide on various flats and meets them at the other
end, thus eliminating wasted time backtracking across
the flat just fished. The vast majority of the flats are
waded, stalking schools, pods, or singles, and guides
position you expertly with the wind to your maximum
advantage. There is great variety to the flats at Los
Roques - some are vast and expansive, others small and
referred to as pancakes; some are virtually spotless,
others covered in turtle grass; there are many
productive beach flats where the bonefish hang offshore
and raid the ever-present schools of baitfish; sometimes
you are in and amongst the mangroves and elsewhere you
are on a patch of sand surrounded by nothing but azure
water. Bonefish at Los Roques average 3-5 pounds and
there is a realistic expectation for fish 7-10+ pounds
all the time. |
