Fishing Espiritu Santo Bay is a unique experience. These flats and creeks are remote and loaded with gamefish. Bonefish, permit, tarpon, and snook are all available, making this location a top choice for pursuing a"super grand slam". The variety of fishing and the different challenges bring anglers back to this location on a regular basis, as do the experienced guides. And if you want to do some fishing on your own, you can catch bonefish, permit and jacks right off the beach in front of your room.
