Saltwater Fishing 2017 Featuring Flats and Bluewater Destinations Worldwide
We Share Your Passion
We Share Your Passion
FOR CLOSE TO 50 YEARS we’ve been sending our clients to destinations around the globe. Saltwater fishing is something we’ve been passionate about for a very long time. Here are a couple of things to consider when choosing who you want to help book your next fishing adventure: Frontiers visited and fished the Bahamas back when there was only one dedicated bonefishing lodge…one. Since then we’ve partnered with literally dozens of the most professional lodges and outfitters. Not all are created equal, and nowhere else do anglers have such a wide array of choices when it comes to accommodations, style of fishing, food, amenities, and nonfishing activities. We’ve been to most and are happy to help you sort through the options to meet your trip objectives, whether you’re planning a brief weekend getaway, a top-tier honeymoon, or a no-frills guys fishing trip. Frontiers pioneered the fishing on Christmas Island in the Central Pacific back in the mid-1970s. Alongside some of the world’s most famous saltwater anglers like Lefty Kreh and Rick Ruoff, our founders Michael and Susie Fitzgerald were some of the first to ever set foot on the famed flats of Paris, Korean Wreck, and 7-Mile. Today, with the help of very reliable air service, Christmas Island is regaining its rightful place among the top bonefish destinations on the planet. Few places offer both novice and experienced fly fishermen the chance to catch both great numbers of bones and trophy-sized fish, all while enjoying a wade fishing experience like no other. To top it off we have access to some really special bonefish guides in Hawaii who can make your Pacific fishing vacation last a little longer.
It’s All About the Experience
Trust Frontiers to put you in the right place for your next saltwater fishing trip.
Frontiers brought the Seychelles to the forefront for flats enthusiasts back in 1999. We lived aboard a catamaran and fished the virgin waters of the St. François Lagoon for weeks while the lodge was being completed on Alphonse Island. For those who have fished there, imagine what it was like before anyone else tossed a fly into those azure-blue waters. As a fishing resource the Seychelles is still about as wild a destination as it was back then, but now, comfort, great cuisine, and access to a myriad of fishing operations has made it a new ball game altogether. A trip to the Seychelles is truly a trip to the next great place, so if you haven’t been there yet, you need to go. Frontiers has been the most trusted name in sporting travel for nearly 50 years. Let us show you what we’ve learned in our lifetime. n

Delphi Club Perfect Destination on Abaco Island, Bahamas, for Anglers, Couples, Families Delphi Club entered the bonefishing scene around 2010 and has become a preeminent destination for anglers seeking a private setting with luxury amenities paired with one of the finest bonefish resources in the Bahamas. The Marls is an expansive flats region located only 10 minutes from the club, which sits atop a bluff overlooking a sprawling whitesand beach and offers nonfishing activities such as guided or DIY birding, snorkeling, diving, golf, beaches, shelling, shopping in town, or simply lounging poolside. If you’re looking to introduce someone to bonefishing, Delphi is the place. Fishing: With more than 40 square miles to choose from, Delphi’s guides rarely encounter another skiff during a day of fishing in the Marls. This is a target-rich environment with fish averaging 2–3 pounds and plenty of bigger fish around. The Marls flats are a great place to get started as an angler. Accommodation: Delphi offers eight queen-bed guest rooms, each with a veranda overlooking the Atlantic. Meals are a highlight of the stay, particularly dinners, which are chef-prepared five-course delights. There is an infinity pool, a spacious sitting room and a library to enjoy after a day on the water. Rates: October–July rates: 5 nights / 4 days $4,100 per person for double occupancy / shared guide.

Bairs Lodge Beachfront Comfort on South Andros Between Deep and Middle Creek Suitable for up to 12 anglers, this plantation-style lodge is situated fronting the Atlantic and complete with all paradise essentials: white-sand beach, palm trees, beach fire pit, plus guests have access to their flats skiff just steps from their room. Tidal creeks abound on this section of Andros, providing water pathways to access the famous west side of the island; they also offer protection from winds and create fertile, bait-rich environments that bonefish love. Some of Andros’ longest-tenured guides work here, making a day on the water productive and an enjoyable learning experience. Fishing: The bulk of fishing here is done from the bow of 16-foot flats skiffs, with occasional opportunities to wade hard white-sand bottoms. Fish average close to 4 pounds, and many fish over 10 pounds are landed every month of the season. Andros is Andros after all, so expect to find big bonefish. Accommodation: Nicely appointed waterfront rooms feature air-conditioning, ceiling fans, en suite bathrooms and plenty of room to store fishing gear and clothes. Cuisine is decidedly gourmet; lobster, fresh conch, locally caught fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables are the norm.

Excellent cuisine, spacious single-occupancy rooms with waterfront porches, open bar, satellite TV, a fire pit and a dipping pool all welcome anglers back from a hard day of fishing.

You’ll fish the famed Marls: 40 square miles of bonefish nirvana, a true target-rich environment that will keep both novices and advanced anglers happy. Fishing: The Marls is best known for its prolific numbers of bonefish, but don’t be fooled. There are plenty of opportunities to cast to fish exceeding 5 pounds during the course of a day’s fishing. All fishing is done from the bow of a skiff due to the soft bottom that gives the area its name. Accommodation: Single accommodations are the rule rather than the exception, and visiting fishermen do not pay a premium for the privacy.

Terrific offshore fly fishing for dorado and tuna are other seasonal options, and beginners enjoy the larger schools of more forgiving, smaller bonefish. H2O also appeals to the nonangler with access to scuba diving, snorkeling, beaches, a pool, casinos and shopping. The new Bones Bar, with reserved seating for H2O guests, is the go-to venue for off-water camaraderie.

IN THE WORLD OF FLY FISHING THERE IS NO OTHER DESTINATION THAT INSPIRES SUCH AWE.
Mere mention of the name draws glances and interrupts the train of thought of those nearby. The Seychelles offers fantastic access to bonefish. Those who have fished there had never thought so many could be caught in a day or over the course of a week. Most people now consider bonefish in the Seychelles a secondary quarry when compared to the tackle-destroying giant trevally, milkfish, triggerfish and the myriad of other fly rod targets. It’s a seemingly endless menu of what to turn your attention to next.

Adventure Awaits: World-Class Tarpon Fishing on the Island Time Forgot Visiting Isla Holbox is like taking a step back in time. There are no megaresorts, no cars or paved roads; walking or taking a golf cart is the main method of transportation. In addition to this oldfashioned charm, excellent restaurants, a wonderful beach and a variety of activities make Isla Holbox a great destination for any traveler. However, it’s the tarpon fishing that entices anglers to Isla Holbox with both large migratory fish that begin to show up in late May and the smaller resident baby tarpon available year-round.

Casa Blanca Lodge has received rave reviews from anglers since it opened more than 20 years ago. It is located on the island of Punta Pájaros within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, and guides have access to both Ascension Bay and the Santa Rosa Lagoon.

Thirty minutes south of its sister lodge, Casa Blanca, Playa Blanca Lodge provides supreme access to Espiritu Santo Bay.

Playa Blanca was originally opened as an ecolodge, but anglers quickly discovered its excellent fishing, so the lodge is now almost completely booked by anglers. Picture blue sky, white sand and turquoise-blue water—all awaiting your arrival. n

Lance Peterson began exploring the Baja Peninsula in 1995. By 2000 he was guiding fly fishermen on the East Cape and his specialty became readily apparent: roosterfish. In subsequent years he developed flies and techniques that have resulted in four IGFA world records including three record roosterfish taken sight casting from the beach. A Federation of Fly Fishers–certified instructor since 2003, Lance is a patient instructor and a passionate angler, and his enthusiasm for Baja is contagious. Jeff deBrown, owner of The Reel Baja, has dedicated his life and career to fly fishing as an outfitter and guide. Having guided all over the world – Jeff finally found home on the East Cape of Mexico. An FFF-certified Casting Instructor, Jeff knows the importance of excellent customer service and support, whether introducing newcomers to the sport or helping veterans improve their cast. Nothing makes Jeff happier than guiding anglers on the unspoiled resource of the East Cape of Mexico.

Baby Tarpon Fishing in the Historic City of Campeche Hosted By: Bob Artzberger June 6–11, 2017
Aboard the liveaboard barge Hannibal, you’ll be treated to a unique saltwater fishing adventure in a truly exotic landscape of pristine ocean waters and lush tropical islands that could well exceed anything you have ever imagined.
Located on the western side of the Yucatan, Campeche Tarpon Bay is a world-renowned fishery that keeps client coming back year after year. Spend four full days chasing baby tarpon in the mangrove-lined creeks, channels and lagoons along with the open-water bays of the Los Petenes Biosphere Reserve. Schools of tarpon in the 5-30 pound range are often found and are very willing to eat a well-presented fly.
The end of January is probably best for those wanting a “species-diverse” experience. Black marlin, sailfish, roosterfish, all types of snapper, amberjack, jack crevalle, pompano, some yellowfin tuna, some dorado, snook, bonefish? Yes, on occasion. We expect that over the course of five days of fishing our group will land upwards of 20 different species. n
Evenings are spent at the seafront Ocean View Hotel, conveniently located near the fishing dock and restaurants, and a short walk to Old Town Campeche. After fishing you can enjoy a refreshing swim in their pool before heading out on the town for good food and cold drinks. n
