“I grew up in a strictly DIY fishing household. We built our own boats (wooden drift boats for the big rivers of the American West), childhood craft sessions involved Merkin crabs that looked little like the original pattern, and many of my early childhood memories happened on the water.

Along with rediscovering the simple, pure pleasure of stalking fish in brilliant tropical waters, the author reminds readers that the criteria for a world–class fishing destination include: top notch, professional guides and instruction, a great bar, excellent accommodations and attentive service. He discovered all of this and more at El Pescador.
