This auction item includes the following package for TWO anglers!
Explore the details of our incredible Baja program, where we embark on an epic fly-fishing adventure chasing Roosterfish and other bountiful species from the Sea of Cortez.
Grab your 10 wt. rod and head South of the border with the Creel Crew!
Fly into La Paz or Cabo, where our drivers are waiting to shuttle you to our stunning private villa. Located in La Ventana, the property combines comfort with great fishing opportunities, Travel Creel style. Bring your swim trunks and relax in the pool or wind down the private staircase to take a dip in the glistening Sea of Cortez.
We set out after the beautiful Pez Gallo (Rooster-fish) in the Bahia De Los Muertos, or Bay of the Dead. There are plenty of other salty critters lurking below the pangas, too… In 2024, our anglers landed over 15 different species on the fly! Grouper, Dorado, African Pompano, Yellow Fin Tuna and Marlin can show up any given day. Our head guide Juan Lucero’s family-member guide team are hands down the best captains on the East Cape. They have been fishing these waters for generations and are always excited to share this dynamic fishery with our Creel Crew.
Our chef’s prepare every meal during your stay, bringing to the mix years of sourcing the best local fish, proteins and hard to find produce. We have explored and mastered the area and found all the hidden gems. Join this Baja Blast and see what the hype around catching Roosters on the fly is all about.
Typical day on the East Cape
5:00 am - We rise early, so grab a cup, pour yourself freshly brewed coffee, take a seat on one of the patios and enjoy the morning ocean air.
5:30 am - Your continental breakfast buffet is up, make yourself a plate.
6:00 am - Load your Creel Chef-packed Yeti lunch bag with snacks from our treat table, grab your Creel provided insulated Yeti Rambler water bottle and head out front to situate your gear in our shuttles.
6:15 am - Wheels are rolling. Enjoy the sunrise on the scenic 30 minute ride to the boat ramp as we cruise around Bahia Los Muertos.
6:45 am - We meet our guide team and witness the magic of Juan Lucero’s local hierarchy in effect as we get priority to launch the boats. First stop is to buy bait, used to tease and attract our target species. Time to fish!
1:00 pm - We head back to the boat ramp once the afternoon wind rolls in or we run out of bait- these usually unfold around the same time. Trek up to the seaside bar and enjoy a round with our guide team as we share photos and compare catches.
1:30 pm - Shuttles are ready to head out, but if you haven’t had your fill of fishing for the day quite yet, we can head to Lighthouse Beach. Any takers will walk and look for opportunities to catch fish within the waves.
2:00 pm - Back at the lodge, rinse the salt off your gear and pour a cocktail or crack open a cerveza. Bring it with you down to take a soak in the pool, perfect use of the swim up bar. Unwind and freshen up.
5:30 pm - Your Creel Chef covers the counter with appetizers, top off your cocktail and take a seat on the upper patio.
6:00 pm - Settle in for dinner served Creel-family-style. There is never a dull moment for your taste buds on any of our trips.
Once you’ve had your fill, take in the last bits of sun as you watch it set while walking the backyard beach, or enjoy a cigar and shot of tequila from the hammock. Bring the tequila buzz to bed or hit it a little harder- the choice is yours. But remember, the day begins early, but no judgment if it also starts with a rebound tequila shot.
Life in Baja is Muy Tranquillo…..
