Fishing Vacation at Los Roques, Best Beach Vacation Spots
Los Roques is an archipelago, rising out of the deep blue Caribbean sea and consisting of approximately 100 sq miles of islands, keys and underwater mushroom like profusions, which I later discovered went by the name of pancake flats. In amongst these minnows Tarpon crashed and Bonefish cruised. This mass of life was being attacked by phalanxes of Pelicans who would dive as one into the water and re-emerge with gullets overflowing with fish, who were in turn being attacked by squadrons of Artic Turns who would hover around the Pelicans, deftly stealing any protruding minnows from their beaks.
A few attempts later I achieved the cast and almost the moment the ‘gummy’ hit the water a ‘Bone’ emerged from the bottle green water, my line tightened and the next thing I knew was the rod was bent over and the reel was in overdrive. The tussle that followed saw me holding on for dear life, taking to the water, ducking self and rod under numerous anchor ropes and winding furiously. I emerged triumphantly after a tooth and nail battle with a 5lb fish.
Most of the fishing is done by wading in ankle deep water, your eyes peeled for signs of activity above and below the water. Here, in the shallower water, the ever so subtle, protruding fin of a Bonefish replaces the crash of a diving Pelican.
To a novice fisherman you will be rewarded with a visual spectacle that guarantees to satisfy all of your faculties whilst at the same time providing enough rod-bending action and adventure to ensure you never again look at fishing in the same light again.
