- For the Dorsal crew, most trips go wrong. Like, 99% go wrong. But in rare form, it all comes together in this nearly 2 hour adventure across Mexico. There are tarpon, bonefish, permit, jacks,--- sometimes from the beach. Sometimes from paddle boards. Sometimes all at the same time.
But looking back, embarking on a fly fishing journey across the Yucatan Peninsula with lifelong friends is a truly unforgettable adventure. The pristine waters of the Yucatan offer an angler's paradise, with its expansive flats, mangrove-lined estuaries, and hidden lagoons teeming with a variety of game fish. The camaraderie among lifelong friends adds an extra layer of joy to the experience, as shared memories and inside jokes intertwine with the pursuit of elusive catches beneath the tropical sun.
As the journey unfolds, the group navigates through the enchanting landscapes of the Yucatan, casting their lines in pursuit of coveted species like bonefish, permit, and tarpon. The fly fishing expeditions become a harmonious blend of skill, strategy, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty surrounding them. Each day brings new challenges and triumphs, whether it's stalking a tailing bonefish in shallow waters or wrestling with the powerful acrobatics of a tarpon on the line. The Yucatan's rich biodiversity provides a dynamic and rewarding playground for these passionate anglers.
That one tarpon jump right in front of the camera was such an epic shot.
Thanks, Aaron. It was such a cool opportunity and glad it turned out!
The Micro Slam! Epic
Most anglers are trying to catch the big ones... Dan's Pain lives on and we settle for speed slams haha
Great video! Inspiring fly fishing and a salute to mother nature.
Thanks, Ben! We really appreciate it.
What an epic trip!
Congratulations to you all and the guides for making such an entertaining video.
It really captures all that is great about our sport and that very special area of the Yucatán.
It sure made me wanna go!👊😎
Thanks, Nick! Really appreciate the kind words. We were definitely blessed to just take part in all of this, let alone capture it!
Nick and Pepo put you guys through the paces. You couldn't ask for better guides.
They’re absolutely the best!
So many epic tarpon jumps
And THAT is the stuff of life right??
28:20, love how the guide celebrates!!!
Right!? Pepo is THE man.
The tarpon jump in slo- mo has to be on of the best jump shots ever ! How close was the camera from that shot ? Y’all could of had a big production film crew and never got a shot like that , 👍🏼😄
Thanks Dave! The camera was definitely in the splash zone (about an hour later it ended up in the water but the footage was miraculously preserved on the cards)
And yeah- that’s the wildness of documenting the outdoors- you *never* know when the fish are going to put on a show!
This was the best saltwater fly fishing video I've ever seen, thanks guys. 👏🏼👍🏼
Just curious, what weight fly rods and lines were you using?
Really appreciate it! So glad you enjoyed the journey.
Honestly 10 weights might have been overkill, so 8-9 weights were our bread and butter. 9 weights for Ben because he babies fish on the reel… 8 weights for Dan because he absolutely horses fish in and needs some cushion 😂
@@dorsaloutdoors Thanks for your reply, it's appreciated.
Minutes 48~ anyone know where that sun hoody came from!? ☠️🌹⚡️
How was flying with the bote paddle board? I want to check my bote aero rover down.
Pretty painless! Whether you have the wheels or backpack it was super portable.
What cameras are y’all running?
For the more technical shots were on canon R5C and C70. (Rentals usually)
And then the GH6 has been really really kind to us on autofocus. And it’s super light and portable with a Vario 35-100.
Underwater shots are GoPro and …iPhone haha
@@dorsaloutdoors thanks for the info. That was an awesome film/trip. Thanks for sharing
Where did you get that dead shirt
