Larry,
Thanks for the suggestions, I know some of the guides have handheld GPS, but did not think about bringing one of my own. I also thought about using some type of live bait rig with my surf set-up, I might try your ballon set-up. One year when it was too rough to get out we fished the river mouth that is in the park and did rarther well. My wife caight a couple large jacks and a nice size snook. I caught a large dog-tooth snapper. then said to Poti, "I would like to catch a snook!". Believe it or not the next fish was a smaller snook ! Poti then said to me kidding, "what do want to catch next". Well going along with joke I said, " I would like to catch one more tarpon !" this was are last day at Rio Parismina. About 15 minutes later, had had a fish hit, I had my head down tightened the drag started reel. Both my wife Linda and Poti, yelled it was a tarpon. As Fernando would say" to make a long story short" I had a heck of a time fighting a good sized tarpon in that flat bottom boat. I turned out to be about a 80lb fish . Thanks again Larry for the suggestions, looking forward to going down there !
