Hassle Free Fishing on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula
Tom Martin, President, Pesca Mexicana
During my 36+ year
career in banking, I worked for several of the largest banks in the United
States. As a corporate officer, one of my responsibilities or duties if you
prefer, was client entertainment. I know what you're thinking, it's a dirty job
but somebody has to do it. Since I don't play golf and hunting is very
seasonal, fishing seemed to fill the ticket and who doesn't like to fish. Even
clients that were marginal fishers enjoyed the excitement of getting away from
their usual grind, visit unusual places and have the chance to trade ideas with
other executives in a relaxed setting. You could feel their excitement and
bonding.
Like most businesses, banks have plenty of competition. As
margins are squeezed, the bean counters look at ways to reduce expenses and
entertainment eventually works its way under the division manager's microscope.
Not wanting to give up my quarterly fishing trips, I looked for ways to reduce
expenses and I was surprised at what I found. I discovered that I could take
three clients fishing on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula cheaper than I could
entertain them at home on the Texas Gulf Coast. A normal fishing trip to the
Texas coast cost my company approximately $1,000 a day per person. I discovered
I could take the same number of clients to the Yucatan for a lot less and get
three times the "PR". Imagine the impact when my clients told their friends and
associates that their banker took them to Mexico fishing. Yes, that price
includes airfare, food, lodging, auto rental and guides. The only downside was
booking the "right" guide service. It was a hit and miss proposition. My wife
and I spent all of our spare time in the Yucatan and as time passed, I started
thinking about the Yucatan and operating a fishing guide service that knew how
to take care of clients. All that was left was to pick a suitable location.
After several more years of fishing (research), Cozumel, a 35 minute ferry ride
from Playa del Carmen became the obvious choice. Cozumel offers easy access
from the mainland, has a world of amenities and the flats fishing is fantastic.
The rest is history.

Tom;
I just wanted to let you know that I
really enjoyed my day with Alfredo. He and Tuza were both very polite and
helpful. Alfredo worked his tail off putting my friend and I on fish but we
kept messing up and doing everything we could to not catch them. I finally
caught my first coupe of bonefish on fly about the middle of the day. My buddy
switched to the spinning outfit and caught a bunch of fish but no bones. He
doesn't fish much and felt bad about missing so many opportunities. Anyway, I
just wanted you to know that we had a great time and will do it again when back
in Cozumel.
