It was 2500 plus the airfare to Cancun which was 600.

Just barracuda, bones and permit for me. Some of the guys jumped some tarpon.

Waded most of the time, and the guides used pangas. We changed whenever
there wasn't anything happening. Also, I never shared a flat with anyone
from our camp and only once did I see a boat from Casa Blanca.

All I know is that everything was double occupancy. I don't even know if
you could go out singly. The hot fly for me was a #10 amber Bonefish
Bitter. I never missed with it. I used a 10' leaders with 8lb tippet. The
only time I ran into really spooky fish was when a barracuda was circling
me waiting for me to hook up. I made a couple 20 foot casts, but most were
between 30 and 50 feet.
