Aside from quality accommodations, meals, the handling of the transfers, and the pro-staff, the real difference separating the Pez Raton Fishing Lodge from the competition are the guides.

Alex, the owner, and his team have a complete command of English.  They know Los Roques supremely well, having pioneered the fishing there from the late 80's and possess the rare ability to just add a little flavor and variety to a day.  Los Roques is famous for its small wadeable flats that offer wonderful fishing for very decent sized tailing fish and for the beach fishing where the bonefish hang off the beaches and raid the baitfish. With the flexibility to operate either the traditional pinero (panga style) boats or their Keys-type, flats skiffs, they can access water and therefore different species and types of fishing that the pinero cannot, stalking schools, pods, or singles.

In one day you can enjoy some fine, productive bonefishing to tailing fish, hook big-eye jack, land flag yellow-tail snappers and jump baby tarpon in the 10-30 lb. class as well as cast to fish in the 100 lbs (calls for rolling in deeper water but perfectly catchable) or chase permit in the deep white sand flats. On top of this, they have a small blue water boat to take guests out to fish for wahoo or tuna for an added fuel charge.  Alex is most driven by a quest for excellence.  His enterprise, which he shares with his enchanting wife, Elena, is purely a vehicle to satisfy a boiling passion for fishing.  He responds to the same in others and rallies to the cause with genuine desire.  He knows that a first-rate offering is the best way to the goal and is sensitive to his place in the big picture of world-class fishing.
