reevesr1 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Some shots from the recent trip my wife and I took to Huatulco, Mexico: Bonita on the fly rod! Jackie's Bonita And another: Eating our catch! Day 2, leaving the resort: Our guide, Elias, with a tigerfish Can't remember what this was called, but I caught several: A little jack, really fun to catch! Elias had to get a bigger one for "mama" Another tiger. We caught a pile of these also, along with some smaller grouper. Elias and I both hooked big grouper, but got cut off in the rocks both times! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuayThaiFlyGuy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Awsome! My wife and I and another couple spent a whole day with Elias. He took us fishing, snorkeling, to secluded beaches, he even caught a sea turtle with his bare hands! Quick pic and let it go! I watched him spear an octopus too. Nice fish I will be taking my fly gear next time down there! Reccomend Elias to anyone who heads down that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 He's awesome. I've fished with him like 4 times now. He has a couple of my rods and reels. I traded him a 8 wt TFO and a Akuma (I think) reel for a trip two years ago and gave him an old (but trusty) Shimano Chronarch SF100 for a tip this year. I have a couple of them and really never use them any more except when I go to Texas, so it felt really good to see it go to a place where it will be well used and appreciated! He told my wife it was like getting a Christmas present. Most of the pictures of fishing around the rocks was a trip he brought me out on to show him how to adjust the casting controls, etc on the reel. We had a "Mexico vs America" fish off! After that day, Elias and his wife went into town and bought my wife a nice present, and I got some 100 yr old Tequila. He is an fantastic guy, great fisherman, always smiling. I agree Muay-I could not recommend him more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinglibin Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Rick do you have contact info available? Curious about his rates. If you do not mind feel free to PM me. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I pm'd, but here is Elias's contact info: 958-587-8610. If you google Elias Vasquez fishing you will see a bunch of Trip adivsor and other reviews. If anyone uses him, tell him "El Pescadoro Ricardito" says hello and ask how the Shimano Chronarch (gold bait casting reel) is working for him. Reading the above has me all nostalgic.

reevesr1 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Here is a Trip Advisor review for Elias from last year: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g150789-d1937950-r338189863-Huatulco_Activities-Huatulco_Southern_Mexico.html His cell number is in the review.

reevesr1 Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 I gave him an 8 wt a few years ago, but don't know if he would still have it. I'd bring my own anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portage2forage Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I am headed to Huatulco in a few weeks to fish with a guide. @reevesr1any advice? I am thinking of bringing my 7 wt/9 ft and 7wt//11’6” to fish with the guide and also try fishing from shore. Wondering if this will be worthwhile and if so what type of line, flies and gear I should bring. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
