Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 12:03AM Jon Covich just returned from his first trip to Los Roques and was kind enough to share some words and photos that will have you adding yet another destination to your bucket list.
Man, I have always wanted to go to Los Roques! Finally, it happened last week. If you don’t know, Los Roques is an archipelago of islands off the coast of Venezuela. Visitors take a 30 minute commuter flight to the largest of the islands from Caracas.
Most of the people who live on the island are there for two reasons: tourists and fish. In some cases both. The island has a multitude of very quant Posadas (small Hotels). We stayed at Posada Acuarela.
One of the best things about fishing at Los Roques, is that almost all of it is done while wading. Very famous are the Pancake Flats, which are numerous and full of tailing and finning schools of bones. They are, however, nearly impossible to see unless you have native eyes.
To say that there is a lot of bait around Los Roques is a magnificent understatement. In fact, I have never seen so many baitfish, with everything feeding on them. We found Tarpon in bays and in the open water, Jacks and Blue Runners in abundance, and birds galore crashing these fish. 
Look closely to the left of the Pelican. Ever see a Bonefish taking baitfish from a bird’s beak?
And yes, the Bonefish here eat baitfish like crazy. Gummy Minnows are the fly of choice while wading long beaches.
To add to the diversity of the flats, we fished islands and back bays. One of the most interesting was home to a lobsterman’s village, full of beautiful wooden boats, and bonefish and tarpon alike in the flats and bays.
Note the poster of Hugo Chavez on the back wall.
While I was having drinks after dinner one evening, another guest asked me how Los Roques compared to other Bonefish destinations around the world. I told them about Christmas Island, and about the Bahamas. But I also said that I had never been to any Bonefish destination like Los Roques. I loved the diversity of the fishing. The size of the Bonefish was above average, with many fish caught in the 5-7 pound range. And, guests return after fishing to a beautiful Posada and village rather than a lodge where they mix only with the group they traveled with.
I will return.

Just got back from the 5th annual Baja Chum Trip with Pursuit Anglers and Frigate Adventure Travel. As always, it was beyond awesome. The beach Grandes were more gracious than ever. Full report to follow.
In the meantime, here's a pic of Zach Sutton's rooster - which ironically qualifies for May submission.

The latest from K8 and Crump.
April belongs to us. It’s our month; escaping the Northwest rains, diving head on into the sunshine of Baja, and burning our pale white skin. Together we fish, devour tacos, and wash it all down with ice cold micheladas. For the unitiated, micheladas are the drink of choice here in Baja. A fresh key lime squeezed into a frosty glass filled with ice, clamato, spices, and topped with Pacifico beer….refreshing AND good for you.
