11.06.20 Cedros 2021 schedule is live

Leave a comment

About damn time right? Our release schedule is just starting to roll out for the 2021 season and Cedros Island gets to call dibs on the first release of the new season.

The 2020 season was cut short before it even got a chance to start. Fortunately the island never saw a case of COVID and they intend to keep that way. The Mexican government kept the island closed to tourism to protect the residents of the island. Though we were bummed that we couldn\’t run our trips… we completely understand.

We are expecting a different outcome in 2021. Not only do we expect to be able to run our trips to Cedros Island… we expect the fishing to be ON FIRE. The island hasn\’t been getting any pressure because it is closed… the fishing should be silly good!

We are running four (4) groups in 2021 starting in June. You just need to get to San Diego and our trip provider Cedros Kayak Fishing takes care of the rest. We are offering four (4) day and five (5) day packages.

Dates

  • 6/25/21 – 6/28/21 (4 day)
  • 6/28/21 – 7/2/21 (5 day)
  • 9/20/21 – 9/24/21 (5 day)
  • 10/15/21 – 10/18/21 (4 day)

Prices

  • 4 day – $2,100
  • 5 day – $2,500

Deposit

  • $500 due within 7 days of booking
  • $500 due by 1/15/21

If our inbox and social media dm\’s are any indication… we expect to sell out of these trips quickly. This would be great because it means people are traveling again, it means my good friend Jeff Mariani can continue the amazing work he built in Cedros and we can keep doing what we were meant to do.

So get on it! If you need a reminder, check out Rob\’s first visit to Cedros back in Oct 2019.

09.24.20 Are we giving up on international trips?

Leave a comment

The short answer is an enthusiastic HELL NO.

We along with the rest of the travel community recognize that the impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic are here to stay for quite some time… some are arguing it could bleed into 2022. Regardless of how long this lasts, we believe that the average person that likes to travel will still be cautious about jumping on a plane and heading to another country.

One of the many downsides to COVID is that we cannot predict when this will be over, thus we have to prepare ourselves for slow international travel interest and cautious travelers.

Thank goodness we live in America… the land of the free and giant fish! Though we will be slowing down our international trip development program for a couple of years, we will NOT be slowing down our domestic trip development program. In fact… we are speeding up.

Stay tuned for more US based fishing adventures.

08.05.20 Getting real about the impacts of COVID

\"\"

I write this with respect to everyone out there dealing with the impacts of COVID. As many of you already know, 2020 has been a rough year so far and we don\’t anticipate that it will get much better for quite some time.

What does that mean to Fish Village?

We have dealt with huge financial losses, major opportunities lost, disappointed customers, over 50+ refunds and nearly 100 trip cancellations. None of this compares to our friends and families that are struggling to put food on the table. Knowing people are suffering makes it hard to focus on our business.

Is Fish Village throwing in the towel? NO FREAKING WAY!

Our business is adapting to the changes and preparing for what could be a record breaking 2021 season. COVID has created opportunities to strengthen our internal processes, our technology and our internal team bonds. Though we may have had tremendous losses, we did not lose everything during the COVID pandemic, instead we took the opportunity to get better.

Fish Village will be back with the same great locations as before PLUS new domestic locations that are a road trip or short plane ride away.

Thank you for your support over the years and especially during this pandemic.
