Iztapa Area

10 years ago
I here the fishing is the best in the world, and I was hoping to find some of the best things about this place from this wonderful forum.
Are there apartments and housing for rent as in Xela and San Cristobal, or even Antigua area's? On the beach or close by (how far? ). Shopping, markets, tourist places to visit, mission's to visit and possibly help out if I stay for 6 months or so, this keeps the boredom down and makes you feel better too.

Are there many different fishing charter options in the area, if so how many a dozen charter outfit, 25 boats, or not even that many?
Can a man make himself available to the local guys to help fill in 1/2 day charter when there's not enough people, and be able to catch some fish to share and keep for himself.

What about the bug situation down there, do I need plenty of bug-screen and mosquito nets at night?

Are there local publications I can get, and it seems the fishing is almost year round or only during the dry season?
