Delta has long been an also-ran in our efforts to fly to Mazatlán for bass fishing trips. They’ve sometimes offered direct flights for Minneapolis fliers, but nothing for the west coast anglers. That’ll change in December when they start weekly flights between Los Angeles and Mazatlán.

There aren’t a huge number of flights from California to smaller Mexican cities like Mazatlan and Culiacan, but with this simple step you can increase your options and decrease your costs.

Alaska Air is offering a buy-one-get-one deal for a very limited time. Combined with the Anglers Inn discount for B.A.S.S. members this fall, that’ll help you and a partner save a combined $1,000+ on a trip.
