Located 10km south of Tarponville just above the Sixiola river mouth is the "Gondoca Lagoon". Surrounded by mangroves and coconut trees, Gondoca offers another option for anglers to catch baby tarpon, snook and snapper. This can be a great option if seas are high and the tarpon fishing is slow.

Gandoca lagoon is your best chance at catching a snook for those anglers that are working on there bucket list.

While fishing the lagoon take some time to fish the ocean side along the shore casting into the current breaks and seems of the waves.
