It starts with a bet….

“We need to figure out who we are inviting to the East Cape for Hens & Roosters Week 2026.” -Samantha

“Who are you thinking we should offer spots to?” -Joshua

“The ladies absolutely killed it last year, it was a solid roster.” -Samantha

“Well, if I had thought of it that way… I wasn’t choosing based on a competition.” -Joshua

“Neither did I. But honestly, I can build a better roster of female anglers than any group of guys you would invite, anyway. ANY DAY.” -Samantha

“Hahahahah!” -Joshua

“What, you think you can do better? Do you want to, uh…. Bet?” -Samantha

“Game. On.” -Joshua

The rest is history. . .

In the making!

We want YOU to be a part of it!!

Save the date!

Scroll on for all the details!

    • Ladies, you’re slated to join Samantha’s Hen House. Get ready to strip your way to the top… Of the leaderboard.

    • Gents, you’re being drafted to Joshua’s Rooster Roster. Do you have what it takes to mount…. The trophy on your mantel?

    • You really should get your mind out of the gutter. . . .

    Experience Travel Creel’s Hens & Rooster’s Week like never before- with a healthy serving of friendly competition.

    If you’re left thinking, wow, this would make for a great film…. So are we. The story writes itself.

    That’s precisely what we are going to do, and you’re all a really meaningful part of it.

    • We will all participate in a series of daily and overall trip challenges that put us ALL to the test.

    • The main goal, though, is to HAVE FUN!

    • Arrive in Baja via your choice of either La Paz International Airport (LAP) or Los Cabos International Airport (SJD). La Paz is 45 minutes from the lodge, while the Cabo airport is about 2.5 hours away. Samantha is happy to assist with choosing flights!

    • Our shuttle drivers pick you up, and drive you to our lodge.

    • The main lodge is our headquarters, a spacious beachfront property along Bahia de Los Muertos, The Bay of the Dead. Features include cliff-side hammocks, a large pool with a swim-up bar, and more!

    • Your accommodations for 5 nights are set in tranquil La Ventana. We take you all out to enjoy dinner at a local restaurant or our favorite taco truck most nights. Lodging, plus all meals are included for each angler.

    • Each of you will fish 4 days with our expert guide team, headed up by Juan Lucero. Truly the best guide team in all of Baja!

    • Your hosts, Joshua and Samantha Schwartz, will fish 3 days along with their teammates, and then spend the final day preparing for the end of trip BBQ.

    • Our final night together starts with us heading right down the road from the lodge, where our guide team meets us for a group photo at the La Ventana sign.

    • The entire Lucero guide crew and their families then join us at the lodge for a truly E-P-I-C fiesta, featuring a fantastic local band.

    • It’s not the main point of the trip. Period.

    • Normally, we charge a nominal fee that covers the majority of our costs for each spot on the trip. We don’t make money on our industry week. That’s not the point.

    • We do this trip in order to spotlight this incredible fishery, for other industry individuals to enjoy it, and to have fun.

    • You’ve been chosen because we know you will share about your experience while on this slightly modified Creel adventure with your friends, followers and clients. Plus we want to fish with you, and know you’ll be an asset to the team! Or maybe you’ll just be really fun to hang out with. . . . Probably all of the above.

    • On that note, we pay commission for referrals, ask us for more details!

    • We have created special sponsorship options that allow our expenses to be taken care of, and has some additional perks to offer, as well…. More info on that below.

    • We handle them all. Just like each of our programs.

    • You show up, we take care of the rest. We pick you up on arrival, and we get you back to their airport on time for your flight home.

    • From a pitch deck to share info on the project and trip with whoever you have in mind as your potential sponsor, to an exclusive hand-tied fly series and a thorough trip planner- we have you covered.

    • We’ve come up with some creative ways for your sponsors to get involved, and earn named credits in the film for being a part of it.

    • It’s just SO. MUCH. FUN!
