Bonefish provides plenty of action year round, average size is 3- 5 pounds with some bigger ones. They seem to be the first on most angler's must-catch-list. And this is right. Bonefish are abundant, they are opportunistic feeders looking for an easy meal.

Smart and beautiful Permit is the ultimate fly fishing challenge, year round available in Ascension Bay. Our guides are specialists in finding them.

Playa del Carmen Fishing for Tarpon Caleb and Wilbert snook fishing
Tarpon and it's explosive jumps are always the utmost excitement, August through December are the best months.

Snook is strong and fun, aggressive when attacking the fly, unlike bonefish, permit or tarpon. When fishing flats for bones, we'll move toward shore or close to mangrove roots to see if any snook are hanging out, waiting for a meal! Best time for snook is December through March.

Barracudas: While many trolling anglers don't get excited with barracudas, in the flats they are a very fun fish to catch, you sight see them, cast with special leader, fast strip, amazing speed and taking, jumps and good fight make them a very fun game.

Family fishing trips are available with our kids' program, we focus on snappers, either with spinning rods for 6 or older or hand line for younger kids. They will love the action. We will  try bottom fishing and spot fishing near the mangroves. A day that you won't forget!
