Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, Barracudas, Snook and Jacks... If you are looking for good flats fishing from Playa del Carmen, without a doubt, world famous Bocapaila and Ascension Bay flats are your best choice. Bocapaila lagoons are only 50 minutes from Playa del Carmen, one more hour and you will be in Ascension Bay (it's worth it) and it's world famous flats. We choose the area according to your preference or weather conditions. Ascension Bay bonefishing is the saltwater fly fishing experience at it's best: Crystal clear water flats and a great variety of different species. You can find here every fish from the Caribbean Flats.

	Bonefish, provides plenty of action year round, average size is 3- 5 pounds with some bigger ones. Bonefish 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.
	Tarpon and it's explosive jumps are always the 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.
	Light tackle fisherman will find many opportunities to catch different species and have a great day.
	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!
	If you are a beginner or if it's your first time bonefishing we will primarily target schools with small bonefish (1–2 pounds), because the school is easier to see, you can cast close to the school edge and they will compete for your flies (most times). When your eyes get use to see bonefish swimming or bonefish tailing and your casting in the wind, then the guide will work the flats positioning the wind on your back and will help you to spot the fish.
