permit fishing Ascension Bay  

If you are looking for good flats fishing in Tulum, without a doubt, Ascension Bay and Bocapaila lagoons are your best choice. The world famous Ascension Bay flats are only 60 minutes south of Tulum, in the heart of the Sian Ka'an biosphere. We choose the fishing area according to your preference or weather conditions. 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 or small bonefish, either with spinning rods or handlines for kids younger than 6 years. They will love the action! We will try bottom fishing and spot fishing near the mangroves. A day that you wont forget.


flats fishing bonefish If you are a beginner or if it’s your first time flyfishing, 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 used 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. Barracudas, Snappers and Jacks complement the menu.

Wind protection is one of the great advantages of this area. Unlike Bahamas , here we can fish for bonefish 365 days of the year. Of course in Tulum and all the Yucatan Peninsula we get very windy days, from South East, East and North, but we can always find protected flats or lagoons where we can see and cast at bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook, jacks, barracudas, Spanish mackerels, and other species.
