There are no finer accommodations than the Casa Blanca Lodge on Ascension Bay located on Mexico's world-renowned Yucatan Peninsula, but that is not why anglers return time and again. The shallow waters hardly conceal four species of coveted sport fish: Permit, Bonefish, Snook, and Tarpon. There are few places in the world where an angler can be challenged by all these fish on the same day.
Anglers will enjoy battling Bonefish, Snook and Tarpon at Casa Blanca, but the Permit are what will bring them back time and again.
Considered by many to be the ultimate flats fish, Permit test all an angler's skills and are known for being elusive and difficult to fool.
Permit forage on the bottom in the same waters as Bonefish amid reefs, pilings and other submerged sources of cover and will often only allow a single cast -- so make it count. Indigenous to the western Atlantic, Permit use any and all cover they can find and cover great distances every day. But when they venture into the flats, the passing opportunity to hook into one is brief. Permit will test your skills as an angler and your equipment, as they are notoriously finicky about what they will eat.
