Fantastic groups at both lodges with great representation from the fishy state of Colorado. A decent week weather-wise. Ten permit for the week, including six in one day for two lucky anglers with guide Andres “Cucho” de la Cruz, he’s on fire! Snook starting to present in greater numbers, tarpon fishing hit or miss, plenty […]
Despite some impressive visits from the Mayan Rain God ‘Chac’ this week, the fishing was quite productive, with 20 permit caught between both lodges, plenty of bones, tarpon and snook as well. Our second annual doctors group at Playa Blanca was not disappointed, nor were our veteran anglers at Casa Blanca. Weather comes with the territory, […]
A pretty special week overall, with many records set. Veteran permit hunter Joe Dudra brought home his 150th Casa Blanca permit, a beauty of a fish. Eleven year old angling prodigy Johnny Duty managed a Grand Slam and a Super Grand Slam, certainly a lodge record and possibly a world record. A close second, his […]
Opening week was nothing if not a success. Despite some intermittent storms anglers brought home 14 permit and plenty of the rest. This is always a fun week, with our annual “Palapalooza’ trip hosted by Bucking Rainbow out of Steamboat Springs staying at Playa Blanca. This group fishes hard. Lots of fishing off the beach […]
Some new faces this year to complement a group that has been coming for 20 years. A bit of a rough weather week with scattered showers and stout winds, but memories were still made. Lots of chances at permit, quite a few of them tailing, with one brought home to make for a Grand Slam, […]
A week with winds slightly above average. Eleven permit caught throughout the week, several of them firsts. One of the biggest success stories was young angler Reid M. on a father and son trip, who caught not only his first permit but also managed a grand slam in Ascension Bay with guide David. Safe to […]
A good week overall. Fairly stout winds out of the east made for challenging conditions, but anglers rallied. Fly Water Travel’s Dylan Rose managed two nice permit, among them his first. Total permit tally for the week, 7. Fishing for other species was consistent. The big bones are back in their old haunts, and tarpon […]
Excellent groups at both lodges this week and some good fishing also. Tally of 13 permit for the week and four grand slams, plus some nice tarpon and snook, and the usual numbers of bones. Found some hungry migratory tarpon, all over a hundred pounds in E. Bay. The week started off quite windy out […]
Another beautiful weather week, with winds picking up in the latter half. 17 permit in total between both lodges, quite a few of those firsts. All other species were found in plenty as well. Fishing off the dock at Casa in the evenings was on fire. We had the pleasure to host ladies at both […]
This was a week with a great mix of guests, old hands and novices alike. Ideal weather, sunny and low to medium wind strengths. Five permit brought to hand this week, lots of shots at both lodges. We had lots of firsts this week. Bill B got his first permit on the fly. Father and […]
