Seasonal Fishing
Calendar
Cooler and generally dry conditions with occasional cold fronts moving through the Yucatán. Permit and Bonefish fishing remain productive, though wind can accompany passing fronts. Resident Tarpon are available but can be less consistent during extended cool periods.
One of the most consistent fishing windows of the year. Stable spring weather and warming water bring excellent opportunities for Permit and Bonefish. Migratory Tarpon begin arriving in the bay toward the end of this period.
Peak migratory Tarpon season with large fish moving through Ascension Bay and nearby channels. Permit and Bonefish remain readily available across the flats. Warm weather and occasional afternoon showers are common.
Productive fall fishing with fewer anglers on the water. Early fall can still offer shots at migratory Tarpon before they taper off. Permit and Bonefish fishing remains strong, though this period overlaps with the Caribbean hurricane season.

8-Day Itinerary
Each day is carefully planned to maximize your fishing success while experiencing the best of what this destination has to offer. Itineraries are flexible based on conditions and guest preferences.
A week-long trip at The Palometa Club typically runs from Saturday to Saturday. Getting to the lodge begins with a Saturday flight to Cancun, Mexico (CUN). Once you've arrived in Cancun, a Palometa Club representative will drive you approximately 2 hours to Ultima Maya, where you will board a 90-minute boat transfer to the lodge.
Fishing days start with a full breakfast before heading out with your guide for the day. Lunch is typically served on the water, allowing you to rejuvenate and rehydrate. Following an afternoon fishing session, you'll return to the lodge to unwind and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal. After dinner, enjoy cocktails and stories at the bar, throw a game of cornhole, or retire early.
After your week of fishing, you'll enjoy breakfast on Saturday morning before beginning your 90-minute boat transfer back to Ultima Maya, where a Palometa Club representative will drive you 2 hours back to Cancun. Once you've arrived in Cancun, you'll board your flight to your home destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
GET IN TOUCHThe Palometa Club offers something for everyone, from Bonefish for beginners to Permit for advanced anglers. To target Permit specifically, anglers should be comfortable casting heavy crab patterns accurately at 60 feet in the wind.

And lastly, figure out your travel logistics well in advance.
