Gear for Mexico — Ascension Bay.

Our Ascension Bay collection of gear, flies, tackle, clothing and accessories is curated by our team of professionals that have spent more time on the water here than anyone in the business. Whether it is in-store, online, or through a virtual outfitting appointment, we would love to lend a hand getting your gear organized for a trip to Ascension Bay.

Ascension Bay is a very diverse fishery with excellent opportunities for bonefish, permit, snook, juvenile tarpon, and numerous other species available year round. The summertime adult tarpon fishing is also something everyone visiting May - September should be prepared for.
