The region
While we can certainly lend a hand organizing a trip to the Baja Peninsula, our main focus in Mexico is on the Yucatan Peninsula and the Caribbean. With numerous non-stop flights from various North American portals, the “Mayan Riviera” is a safe and convenient destination, and offers a culturally rich and stunningly beautiful venue for some of the greatest fishing opportunities in the Caribbean Sea. Whether you are on a mission to catch your first permit, catch a zillion bonefish, or go for a saltwater grand slam - the Yucatan has it all.
Tailwaters’ representation on the Yucatan is on Ascension Bay exclusively with the Palometa Club and in Campeche. We have a unique relationship with the Palometa Club in that David Leake is also an owner / partner in the lodge. Ascension Bay offers a very species-diverse fishing experience targeting bonefish, tarpon, snook, and permit (and more). The Palometa Club has a reputation of having the best guides on the Yucatan - and a particular emphasis on permit fishing. We also work with Raul Castaneda at Tarpon Town Anglers in Campeche for those looking for the best of the best juvenile tarpon fishing available.
