Pesca Maya

SaltwaterSian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve — north edge of Ascension Bay, near Punta Allen

Since 1996 Pesca Maya has fished from a barrier beach in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve near Punta Allen, between the El Rio lagoons and the north edge of Ascension Bay. Each 23-foot panga takes two anglers with a head guide and an apprentice, who pole and wade the bay and lagoon flats for bonefish, permit, tarpon and snook. Spin anglers are welcome too, and the lodge rents spinning tackle as well as fly outfits.
