Spring is one of the best times to experience Ascension Bay, and our Spring 2023 season showed exactly why anglers keep coming back. Clear water, active flats, steady bonefish, real permit opportunities, and improving tarpon action made for the kind of mixed-species fishing trip that defines this legendary destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ascension Bay offers everything serious flats anglers are looking for: shallow-water sight fishing, beautiful backcountry scenery, experienced local guides, and a realistic shot at bonefish, permit, tarpon, and snook in the same trip. Spring brings warming water, strong visibility, and a wide variety of fishing options, making it an ideal season for both first-time saltwater anglers and experienced permit hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No two days on Ascension Bay are exactly the same. That is why fishing with a local guide matters. We build each day around tide, wind, light, water clarity, and fish movement so you are always in the best available water. When the open flats are right, we hunt permit and bonefish. When the wind changes, we move to protected shorelines, mangroves, and channels where the bite can stay strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January through April is a standout window for anglers who want variety, comfortable fishing conditions, and a real chance at multiple species in one trip. Whether your goal is your first bonefish, your next permit, or a full week exploring the flats with a guide, spring is a season worth planning around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Ascension Bay is on your fishing list, spring is the time to make it happen. Join our local guide team in Punta Allen for clear flats, technical sight fishing, beautiful water, and the chance to chase some of the most exciting species in saltwater. Dates can fill quickly during prime season, so reach out early to start planning your guided fishing adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
