Permit season in Mexico and Cuba

October and November is our favourite time to target permit in Mexico and Cuba. Over the next 4 weeks we have 60 anglers visiting these 2 destinations. Our first clients managed to get down to Casa Blanca and Tulum in mid October. James and Tracy managed their first permit each and then preceded to land another 8 over their 2 week stay. James manage to convert one of his permit into a Grand Slam.  A great achievement!! Some thoughts and images from their trip below.

Hi Mat,

 

I've attached some pics from our trip to Casa Blanca.  As you can probably tell our main focus was permit.  We both had a great time, the lodge and its setting was top notch and Rita was a great host.  Obviously going for permit is never going to be a numbers game but I think we did alright, finishing with 6 between us at Casa Blanca (another 4 were added from the beach at Tulum).  Whenever a permit was landed we made sure we got a bonefish in preparation for the night time tarpon fishing from the pier.  I did manage to finish off a grand slam one night.  I very nearly finished another slam from the beach around Casa Blanca on the Saturday before we left in the afternoon for the plane - I had the permit and bone but the tarpon got off even though I thought I'd nailed it.

 

Many thanks for organising everything - it all went to plan.

Regards, James
