Favorite Permit Fishing Destinations

There are many great permit fishing flats from north of Cancun to Honduras to the south.  My favorite flats and guides are located on the Yucatan Peninsula and south into Belize.  Each location shares in common productive permit fishing, talented guides who will teach the finer points of permit fishing, and each destination has great accommodations within striking distance of the prime permit flats.

Each of these three locations are the perfect choice for anglers in search of their first permit and each fishery has a unique characteristic you won't experience anywhere else.
