(PRWEB) April 16, 2006 -- The area surrounding Casa Blanca is wild, virtually uninhabited and extraordinarily beautiful. There are miles of shallow bays, secluded mangrove-rimmed lagoons, white sand beaches, and dense coastal jungle.
The lodge itself is perched on the tip of a narrow coastal island on the southern edge of Ascension Bay. It also happens to be in the center of one of the world's largest protected wild areas...the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. This pristine reserve covers over 1.3 million acres and completely surrounds Casa Blanca. Sian Ka'an has also been designated by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site. Casa Blanca Lodge has just signed on with AmericanFlyFishingVacations.
Accommodations:
The Lodge sits on a rocky point known to the locals as Punta Pajaros. The actual Lodge was the former staff quarters for coco plantation workers. Since it was remodeled you will find that every room is one with a view. Each of the eight rooms has a different layout to accommodate individual or group's needs. Each room has private baths and daily maid services. The lodge also boasts a 100yd long concrete pier. Under the lights at night you fill find cruising tarpon and permit. Some of the best fishing happens right off the pier.
Fishing:
The vast estuary/flats system and adjacent reef are the basis of Casa Blanca's pristine and highly productive fishery. The primary game fish in Ascension Bay are Bonefish, Permit, Snook and Tarpon. Shallow water coral species demand a very stable environment with precise water temperature and consistent water depth in order to flourish. This is why large barrier reefs, like the Palancar Reef that parallels Casa Blanca's coast, are so rare. Palancar is second only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
The reef itself supplies food and shelter to a huge variety of baitfish and small crustaceans, which in turn attract larger predators. The reef also protects the shore-side fishery from full ocean swells. The coral heads absorb the brunt of the waves, allowing the flats to remain calm even if the reef is being pounded by a storm swell.
There is a wide variety of underrated, under-fished species in Ascension Bay which will match the skill of the most sophisticated anglers. Barracuda are at the top of the list. They are perhaps the most exciting fish on the flats. They will take a fly or a lure. In addition to Cuda you will also find Jacks, Shark, and Snapper.
