Anglers can expect to get numerous realistic shots at permit on a daily basis. Something unique to Blue Horizon’s fishing program, and in contrast to traditional permit fishing, is spotting permit from the skiff, then stealthily slipping into the water, wading to within casting distance for optimal position, then casting to tailing fish. This type of fishing will blow your mind. There is no set fishing schedules at Blue Horizon Lodge; long fishing days are the norm. We fish by the tides, not the cook.

A few resident schools of bonefish will keep things interesting and one the best tarpon fishing locals in this area is a ten minute boat ride from the lodge. Barracuda, jacks and snapper are abundant. No long boat rides are encountered at Blue Horizon, the lodge sits virtually in the middle of 100’s of flats. The lodge uses 3 panga-type skiffs, complete with casting platforms, each with plenty of horsepower to scoot anglers between fishing grounds. Most fishing at Blue Horizon Lodge is done the way it should be, on foot, over grand flats that are solid and easily waded.

The accommodations are rustic with a no frill approach, but you will find you host and staff eager to please, ensuring a delightful trip.
