Ascension Bay covers about 20 square kilometers (12.4 square miles), and its shallow flats and tangled mangrove islands teem with bonefish, tarpon, and huge permit—some of the biggest ever caught, in fact.
It is a fly fisher’s dream come true, and it has been attracting anglers from around the world since the mid-1980s. And not just guys in waders—the spin fishing is fantastic, too, and the offshore reef yields plenty of grouper, barracuda, dorado, tuna, sailfish, and marlin.
