Grand Slam Lodge Mexico 2023-2024

Thank you for your interest in traveling with Trek Safaris to Grand Slam Lodge. Here, three hours south of Cancun and just an hour and a half hours drive south of Tulum, is a pristine fishery in the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve. It hosts some of the biggest permit in the world and enormous schools of bonefish. With tarpon and snook on hand, it’s one of the world’s best places to go for a Grand Slam or Super Slam. Both fly fisherman and spinning enthusiasts will find the expansive flats of Ascension Bay a thrill. You can try reef and offshore sports fishing too. Off the water, relax in one of their 12 beachfront villa rooms, complete with air conditioning, king-sized beds, wrap-around deck and locking rod racks. Cool off in the pool or have drinks delivered to you at your Bali beach bed. Dine on fresh-caught lobster and fish for dinner, then enjoy an aged rum and a Cuban cigar while swapping fishing stories.

The Holy Grail in fishing is a Grand Slam: landing a bonefish, tarpon and permit in the same day. It’s like a hole-in-one for a golfer. Add a snook to the trio for a Super Slam. In Ascension Bay, your chances of earning this achievement have never been better. Whether you are a fly fisherman or choose conventional spinning gear, Grand Slam will get you on fish as there are other species to target like cudas, snappers, and plenty of reef species. The 25-ft. fishing pangas are stable in the shallow flats, have a wide casting area on the flat bow, and a poling platform at the back for sighting fish. They easily slip through the canals in the mangroves to quiet lagoons where tarpon lurk. They’re outfitted with 40- to 60-hp engines to access remote spots in the bay and get you in quick when rain clouds loom. They also have comfortable seats, rod holders, gear and coolers.
