Seasons

Palometa Lodge is open from mid November to June.

The fishing is rated good to excellent during this whole time. Tarpon can be found during any month of the year, but not in big numbers. Baby tarpon can be found in some of the bays and there are a few big tarpon around during most months. Permit can be found all season as well as bonefish. As with other Yucatan destinations, the weather will have a lot to do with fish catching success. During the winter, (November through February) there is a chance of a cold front coming through, but they are usually short lived and after it has passed, the fishing usually picks up with a vengeance. So, by all means plan a trip during the winter to get away from shoveling snow and cutting wood. The safest months to go are probably March, April and May. This is usually after the cold fronts and before hurricane season (June through November).
