Belize
Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit and Deep Sea Fishing |
|||||||||||
| Belize is ideal for fishermen looking for an excellent mix of saltwater flats and reef fishing. The country has a great deal to offer with its ruins from the Mayan civilization, dense, uncharted jungle and shallow, crystal-clear coastal waters. | |||||||||||
 |

| Both El Pescador and Turneffe Flats have knowledgeable guides to help you explore this vast fishery. Impressive numbers of bonefish of 3-7lbs (the largest 12lbs), permit of 8-12lbs (the largest 30lbs) and tarpon 30-90lbs (the largest 130lbs) are caught year round, with the larger tarpon migrating past in May to August. Snook also frequent the immense network of channels and flats, while kingfish, dorado, sailfish, marlin, wahoo and tuna, as well as cubera snapper, shark, barracuda and jacks are an ever-present bonus. | |||||||||||

The lodge has large classical tarpon flats and tidal channels where tarpon can be spotted. There are good numbers of resident fish from 20-70lbs with fish over 100lbs not uncommon year round.

The lagoons of Frenchman's and Hicks Cays provide an excellent environment for permit. El Pescador is a stunning collonial lodge on the Bahia del Punta Arena just outside San Pedro.
