Week In Review
Last week, El Pescador hosted over 30 anglers for the Belize edition of the Redbone Tournament “to catch the cure for Cystic Fibrosis.” During the three day event, two angler teams fanned out over the 400 square mile fishing area that El Pescador calls home base. In all, the event was a huge success from both a fishing perspective and for money raised towards finding a cure. Many thanks to the crew at Yellow Dog and the organizers at Redbone for an excellent event!
