Week In Review

Seasonal fronts, cooler temperatures and strong winds continue for a second week in and around Ambergris Caye.  Water conditions have become cloudy with higher winds making for challenging conditions.  Catch rates are below average this past week, Bonefish are being caught largely through blind casting on the flats. Schools of Permit are being sighted and Tarpon have been hooked but both in limited numbers.  Tarpon have been the most challenging to catch.
