Week In Review
It was a fun week for us because we got to fish some areas we don’t normally fish, and had some fantastic days. As a tropical system came through and then strengthened into Hurricane Idalia after it passed Belize, we had southwest winds for quite a while. We didn’t have many boats out this week, but the folks that were out found some really good fish. Bob landed several tarpon over a 100 pounds, including a fish that pushed 150#. He has also caught permit and bonefish but hasn’t managed to get them all in the same day. Yet! He has a couple of days left for the elusive slam.
Nate, though, did manage his Grand Slam!! Congratulations! Nate and his wonderful family (Gigi, Nathan, and Tyler) left this morning after an exciting week of flats fishing, reef fishing, snorkeling, lagoon fishing, volleyball, and an all around good time.
We have a few groups in this week and some great weather. We are looking forward to another great week in Belize!
