October 1, 2023
Quality time and new experiences were made during Father/Son week at El Pescador Lodge. Anglers were rewarded with huge snook stalking the flats and snapper from 800 feet below. When not fishing there was pool time, beach adventures, and exploring Mayan ruins, making memories to last a lifetime. A couple of trip slams also added to the adventure.

This past week at Ambergris Caye was buzzing with excitement as Mossy Creek Flyfishing enthusiasts joined us, with Nick finally breaking his tarpon curse! Young anglers marked their debut, showcasing a growing passion for the sport, especially for tarpon and a diverse range of fish species. With serene mornings and shining sun, we ventured to the mainland and pursued permit, encountering and landing several impressive tarpon. Keep an eye out for the increasing schools of Jack Crevalle! As we gear up for another week, our boats are set with devoted permit fishermen. Here's to more thrilling catches!

Despite lighter guest numbers this week, those who visited enjoyed excellent fishing. A weather system brought rain and westerly winds, but fortunately moved on quickly. The calm, overcast days allowed anglers to sight cast to tarpon up to 100 lbs. When the sun emerged, the permit fishing turned on and was excellent, with several nice fish landed. Snook fishing also benefited from the west wind. Overall, we had 3 grand slams this week - congratulations to Katie, Marc and Brent! Even with some unsettled weather, skilled anglers made the most of the opportunities.
