Belize Fishing Reports - Ambergris Caye
April 2, 2023
What a gorgeous week of weather and with the arrival of big tarpon reels were singing to the strain. Water clear all around, Permit active with some landed. A good number of big Yellowtail Jacks slashing and nailing flies. Lots of great bonefish as usual. Wish you were here!

The weather was comfortable, fishing was solid with some excellent periods, and there were many chances at permit but fewer sightings of Tarpon. Additionally, good wade fishing opportunities were available for Bonefish and some Permit.

Some high winds have returned this week. Fishing has still been good, but open water has been rougher, so we have concentrated our fishing on the back side of the island.

We have been enjoying our normal tradewinds this week, which has shown in excellent fishing due to an influx of sargassum that had a lot of fish working the reef side of the islands. We found fish consistently and generally had fish to work all day out there. They weren't as consistent about eating, but life can't be perfect! All in all, a great week to be in Belize.

Bouts of high winds gusting above 25 mph had hampered fishing conditions this past week until the weekend when winds returned to normal levels. The sun has been out consistently, though. Permit and Tarpon were challenging to see on the flats despite the sunny weather because the wind created more chop on the water. Fish were relatively grabby when we could get on them, and the weekend was more fun with gentler breezes.

Increasing bouts with high winds gusting above 25 mph have hampered fishing conditions this past week. The sun has been out consistently, though. Permit and Tarpon are challenging to see on the flats despite the sunny weather because the wind creates more chop on the water. Anglers have focused on schools of Bonefish, and small Tarpon and Snook continue to be found in and around mangrove growth during cooler temperatures and low tide. We have had patches of good permit fishing.

Winds shift from East to North East as cold fronts move through the local area of Ambergris Caye. Permit and Tarpon are being landed on the northern flats outside Bocolar Chico Park. Small Tarpon and Snook continue be found in and around mangrove growth during cooler temperatures and low tide.
