Belize Fishing Reports - Ambergris Caye
November 29, 2020
This was a slow week, with the weather playing a big part. Due to the heavy cloud and rain, sight fishing was very difficult. We are looking forward to vastly improved weather conditions next week.

This was a much better weather week at the lodge with us finally shaking off the effects of the two Hurricanes which battered our southern neighbors. Fortunately, we only experienced huge rain. The Tarpon are very active, and really big numbers of Permit are being seen all over. We look forward to another bumper week ahead.

This was a much quieter week in the lodge with fewer anglers, but nevertheless, good results were enjoyed. We had 3 "trip slams" with John C, Dan C, and Bob B catching all three species. The highlight of the week was a magnificent 100 Lb. Tarpon was landed by John C fishing with Capt Cesar.

This week was excellent again, with large numbers of Permit being seen. Tarpon were the story of the week, with Capt. Gordy shooting the lights out with 14 Tarpon landed by his guests. We honestly lost count of the numbers of fish that were jumped. The fishing has been incredible. Four grad slams recorded as well.

The highlight of the week was a double grand slam for Hunter R fishing with Cesar. His wife Kelsey, narrowly missed her slam with the Permit breaking the leader at the boat! Not to be outdone, she then went on to boat three good Tarpon that day! Josh fishing with Gordy also had a grand slam and took other Tarpon as well.

This week was truly incredible with huge numbers of Permit being seen. They were very difficult to hook, and made the anglers work very hard ! Bonefish were around in big numbers and so many were caught daily that we do not have an accurate tally. One boat accounted for over 20 fish in a day ! The big story of the week was definitely the Tarpon. Fish were spotted everywhere, and our guests enjoyed a true bonanza. JC and Jeo hooked 10 Tarpon in one day and boated 4. The biggest fish was a good 60 lbs.

We are truly delighted that yesterday was our grand re-opening! Our first angler, Ken Z went out and caught a beauty of a permit. He used a light brown Mantis Shrimp pattern. The fish were everywhere, and large numbers of Tarpon were seen rolling. They were reluctant to take flies as yesterday we had had a significant weather system pass by Belize, and with the sudden drop in Barometric pressure, the fish lost interest. Thankfully it is rising again, and we anticipate a bumper week ahead! We are so looking forward to seeing our extended El Pescador family back here in Belize ~ so do come see us soon!
