Discovering Belize's Rich Fisheries
Belize is steadily making its mark as a go-to destination for anglers seeking a fishing paradise. With endless opportunities on the water, this Caribbean gem is proving a hot spot for fishing lovers around the world. Did you know that 5% of Belize is home to inshore lagoons, which are complemented by one of the world’s largest coral reefs and deep offshore waters? Now you know!
Unleashing the Best in Deep-Sea Angling
The fishing grounds of Belize are teeming with a wide array of species, from inshore super grand slams to big game offshore pursuits, Belize’s waters cater to every angler’s dream. So, let’s delve into some of the sought after species in Belize!
Tarpon and Snook: Inshore you will find these “Silver Kings”, formidable fighters that populate the shallow flats, estuaries, and freshwater fishing grounds. There is a reason why these fish are recognised as prize sport fish, hooking these is the first, and easiest step! Landing them on the boat is another story involving a battle of skill and strength!
Permit and Bonefish: Completing the inshore super grand slam, Permit and Bonefish add to Belize’s angling allure. Fly anglers will find their element on the flats, pursuing Bonefish and Permits.
Snappers: Snapper season in Belize runs through January to…well, December. There is no shortage of these delicious fish cruising the reef, some of our favourites include Cubera, Mutton and when deep dropping, nothing compares to the taste of Queen and Champagne Snappers.
Marlin and Sailfish: In the deeper waters beyond the reef, Marlin and Sailfish take center stage. The ocean depths, dropping to around 2,000 feet almost immediately, offer prime hunting grounds for these sought-after billfish.
And Many More: Jacks, Barracuda, Mackerel, Groupers, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Tuna – the list goes on. Belize’s waters, whether inshore, nearshore, or offshore, present an extensive array of species for anglers of all levels.
