Belize - February 9th, 2008
supplied by: Belize Flats Fishing Expeditions RECORDED:84 °FISHING: Great
just returned from a trip to southern belize, with 6 clients for 4 days of permit fishing and we had a new moon tide that kept the full amount of water off the flats , but still had 10 to 15 legitimate shots at permit each day. With the low water it kept them from doing their Belizean tail show compared to normal but still got lots of great shots and the final score was 7 hooked 3 landed with 2 being hooked,but lost, in th 20 lbs plus catagory, all in all everyone was very happy!!! Ambergris Caye continues to fish well with the usual hungry packs of bones that are not being molested yet. The permit fishing has been strong with 5 landed in the last two weeks. The tarpon are still spotty but the guides report seeing lots of bait which means it is just a matter of time before we start seeing lots of the silver sides!!

Tarpon are being found consistently now. we have had clients hooking tarpon daily,the landing of some of these monster is the hard part though.
permit on the flats have been user friendly, two hooked last week and a couple broken off!!!
bonefish are spooky becuase of the upcoming full moon.but still can be fun and challenging, especially if you run further than all the usual spots.
