The Week of Jan. 28-Feb. 4, 2012
Weather Conditions: Two cold fronts brought in some cloud cover and rain
Air Temp: Averaged in the mid-70s Water Temp: Upper 70s Wind: Winds from the N and E
Tides: We had a rising tide throughout the day in the beginning of the week, and a high falling tide in the morning by week’s end Moon Phase: First Quarter Moon on Mon., Jan. 30
Despite less-than-ideal weather, all anglers landed bonefish throughout the week. We also had one permit caught in the beginning of the week.
Fishing was affected by the weather. Unfortunately, we had back-to-back cold fronts move through the area that pushed fish off the flats and into deeper water. It was very unusual and definitely not characteristic during this time of the year – or any time of year, for that matter.
By Saturday (2/4) the weather broke and we were graced with sunshine and the sight of many tailing bonefish in front of the lodge.
Canadian visitors IvoM., Bryan R., and Bill F., fished with guides Daniel and Willie. An angler on a mission, Ivo, along with Daniel, concentrated on permit, and was successful in landing one early in the week. By week’s end, Ivo decided to take advantage of the variety of sport fish species found at Turneffe and caught a couple of barracuda on Fri. While Ivo and Daniel were chasing permit, Bryan and Bill headed to one of our many hard-bottom flats in search of bonefish. They were successful all week long in landing bonefish, even in less-than-ideal conditions. Both Bryan and Bill also had a few shots at permit.
Joining us from San Diego, Calif., were Brian E., Gerry D., and Kim E. The three anglers fished with guides Dubs and Dion. Each angler landed bonefish plus a few snapper and barracuda. These three gentlemen also had a couple of shots at permit.
We also had a handful of half-week anglers – Paul and Barbara B., and Jim D., fished with guide Capt. at various times in the week. All were quite new to saltwater fly-fishing, and each caught multiple bonefish and a few other species.
It was a small group of fun-loving and interesting guests that had us all feeling like a family by the end of the week.
On Feb. 2 – Groundhog Day – Punxsutawney Phil forecast six more weeks of winter. If that unwelcome news puts you in a deep, fishless funk, think about a week wading the flats in easy-to-reach, English-speaking Belize.

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!!
Ambergris Caye - May 3rd, 2007
supplied by: Belize Flats Fishing Expeditions RECORDED:88 °FISHING: Great
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.
