WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): Another awesome week of bonefishing with the Baton Rouge group. Alex and Bailey put together a fun group of fishermen and women to try their hand at bonefishing. Everybody had a great time and caught plenty of bonefish. The weather was beautiful and the fish were hungry. Belize is the perfect spot for the beginning bonefish angler. Come give it a try!

PERMIT (Palometta): It is always a good day when you are fishing. This week, with the nice weather was no exception and our anglers landed eight Permit. Our fishery is so abundant with those hard to catch, crazy, unpredictable, nutty, wonderful Permit. There is a reason a t-shirt is sold that says "Why I didn't catch a permit today". Hard to catch, but fun to hunt.

TARPON (Sabalo): The big boys of summer are close by and headed our way. Sightings of some very large Tarpon are becoming a daily occurrence. Our Tarpon anglers and guides are willing to wake up early to chase those monsters. Just like the Permit, the Tarpon can play hard to get, but hooking in to a fish that is over one hundred pounds is quite the experience and something every saltwater angler must try.

OTHER SPECIES: Jacks, barracuda, and snapper.

GRAND SLAM: Congratulations to Kevin D. on his GRAND SLAM!
