Lucky you! Most merchants will accept credit cards, AMEX is accepted fewer places, but still pretty prevelant. Some places will charge a bit of a fee, so ask first. US dollars are accepted everywhere, so there is no need to exchange. You will often receive your change in BZE dollars. It is a fixed rate of $2 bz to $1 US. No American Express ofc on the island, but most hotels will cash your travelers checks. So will some businesses. I don't fish much, so will leave that info to someone else to provide, but there are lots of posts about places that will prepare your catch for you and what to do with extra fish. If you are like many of us, this will be your first trip of many. Enjoy!

JZB - Yes, dabunk is right AND your bank will charge you a handling fee. I always used my credit cards for only large purchases, like resort and diving. Cash is always accepted and especially US dollars as merchants need that to buy their goods from the states. If you get cashier's checks I suggest you get them in US $20 denomination and you will be able to cash them most anyplace where they would take a credit card. Be sure and carry you passport with you for ID purposes and write the number on the back of the check. Have fun.
