Belize Fishing
BELIZE FISHING MAP
The North/Central coast of Belize offers an unparalleled
variety of light tackle fishing opportunities. This 60 mile
stretch of water is sheltered by the second largest barrier
reef in the world and contains flats, cays, channels,
mangroves, and river mouths which provide the following
menu:
|
*sight casting to
tarpon, permit, and bonefish on shallow
flats
|
|
*blind casting in
channels for 40-100+ tarpon
|
|
*mangrove edges
harboring snook, "baby" tarpon, &
snappers
|
|
* river mouth systems
holding snook, jacks, "baby" tarpon, and a
variety of snappers
|
|
* trolling the reef for
barracuda, wahoo, grouper, snappers, and other
reef dwelling species.
|
This map is intended to provide information about the major
fishing opportunities. For instance, bonefish can sometimes be
found on most of the flats surrounding cays inside the reef,
but the concentrations of fish would be stronger in the areas
marked "B." The same would be true
of tarpon and permit.
