The above were all caught within 15 miles of Belize River Lodge. Whether fishing from the Lodge or from our live-aboards no long runs were necessary to find Permit, Tarpon, Bonefish or Snook. Very often there were big Tarpon and Permit on either side of our boats at the same time. This year has been a great fishing year, as the same happened for Snook, small Tarpon and Bonefish. Several Tripple Tails were caught near big tarpon. In fact to catch the possible record Tripple Tail, a choice had to be made whether to cast to a big Tarpon or a big Tripple Tail. Decisions! Decisions!
(A few days during this time frame, boats from as far away as 30 miles also showed up to fish BRL?s traditional areas – big Tarpon anyone??) Other catches included a 26 ? lb. Tripple Tail, for which an IGFA World record has been applied; many bonefish, many small tarpon 8-40 lbs., snook to 15 lbs., Jack Crevalles, barracudas, Cubera Snappers and other snappers. Variety is the name of the game fishing with Central Belize with BRL.
Don’t you wish you were here during this time? You can still get in some great fishing at BRL through the rest of 2007. Also, if you are interested in fishing in 2008, this is the time to set aside your choice dates.
Long weekends of fishing are easy at BRL. When arriving on early flights you can get in a good first half day fishing and when departing on flights after mid-day you can also get in another half day of fishing.
Less travel and waiting time means MORE FISHING TIME!
