The Ascension Bay Fishery

As a fishery, Ascension Bay is a proven commodity, long considered one of the best locations in the world to accomplish the coveted “Grand Slam”; that landing a tarpon, a bonefish and a permit in one day. And the snook fishing can be excellent if you aspire to a “Super Grand Slam”. Grand Slam Fly Fishing Lodge was fortunate to recruit one of the most experienced and eminently qualified persons to manage the lodge and the fishing program. Bobby Settles spent the past 23 years on Ascension Bay as owner/manager and fishing director of Casa Blanca Lodge, located on the south side of the Bay as well as Playa Blanca Lodge. Bobby not only brings to the table his vast knowledge of Ascension Bay and how best to catch these fish on a fly, he’s brought with him a stable of loyal veteran guides, some of whom have guided the bay for over 20 years themselves. Under Bobby’s direction, the Grand Slam fishing program is as good as it gets.

Amazing Accommodtions at Grand Slam Lodge

Accommodations at Grand Slam Lodge are in six, two-story beachfront villas, each with two separate rooms featuring contemporary interiors. The ground floor rooms each have two king-sized beds, an ocean-view Jacuzzi, and a wrap-around deck with lounge chairs and a hammock. The second level bedrooms have one king-sized bed, a living area, an ocean-view Jacuzzi and a balcony with a hammock.

Each of the rooms has air conditioning, 24-hour electricity and hot water. Truly a boutique resort hotel, no expense was spared at Grand Slam with fixtures and amenities like with king-sized beds, a flat screen television with satellite service and DVD player, an iPod docking station for music and a stocked mini bar in each room. Each private bath is furnished with double Italian marble sinks.

The heart of the resort is the spectacular main lodge “palapa” housing the bar and the spectacular Kai Restaurant where gourmet meals prepared from the freshest local ingredients are served in air-conditioned comfort inside, or “al fresco” on the covered restaurant deck overlooking the Caribbean.

Situated on a spectacular stretch of white sand beach, the resort caters to hard core anglers, those who are new to the game, as well non-fishing guests. Non fishing guests will enjoy the ocean view pool as well as the gorgeous manicured, palm studded white sand beach with cabañas and “beach beds”. A “beach & pool butler” is ever present to take your orders refreshments, snacks or lunch. Other activities include snorkeling or scuba diving, guided kayak tours, kite surfing, bird watching and other various eco- and Mayan ruin tours may be arranged. Grand Slam is the perfect destination for anglers traveling with a non-fishing spouse.

Kamalame Cay Resort

Updated on

February 13, 2026

Experience “ALL INCLUSIVE” world-class accommodations and exceptional service on a private cay while fishing pristine Bahamas bonefish flats, diving the warm, azure Caribbean Sea, or relaxing on your villa’s private verandah.

The remote north and northwest Andros Island flats and the seldom-fished Joulter Cays can be explored with professional, knowledgeable and personable Kamalame Cay fishing guides. Staff naturalists will also take you snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking or sea-kayaking to reveal an unspoiled Andros Island.

or

On the Cay, a freshwater swimming pool, directly looking over a pristine, white sand beach is at your disposal. The palm covered Tiki Bar with fully stocked “top shelf” bar is located right at the pool. A tennis court rounds out the on-site activities.

We are able to offer you an all-inclusive, luxurious package at a price that reflects absolute quality. Discover the complete comfort of Kamalame.

Fish the abundant water close by the villa, venture to the fabled Joulter Cays just 30 minutes (by car) north of Andros, or even explore the untouched northwest side of Andros Island. And, who would want to miss the angler-tested, guide-approved North Bight?

If you choose, each day, you will be taken by an air-conditioned vehicle to meet your guide and boat (Maverick skiff with poling platform) at one of these fishing locations so that every angler will have an opportunity to access the different available areas.

If you favor a more relaxed pace, or if you just can’t stop fishing at the end of the day, wander onto Staniard Creek’s expansive flat out the backdoor of the Cay. Andros is well known for its large bonefisd, and our visits to the Joulters with Kamalame have confirmed this. Fish averaging a solid 4 pounds, and many in the 9-pound-plus class, are encountered while even larger bones work the flats’ edges. There have been some permit caught in the Joulters; however, these fish should be considered a bonus. It is a very impressive fishery.

The fully-equipped, center console 24 foot sportfishing boat sits at Kamalame’s dock ready to take you to the nearby reef and beyond to explore a vibrant fishery. Combine this exciting offshore action, Kamalame’s extraordinary facility, and the opportunity to be one of the lucky few to stalk Andros’ famed bonefish in rarely touched water, and you have all the makings for the trip-of-a-lifetime.

Accommodations

Extraordinary attention to every detail is a hallmark of the accommodations at Kamalame Cay. Several accommodation selections are available. From private villas, to duplex cottages with private entrances and common living area, to the quaint Angler’s Nest cottages, Kamalame has many lodging options to choose from.All of the villas at Kamalame Cay have private patio areas off the bedrooms, huge closets, fully stocked fridges with cold Kaliks, water and juices. All of the accommodations have ceiling fans and air conditioning and the use of a golf cart to explore the Cay at your leisure. Some of the villas or cottages offer an over-sized soaking tub for relaxing which will allow you to relax in your Kamalame Cay Turkish bath robe.

Miles of beautiful exclusive beach directly in front of the villas beckon the beachcomber. It is not uncommon to walk the beach and find sand dollars and exotic shells.

For larger groups wanting more deluxe and private accommodations, the owners home at Kamalame Cove sits on 4 acres and offers 7,500 square feet of living space with 4 exquisite waterfront bedrooms, a secluded fresh water pool set among palm trees, private access and your own chef at your disposal. The private open air “Great Room” overlooks the sea on three sides.

The “Great House” on the Cay serves as a perfect gathering place for meals, cocktails and fish tales. It is decorated with art and antiques from the owner’s collection, filled with comfortable oversized furniture, and wrapped with an inviting verandah that offers a tranquilizing panoramic view of the sea.

Outstanding candlelight dinners are served with elegance and feature delicious soups, salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, succulent lobster, fresh fish and other delightful main dishes. Meals are accompanied by fine wines and topped off with amazing desserts.

In and around Casa Blanca Fishing Lodge, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Lizard chilling on rock, looking around, contemplating taking up angling.

Casa Blanca Lodge is located in the heart of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. This beachfront lodge is situated on the southern lip of one of the world’s greatest flats fisheries, Bahia de L’Ascencion, better known as Ascension Bay.

Ascension Bay comprises a large portion of the massive 1.3 million acre Sian Ka’an Biosphere Preserve. The Biosphere is wild and virtually uninhabited except for the tiny fishing villages at Punta Allen and Punta Herrera on Bahia Espiritu Santo. The Sian Ka’an is home to over 100 species of mammals and over 330 species of birds and is managed to minimize human impact.

Protected by the world’s second longest barrier reef, Ascension Bay offers miles of shallow bays, secluded mangrove-rimmed lagoons, white sand beaches fronting dense coastal jungle and countless miles of flats. Ascension Bay provides ideal habitat for the world’s top saltwater gamefish including bonefish, permit and tarpon. An angler landing all three of these species in a single day has just accomplished the coveted “Grand Slam”! Ascension Bay likely produces more Grand Slams and Super Grand Slams (add the snook as the 4th species) than any other fishery in the world.

Fishing can take place anywhere for 3 minutes to 60 minutes from the Casa Blanca marina. In fact, many bonefish are caught on the flat where the boats are moored. And tarpon, permit, snook, cubera snapper, jack crevalle and a host of others have been landed from the beach or the pier at Casa Blanca. Guests typically leave the dock around 7:30 am, two anglers per boat/guide in a Dolphin Super Skiff flats boat, spending an 8-hour day on the water. Bonefishing is both from the poled skiff or by wading as Ascension Bay has miles of firm bottomed, wading flats. The Bay is blessed with a huge number of resident bones, and while smaller on average than their Bahamian brethren, the average size has increased over the years, thanks greatly to commercial fishing restrictions within the Biosphere.

Permit are also available year round. They are sometimes caught while wading, but they typically prefer slightly deeper flats so the skiff fishing is usually

more effective. Ascension Bay’s permit average around 12 – 14 pounds, but trophies to 30, 40 and even 50 pounds have been taken. For some unknown reason, Ascension Bay fish seem to take the fly much better than permit in others areas. The Casa Blanca guides are particularly adept at both finding permit but also coaching in the techniques needed to hook this challenging quarry.

Ascension Bay is without question one of the world’s top permit fisheries and our top recommendation for flyrodders in quest of the elusive permit.

Tarpon are more seasonal. The big migratory fish arrive in late March or early April and populate the bay through November. From December through March, tarpon on the flats should be viewed as a bonus species. However, resident juvenile tarpon are found year round in a few areas such as Los Rios and other brackish water spots near the back of the bay. Casa Blanca also offers trips to their secret tarpon lagoon where resident fish from 10 – 50+ pounds are available year round. This special fishery is strictly limited to 3 boats per week to minimize any negative impact from over-fishing. Tarpon lagoon days must be requested at the time you make your reservation and are allotted on a irst-come-first-serve basis.

Snook are also year round residents of the bay, mostly in the backwater, brackish areas. While abundant (and big on average), snook can prove to be the most tricky to catch. They typically hold tight to cover (usually mangroves) requiring accurate casting into tight pockets. Unlike a tarpon, a hooked snook almost always runs for cover. It takes some skill and a stout leader to horse them out quickly so they don’t break or cut you off on a mangrove. On occasions, snook can be seen out cruising open flats, frequently mixed in with “the other three” species.

Other species found in the bay include barracuda, sharks, jack crevalle, mutton and cubera snappers, ladyfish, tripletail and many other reef species.

Commensurate with this world class fishery, Casa Blanca is truly one of the top saltwater fishing lodges in the world. Situated on the northern tip of a private island known as Punta Pajaros (Parrot Point), the lodge provides comfortable accommodations in spacious air-conditioned rooms, each with private bath. The main “Palapa” is a traditional Maya thatched-roof open air common area overlooking the beautiful white sand beach and the emerald and blue hues of the Caribbean. This is where most fishermen will land after a day out on the water to enjoy a cocktail and share tales of the day’s fishing before dinner. Adjacent to this is the dining room/bar/kitchen area where libations are poured and gourmet meals are prepared by their talented chef and served by an attentive wait-staff.

The guides at Casa Blanca are among the most experienced and dedicated that you’ll find anywhere. Many of the guides have fished the bay for 20 years or more. They all speak sufficient English for the task, but more importantly they know the bay, the tides, and its sub-aqueous inhabitants intimately. And they love to get their anglers into fish and work hard to make it happen.

The Delphi Club

Updated on September 18, 2025

The Delphi Club at Rolling Harbour is a luxury bonefishing lodge on Great Abaco Island, close to some of the best bonefishing in the Bahamas. The club overlooks an idyllic beach, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, on the east coast of Great Abaco, about half an hour south of Marsh Harbour. Delphi’s an 8-bedroom lodge, designed in the 18th century colonial plantation house style, with large wrap-around verandahs. The lodge’s 5 private acres elevate the secluded and tranquil lodge more than 50 feet above sea level. The grounds are surrounded by manicured gardens of bougainvillea, frangipani, oleander, hibiscus, ficus and a wide variety of palms. The lodge’s target clients want a beautiful place to stay, with sun, sand & great food, with a particular focus on fly fishermen in search of somewhere special to relax when not out bonefishing on the world-class bonefishing flats of the Marls and Cherokee Sound.

The west side of Abaco offers anglers top quality bonefishing on productive flats that receive far less fishing pressure than some the better-known islands in the Bahamas. The Delphi Club fishes the Marls on the west side of Abaco and Cherokee Sound, on the east side of the island. The Marls offer over 200 square miles of first-class bonefishing flats and are famous for their numbers of bonefish in the 2 – 3 pound range, occasionally up to 7 lbs. A record fish in the Marls would be 9 pounds. The Marls bonefish are typically aggressive feeders that will charge a fly. Anglers may also get an occasional shot at permit and tarpon while fishing the Marls during the summer. Cherokee Sound offers gorgeous sandy flats with extensive wading opportunities. The bonefish in Cherokee Sound are typically larger than the bonefish in the Marls (3 – 5 lb average, up to 12 lbs), however they can be “spooky” fish and challenging to catch. To access the quality fishing in the Marls and Cherokee Sound, Delphi has purchased four new 16′ Dolphin skiffs that are run by brand-new 40-HP Yamaha engines. Each boat has a removable leaning bar and seats with backrest to ensure that anglers are comfortable during the fishing day. The skiffs are trailered by new Toyota Hi-Lux crew cab pick up trucks 5 minutes to Crossing Rocks, 15 minutes to the Marls and 20 minutes to Cherokee Sound.

Delphi currently fishes up to four local guides and draws from a pool of talent including: Donnie Lowe, Dana Lower, Robin Albury from Cherokee Sound and Ishy Williams, Tony Russell, Darren Russell and Joe Brodie from Crossing Rocks. The guides are assigned on a rotation basis so you are apt to fish with each of them during a weeks stay.

The Delphi Club at Rolling Harbour was created in the image of Peter Mantle’s Delphi Lodge in Ireland. The main house of The Delphi Club is luxurious, more so than your typical fishing lodge, and consists of a Great Room, a Library, a gallery and 8 well-appointed bedrooms. The Great Room is the center of the house and features an enormous dining table, a discreet honor bar, comfortable seating, and stunning views through a number of glass doors. The Great Room is decorated with fine antiques and fishing paraphernalia, providing this common area with character and elegant atmosphere. The adjacent library is well stocked with a variety of books and features (with some reluctance) the Delphi’s only TV. Other amenities include an infinity pool, patio with sun loungers, and massage services.

Turneffe Flats Resort

Updated on

October 14, 2025

Turneffe Flats Resort is one of the premier resorts in Belize and is located on the northeast section of the Turneffe Atoll. Turneffe Atoll is one of best destinations to target Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit, where the chance of a “Grand Slam” is always a possibility. The Turneffe Atoll is located 30 miles off the coast of Belize and is the fourth largest coral Atoll in the Western Hemisphere. Turneffe Flats’ close proximity to ocean-side flats, inland flats, lagoons and channels provides some of the world’s most diverse sight fishing opportunities for good numbers of bonefish and permit on the flats, and shots at medium to large rolling Tarpon in the lagoons and creeks. In addition to the miles upon miles of ankle deep flats that lie between the Turneffe Islands and the surrounding reef, there are also clear, pristine flats located close to the resort. There are few better places for wading the flats in pursuit of bonefish and permit.

Belize Bonefish Release (photo by Pablo Negri)

Bonefishing at Turneffe Flats Resort

Bonefish are present in equal numbers throughout the year and they are on the flats most of the time. This differentiates Turneffe’s bonefish from those in other areas, such as the Florida Keys, where bonefish only enter the flats in search of a meal. As a result, these fish can become selective. This can make for challenging fishing and the right tackle, flies, presentation and fishing techniques are all important.The bonefish flats at Turneffe are lush flats composed of hard sand, coral and eelgrass, which are full of crabs and shirmp. Nearly all these flats are wadable, providing an excellent opportunity to stalk bonefish on foot. On the ocean side flats, schools of 25 or more tailing bonefish are common, most of which are 2 – 4 pounds. Larger bonefish, up to 10 pounds, have been caught on the ocean side flats, however, most of the larger bonefish caught at Turneffe Flats Resort are found in the mangrove-lined lagoons and flats on the interior of the Atoll.

Permit Fishing at Turneffe Flats Resort

Permit have become the prime objective of many saltwater anglers these days and with Turneffe Flats leading the way, Belize has gained a reputation as the “Permit Capital of the World.” Permit fishing is as much hunting as it is fishing, and permit present a unique challenge. Many guests have celebrated their first ever permit at Turneffe Flats and anglers may have a better chance to land a permit at Turneffe Flats than anywhere else.

Most permit are found as singles or in small groups on the flats and bars throughout the Turneffe Atoll, although guests at Turneffe Flats also frequently see larger schools of permit tailing in shallow water, especially on the high tide. Most of the permit fishing is done from a poled skiff, however it’s not uncommon to see permit on the wadeable ocean-side flats.

Tarpon Fishing at Turneffe Flats Resort

Tarpon are one of the ultimate challenges in saltwater fly-fishing and Turneffe Flats has smaller resident tarpon available year round in the creeks channels, and lagoons, however; big migratory tarpon move in from mid-April – October, with the peak tarpon fishing occurring June, July, and August. Most of the tarpon jumped are 60-90 pounds, with some fish in the 100-150 pound range and occasional monsters approaching 200 pounds.

Turneffe Flats Accommodations

Turneffe Flats Resort is comprised of 8 beach cabana style guest rooms, a pair of 3-bedrooms villas, and a main lodge building. The 8 beach cabana guest rooms are large, well appointed double occupancy seaside rooms, with central air-conditioning, ample closet space, dresser, and a sitting area. Each room has a large private bath with two sinks and a shower.

Turneffe Flats’ two villas each have 3 air-conditioned bedrooms with their own private bathrooms and showers. The three bedrooms have a shared common area, which is comprised of a comfortable lounging area with a satellite television and kitchenette (sink, refrigerator, and kitchen island with barstools).

The Reef Villa is located on the beach and has possibly the best view of any of the guest rooms. The Garden Villa is set back from beach with a view of the grounds and the Caribbean Sea. The Garden Villa is the newest accommodations at Turneffe Flats and the guest rooms are on the second floor. There is a television area, an exercise room, and a meeting area on the ground floor of the Garden Villa.

The air-conditioned main Resort building serves as the social center of Turneffe Flats Resort. The main lodge consists of the dining room, bar, gift shop fly shop guest computer email, and a lounge.

Playa Blanca Lodge

Updated on

October 14, 2025

For anglers seeking the ultimate in seclusion and a world-class flats fishery, it’s hard to top Playa Blanca on Espiritu Santo Bay.

Playa Blanca is actually Casa Blanca’s “sister lodge” and is also within the massive Sian Ka’an Biosphere. Guests take the 120 mile charter flight to the Isla Punta Pajaros airstrip at Casa Blanca, and are then transferred by vehicle another 10 miles south on the island. These 10 miles of jungle and secluded white sand beaches are what separates Playa Blanca guests from their nearest neighbor, Casa Blanca Lodge. The nearest settlement is the tiny fishing village of Punta Hererra, some 20 + miles away on the southern lip of Espiritu Santo.

Playa Blanca was originally built as an “Adventure Resort” for clients looking for a high level of seclusion and personal service in pristine natural surroundings. The beautiful beachfront property provided upscale accommodations, gourmet dining and such activities as snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, nearby Mayan ruins, and…oh by the way, if any one wants to go fishing… that can be arranged! However, word of the world-class fishery soon spread and the demand for the fishing far exceeded demand for the adventure resort. Playa Blanca has operated primarily as a fishing lodge for many years now, but retained all the other activities making this an ideal destination for anglers with non-fishing partners.

The fishing on Espiritu Santo is quite similar to Ascension Bay, but it is even more remote and less pressured. On rare occasions you might see a flats skiff out of Punta El Placir far to the south. However, it’s more common for Playa Blanca boats to go for weeks without seeing any other boats. For all intents and purposes, playa Blanca has exclusive use of literally hundreds of square kilometers of the Bay. The Playa Blanca guides were the first to explore and learn this still near-virgin fishery.

Espiritu Santo is rivaled only by Ascension Bay in its abundance and diversity of species. Bonefish are plentiful, and perhaps a bit larger in average size (particularly in Laguna Santa Rosa). Tarpon are found year round, although the bigger, migratory fish to 100 + pounds are most prevalent from April through November. Snook to trophy size (over 20 pounds) are found in the bay. And the permit fishery ranks on par with Ascension Bay – in other words, it’s one of the top permit fisheries in the world.

An added bonus to the miles of flats on the Bay proper, Playa Blanca has exclusive use of the renowned Laguna Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa features a reliable, year round fishery for juvonile tarpon, but also produces some of the largest bonefish found in Central America. Bones up to 33 inches (approximately 12 pounds) have been taken.

Playa Blanca also shares access to “the Tarpon Lagoon”. This is a special resource and to prevent too much fishing pressure from ruining it, access is strictly limited to a maximum of 3 boats (6 anglers) per week. And access may be further restricted at the fishing manager’s discretion if deemed necessary. The Tarpon Lagoon days are NOT GUARANTEED. Requests for a Tarpon Lagoon day must be made when you make your reservation. There is no extra charge and these are allotted on a first come basis.

Accommodations

Playa Blanca accommodates up to 14 anglers in 7 spacious guest rooms in cabanas situated on a sand dune bluff overlooking a palm studded white sand beach and the aquamarine hues of the Caribbean. The rooms are tastefully decorated in white with bright Caribbean accents and each have private verandas with hammocks, large baths, queen size beds, sitting area with couch and ceiling fans. Daily maid service is provided and laundry service is available for a nominal fee. Each room is unique in design and decor and may be reserved by room number.

The Playa Blanca dining room is located in the main lodge building and serves three meals a day (anglers usually take a cooler lunch in the boat) with light snacks available at your leisure. The menu features fresh seafood and a variety of expertly prepared regional specialties. A choice of two entrees is offered at each meal. Meals are served indoors or on the covered veranda per guest request. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

The bar is located in the restaurant and offers a changing atmosphere throughout the day. The bar offers indoor and outdoor services as well as covered seating on top of the building…a perfect spot to sip a tropical drink and watch the waves on the beach.

Recreation

Besides fishing, recreation at Playa Blanca revolves around its extraordinary beaches and beautiful Caribbean waters. Non-fishing guests may choose from Guided Snorkeling, Sailing, Sea Kayaking, Wind Surfing, Mayan Ruins Tour (the Chac Mool ruin site is a short walk from the lodge), or Bicycling. The spectacular and totally secluded white sand beach extends for miles in both directions and is protected by the Palencar Barrier Reef, providing great “beach combing” and ideal waters for swimming. And if all this tires you out, stretch out in your hammock on your private veranda or let the gently breezes and the sounds of the ocean lull you off into a Yucatan style siesta!

Accommodations Distribution

Deluxe Single Cabana – 1, Located on the dunes overlooking the beach and ocean, private veranda, 2 double beds, large bath, couch, indoor and outdoor seating.
Deluxe Duplex Cabanas – 2, Located on the dunes overlooking the beach and ocean, private veranda, 2 double beds or kings, large bath, couch, indoor and outdoor seating.

Transportation

The air charter from Cancun to the island takes 45 minutes. Then after a 5-minute boat ride across the bay, and another 30-minute drive in a vehicle (approximately 10 miles) south, you will arrive at Playa Blanca.

El Pescador Resort

Updated on

February 25, 2025

El Pescador Resort on Ambergris Caye in Belize is the oldest and most established fishing lodge in Belize. It’s also one of the premier fly fishing destinations for a “Grand Slam” and one of the only areas where tarpon can be caught on the flats, year-round. Ambergris Caye is considered an island, but it is really the southern most tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, and is tucked behind the northern reaches of Belize’s barrier reef. Ambergris Caye is separated from the rest of the Yucatan by a canal dug by the Mayan’s to facilitate trade routes, and tucked behind the Belize barrier reef. The constant high-quality fishing at El Pescador is primarily due to a nearly perfect location with the protection from the reef and a neo-tropical / semi-arid climate (averaging less than a 10 degrees F variation in temperature and 25 inches of rain, year-round).

El Pescador’s fishing program is based around a healthy resident tarpon population (10 – 90 pounds) that can be found in 3-5 feet of water virtually 12 months of the year. There are few angling experiences that can rival the excitement of stalking tarpon on the clear, shallow flats located 45 minutes by boat from El Pescador. When conditions are right you might see hundreds of tarpon on the flats and jump several in a day. In late summer (July, August & September) the tarpon migration practically doubles the tarpon population at El Pescador and larger tarpon, well over 100 pounds, are available on the flats and on the reef.

In addition to the some of most productive year-round tarpon flats in the world, El Pescador has excellent fishing for bonefish and permit on protected flats closer to the lodge, and along the mangrove edges in the lee of the wind. The bonefish typically average 1-3 pounds, but larger bonefish (up to 5-6 pounds) are available. Most of the permit are less than 15 lbs and are frequently sighted in schools, however, larger permit (up to 30 pounds) typically show up during the tarpon migration.

Snook are available in the lagoons and mangrove-lined creeks, but not abundant. Also prevalent in the lagoons, on the flats, or out on the reef (in season) are Jack crevalle, barracuda, sailfish, dolphin, tuna, king mackerel, grouper, snapper, big-eyed jacks, wahoo, sharks of all sizes, and scrappy ladyfish. For fishermen who want to fish offshore or the Belize barrier reef, El Pescador has several larger (38-52 foot) boats available for charter.

El Pescador prides itself on having a staff with some of the most experienced guides in Belize; many have been guiding at El Pescador for over 20 years! The guides have extensive knowledge of this fishery that comes from a lifetime dedicated to learning where the fish are and how they behave. El Pescador guides are also excellent technical fishermen and experts at efficiently and safely handling the 23-foot Mexican super-pangas flats boats you’ll be fishing from.

The El Pescador lodge building is comprised of the dining room, bar, fly shop (the only Scientific Anglers Mastery Series Shop in Belize), and 13 guest rooms. The accommodations at El Pescador are comfortable and spacious, not fancy. Each room has a ceiling fan, air conditioning, private bath with two sinks and a hot shower, and has a view of water. El Pescador introduced their luxury accommodations with a collection of 8, one, two, or three bedroom villas (click here for more information on the El Pescador Villas).

Guests at El Pescador or El Pescador Villas have access to a wide variety of amenities for your enjoyment after a great day of fly-fishing, snorkeling the reef, or inland adventure. The experienced staff at El Pescador, will be happy to help you arrange help you arrange any number of activities. At El Pescador the amenities include a restaurant, a bar, 3 fresh water swimming pools, massage services, exercise room, complimentary kayaks and bicycles, fishing instructor / host, SCUBA diving instructor, concierge, WI-FI, tour office, gift and sundry shop, and the only Scientific Angler Mastery Series Fly Shop in Belize. An attractive white sand beach stretches for miles in front of the lodge. Swimming off the El Pescador dock is preferable to wading because of the amount of seaweed that gets washed ashore.

El Pescador’s restaurant specializes in native Caribbean cuisine made with fresh local produce and seafood. The meals are “family style” and each evening El Pescador either features two entrees or a buffet at dinner. Evening meals are served on the outdoor deck or in the dining room and El Pescador encourages everyone to dine together in the evening.

Pescador also offers a variety of non-fishing activities that range from snorkeling to Scuba diving to almost a dozen Eco-tour options, like one day and over night sightseeing trips to ancient Mayan ruins located on main land Belize. The town of San Pedro is 10 minutes away by boat and is comprised of several hotels and bars and can be an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon or evening. Please call or email for more information on the non-fishing activities.

As you can see from the information provided, Angler Adventures has considerable experience making arrangements to Belize. We can assure you the lowest airfares to Belize City, round-trip including customs fees and tax.
