Belize Fishing
Odyssey:
Belize City to
Punta Gorda |
Ten days (and nights, too, if conditions are right) of nothing but
honest Belize fishing
-- fly fishing or light tackle only, concentrating on bones, tarpon,
permit and snook, with jacks, snappers, tuna and Barracuda thrown
in for variety.
(Note: 7 day/6
night/5 day trips may also be available, space permitting -
contact us for info.)
|
|
|
Trips are limited to two anglers, one trip
per month.
All trips begin in
Belize City. If you arrive at Belize International Airport
before 3 p.m., you'll be picked up and driven to the Belize City
docks to meet your guide and depart that day.
|
|
|
|
|
(If you arrive after 3 p.m., you'll spend the night in Belize City
before departing from the Belize City docks early the next
morning. ) |
| |
|
Your trip ends 10 days
later with a flight from Punta Gorda Town to Belize International for
connection with your international flight. |
| |
|
What happens in between is
entirely up to the wind, the weather, the tides, your guide, you --
and the fish. |

Lodging, Meals and Other Mundane Details

Lodging is in a variety of small hotels --
none of them fancy, but all of them clean and comfortable with
shower facilities (some with hot water, some without).
Meals are provided, and focus on fresh fish and seafood (conch
and lobster in season) and Belize basics such as coconut rice,
tomatoes, eggs, tortillas -- and beans, of course.

more likely than email access. (However, marine radio
service is always available in the event of an emergency.) |
