Report: Well we've finally come to the end of our rainy season and we're having almost NO high-pressure systems rolling through. Which means we back into the classic 9 months of PERFECT BELIZE weather. The bonefish have moved back onto the flats and the Permit are still cruising and holding just of the main flats edges during the day with feeding times accruing typically around 6:00 am to 9:00 am and in the late afternoon between 4pm and 5:30 or so.  

The heat of the day provides a good time to fish the flats edges in the 2 to 5 foot ranges and pick up bonefish and permit with bait fish patterns such as the Clouser Minnow or similar.  

The juvenile Tarpon are still cruising in large numbers around Savanna Caye averaging in the 25 to 40lb range up to 3 or 4 feet range. They're really taking large Stu Apte Tarpon flies and the tarpon toad tied with a rattle variations is working well for them on fly. Thats all for now for the Belize Fishing Report.
