Since 1974, El Pescador has been a cornerstone of fly fishing and a serene haven on Ambergris Caye, Belize. Founded on a passion for angling and exceptional hospitality, it has become a world-class resort known for rich history and a warm, familial atmosphere. El Pescador is one of the top saltwater flats fishing programs in the world and offers traveling anglers the whole package: great fishing, courteous staff, outstanding guides, and wonderful accommodations.
At El Pescador you can achieve the anglers ultimate dream – a Grand Slam of bonefish, tarpon and permit. El Pescador’s flats are world- renowned for offering the opportunity to sight cast to Tarpon. You can cast the lagoons for lady fish or snook, troll the reef for king fish or barracuda or jig the bottom for snapper and grouper. This is fly fishing and light tackle fishing at its best!
July, August, and September – Usually calm and warm. Great fishing. Lots of bones, lots of tarpon well over 100 pounds. We consider this the best tarpon season of the year. The most and the largest tarpon have been caught in August and September.
October – Lots of tarpon, large and aggressive. Bones are larger and more aggressive too. Big schools of jack crevelle are also on the flats now and it is a good month for the larger permit. Reef fishing fair to good. If there is a lot of rainfall on the mainland, snook arrive on the flats in large numbers. The lodge record for the most tarpon landed in a single day was in October with 7 tarpon landed and another 5 jumped.
November – There are plenty of 60-100 pound tarpon on the flats. Jack crevelle and bone fishing are also good.
December – If the sun stays out there are plenty of barracuda, bones, and tarpon (40-80 pounds) on the flats with jacks and ladyfish too. Full moon brings grouper and snappers to the reef to spawn.
