If you’re looking for an unparalleled fishing experience, Belize offers some of the best fishing grounds in the world. With its rich marine life, clear waters, and diverse fishing environments, Belize has become a favorite for anglers of all levels. From the flats teeming with bonefish and permit to deeper waters where you can chase after large game fish, Belize provides countless opportunities to reel in the catch of a lifetime. For a truly immersive fishing experience, Ray Caye Island Resort offers direct access to prime fishing spots along with the comfort and seclusion of a private island retreat.
Prime Locations for Fishing in Belize
Belize offers a range of fishing environments, from coastal flats to barrier reefs and blue waters. Each area is uniquely suited to different types of fishing, giving anglers plenty of options depending on their interests and skill levels.
The flats of Belize are among the most famous fishing areas. With vast stretches of shallow waters, these flats are home to prized species like bonefish, tarpon, and permit. The “Belize Grand Slam”—catching all three species in a single trip—is a dream for many fly-fishing enthusiasts. The flats around Ambergris Caye, Placencia, and Punta Gorda are known hotspots for these catches, and fishing here allows you to experience the thrill of sight-fishing in clear, shallow water.
For those looking to explore deeper waters, Belize’s barrier reef offers exceptional reef and offshore fishing opportunities. Here, you can target species such as snapper, grouper, barracuda, and kingfish. Beyond the reef, the waters deepen quickly, providing access to large pelagic species like tuna, mahi-mahi, and even marlin. Ray Caye Island Resort’s location makes it an ideal home base for both inshore and offshore fishing trips, giving you the chance to explore a variety of fishing environments without the crowds.
The unique location of Ray Caye allows our guests to access these diverse fishing areas with ease. With knowledgeable local guides, we ensure that each fishing excursion is personalized and rewarding. Whether you’re testing your skill with fly-fishing on the flats or heading offshore in search of larger game, our team is here to create a seamless and unforgettable experience.
The Best Time to Fish in Belize
Fishing in Belize is a year-round activity, but certain times of the year offer prime conditions for specific species. The peak season for tarpon, bonefish, and permit—popular targets among sport fishermen—typically falls between April and September. During these months, water temperatures and weather conditions are ideal for these fish, particularly for the large tarpon that frequent Belize’s waters.
For those interested in deep-sea fishing, the winter months from November to February are especially productive, with greater chances of catching tuna, wahoo, and mahi-mahi. The calmer seas and mild temperatures during these months provide comfortable and favorable conditions for offshore fishing. No matter the season, Ray Caye Island Resort offers excursions tailored to the time of year, ensuring you have the best possible experience and chances of success.
Spending time on the water also has a number of mental and physical benefits. Studies have shown that fishing can reduce stress and anxiety, increase mindfulness, and improve overall well-being. There’s a unique sense of calm and focus that comes with being on the water, surrounded by natural beauty. The act of fishing requires patience and concentration, helping to clear the mind and provide a break from daily pressures. For many, the joy of fishing lies not just in the catch but in the peaceful moments in between.
