Our first trip to Belize was great. The cold weather wasn't ideal, but we were put on fish everywhere Edlin took us. His local knowledge is second to none. We had shots at snook, tarpon and bonefish. The bonefish bite was hot for a while, the tarpon and snook weren't as willing, but that's fishing. The seas were rough and we safely navigated our way out to some beautiful flats and had an absolute blast sight fishing for bones. I was having trouble seeing them and Edlin has eyes like an osprey and taight me what to look for. I lost count of how many we landed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.We're thrilled to hear that your first trip to Belize was a memorable one, even with the cool weather and rough seas. Captain Edlin's local knowledge and sharp eyes truly make a difference, and we're glad he was able to put you on fish and help you dial in on spotting bone fish on the flats.Sight fishing in those conditions isn't always easy, so losing count on how many you landed is a win in our book. We appreciate you trusting us on the water and hope to fish with you again on your next visit to Belize. Tight lines!🎣 🌊
Captain Edlin put us on lots of fish. Reef fishing was excellent: Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Jacks, Barracuda. We fed ourselves and many locals for several days. Outstanding!
Hi Rexford, Thank you for such an awesome review! We're thrilled to hear that Capt. Edlin put you on plenty of fish and that reef fishing delivered in a big way.Spanish Mackrel, Red Snapper ,Jack , and Barracuda - that's a solid day on the water! It's especially great to know your catch went a long way and was shared as well.That's what fishing in Placencia is all about great action, fresh meals, and memorable experiences. We truly appreciate you choosing Placencia Fishing Charters for your fly/spin trip.It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we look forward to to getting you back out there for another outstanding day soon.Tight lines! 🎣 🌊
In very testing rain, Edlin did fantastic job avoiding it as much as possible with a great experience in the lagoon and mangroves of the Belize jungle. Did get the tarpon in the boat, but fun with Snook at the end of the day made for a great day with a captain who was great fun to spend time with on the water. Thanks Edlin for a memorable day 😁
What an awesome place! It was our first time to Belize and did not have a clue who to go out with but we lucked out and booked the right guide. Edlin was an awesome guide who is a die hard fisherman. Told him I wanted to do spinning gear for bonefish, tarpon and maybe get lucky with a permit and we landed all three species for a Grand Slam. The trip exceeded my expectations and I wish I could have gone out for another day.
Edlin is an excellent guide and fun to fish with
