Elsey Usher Fishing operates around the stunning Caye Caulker, taking groups out to explore Belize’s unique scenery and enjoy its incredible angling. Captain Elsey Usher has been fishing here since he was a kid and knows all the best spots to bring in some monsters, whatever style of fishing you’re after.

Capt. Elsey prides himself on the variety of trips he offers. Pick a half or full day trip. Choose between the reefs and the bluewaters. Pull in some tasty Yellowtail Snapper in the shallows or drop lines for deep-water Grouper and even Swordfish. However you spend the day, you never have to go far in these deep, warm waters.

You will be fishing aboard Capt. Elsey’s 25’ Imemsa center console, the “Agua Mala.” The boat is powered by a clean-burning Honda engine to get you to the fishing grounds without the smelly diesel fumes. Once you get there, you’ll be given quality fishing tackle and a choice of lures of live bait fresh from the tank to tempt in even the fussiest fish.

Everyone is warmly welcomed aboard the Agua Mala, from families and kids to seasoned sportfishers. As long as you can swim, Capt. Elsey would love to show you his native seas. He provides snacks and drinks on every trip and even throws in a tasty lunch on full day charters.

Making your time onboard special is a point of pride for Capt. Elsey. He can meet you at a convenient dock on Caye Caulker and will fillet all your fish after your trip. As an added bonus, he can take you to the local Tarpon sanctuary to hand feed the Silver King himself. This is setting up to be a truly unforgettable fishing trip.

Esley was a great captain

Reef Fishing and Snorkeling Combo on October 3, 2025 • 2 adults

Esley was able to pick us up at the dock of our airbnb on time. we went and cast netted some live bait and almost immediately caught some baracuda. we probally caught 8 baracuda in about 1.5 hours. Then we went to snapper fish pulling in 2 lane snapper and one mutton. Then we went diving lobster hotels and ended up with 13 keeper lobster. after this we went searching for conch. we ended up with 4 in about an hour. after this we went to the reserve and snorkled with sharks/stingrays/fish/etc in crystal clear water.

Good day out

Full Day Deep Sea Fishing on July 31, 2025 • 2 adults

Saw some fly fish and several dolphins on the way out. Started with catching a few Barracudas. Got a Mahi Mahi on the line and it was almost up when a quite big Lemon Shark took the Mahi Mahi and got on the hook and we took it in and then released it. Two Tunas was on the hook but where lost at least one due to a now following Lemon Shark. Caught two Mahi Mahi of which one was big (and a mackerel). All of this turned into really good Sashimi, Cerviche, fried and curry!!

great time fishing

Full Day Deep Sea Fishing on October 29, 2025 • 2 adults

esley came to our dock to pick us up. we did a full day deepsea. getting out past the reef was tricky due to larger than normal waves. Once we got out there it was game on. we ended up cathcing 12 fish. mahi mahi and barracuda. once we docked, Esley filleted one of our fish so we could take it to Reinas and have it cooked for us. All in all, a great time fishing.

Sailfish and cuda!

Full Day Deep Sea Fishing on May 31, 2025 • 2 adults

First of all, Elsey was an amazing captain who was super friendly and knowledgeable. I brought in a sailfish within the first 10 min of the trip. Next, a large barracuda. After a few more hours of trolling, we decided to move to the reef where we pulled in a bunch more barracuda and a horse eye jack. Elsey cleaned the cuda for us and suggested we bring it to Pelican Sunset to cook it for us. Great call! I would definitely recommend Elsey and will book him again next time I'm in Caye Caulker.

A great day!

Half Day Trip - Deep Sea (AM) on January 6, 2025 • 2 adults

We are staying on the north side of Caye Caulker. The captain met us right at our own dock. We first went for some live bait. He found a spot and cast his net and caught a bunch of sardines. We were impressed with how easily he was able to round up some live bait. Then we were off and on our way. There were huge waves to get past as we were trying to get past the reef for some deep water fishing. He did a great job, and we felt very safe. Once we were in deep water, he set up trolling lines. It was an enjoyable ride as he went along trying to hook some bigger fish. Unfortunately no one told the fish that we were going to be there today. We then headed for a different spot to do some bottom fishing. We caught a massive mutton snapper. He was very helpful. We don't have much experience with this type of fishing. Once we were all finished for the morning, he headed back to our dock, and he cleaned and filleted our catch. He was great. He has been doing this for over 20 years and it shows. Highly recommend!
