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.

Trophy fish with best captain & boat ever!
Full Day Deep Sea Fishing on August 13, 20262 adults

It was ah-mazing. We knew from recommendations that Esley was a Caye Caulker treasure and the best at his passion of angling in the gorgeous Belize waters. Esley picked us up at our hotel dock at 8 a.m. sharp, and took us to a mangrove well north of the split where he cast a net and caught our live bait for the day. Esley is patient, knowledgeable, and kind. My son caught his dream fish - two feisty barracuda and 1 mahi-mahi (which Esley cleaned for us at the dock to have our hotel chef for our dinner). But! The best fishing moment of our lives was when we caught a trophy-sized blue marlin. It put up a non-stop fight for its life; breaching the water and then diving deep under the boat. With expert help maneuvering the boat and guidance, and a 2 hour fight, we brought the 250-300lb, 10-foot-long blue marlin to the side of the boat, removed the hook, and released the most magnificent creature we have ever seen. We can’t recommend Esley enough and will definitely be back. Do not hesitate to book this incredible captain and his boat. He is the best in Belize! Thank you, Esley

Great Fishing Trip with Esley Usher
Half Day Trip - Reef (PM) on April 19, 20261 adult

I went out with Esley Usher on a 4 hour reef fishing trip on April 19th and we caught 14 Lane Snapper in 4 different locations near the reef. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was the solo guest. He picked me in his boat at my hotel's pier. Esley is a life long Caye Caulker expert and knows these waters! If you want to CATCH FISH go out with Esley.

From a small boy living on an island of Caye Caulker, I loved the Caribbean Waters. My father taught me everything I know. I started fishing when I was 14 years old and from there on my life has always been about fishing. I know the waters around Caye Caulker like the back of my hand. I have shown many of my clients some of the best experiences in these beautiful waters of Caye Caulker, Belize. You never know what to expect! Please note that Caye Caulker is 45 minutes away from Belize City. For cruise ship passengers interested in fishing with me, you would have to take the water taxi from Belize City to Caye Caulker - and you would only have time for a half day fishing then take the water taxi once again to get back to Belize City port on time!
