Fishing in Ambergris Caye

Fishing in Ambergris Caye is one of the most authentic experiences you can get in Belize. The island is known for hosting fun water activities, but these tourist attractions mainly revolve around the beach. This time around, try going a few miles off the coast with a local guide, and let the locals show you how to make the most of the area’s best fishing action.
 
Thanks to the tropical climate, fishing in Ambergris Caye varies only from great to amazing. Visit the crystal clear flats and you’ll be able to target Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit. Head out to deeper water, and you could be battling Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Kingfish, or even Marlin. Fishing is good year round, but you should time your trip between June and early September to catch the peak season. 
 
With so many game fish in the area and different fishing grounds to explore, it’s impossible to cover everything in just one trip. A full day trip will allow you to target a variety of fish, while a four-hour trip will be enough if you’ve got your mind set on a particular fish.
 
The best departure point is in San Pedro, which is easily accessible even if you’re located on the mainland. You can take a 20-minute flight or a 90-minute ferry ride from the marina in Belize City.
 

Rules & Regulations

A fishing license is necessary for all anglers. Some guides cover licenses for their guests, some don’t – get in touch before the trip to confirm your guide’s policy. One of the reasons these waters are so bountiful is that anglers are doing their best to preserve the fish population by releasing their catches. Your guide will let you know which species you can take if you’re planning a fish feast after the trip.

Ambergris Caye Fishing Seasons

January
The beginning of the year offers the best action at the reefs. Your main target on these adventures will be Grouper, Snapper, Barracuda, and Jack.
 
February
Besides excellent reef action, February brings great fishing on the flats. If there’s no wind, you can land a huge Permit.
 
March
In March, on top of great Permit action, there’s going to be even more Tarpon and Bonefish to go after. Get ready for feisty bites!
 
April
Let’s not forget about the offshore scene! A few miles off the coast, you’ll have the chance to go after Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo.
 
May
In May, you’ll enjoy excellent fishing action, no matter where you go. Local favorites are always large schools of Tarpon, Permit, and Bonefish.
 
June
Reef fishing is amazing throughout the whole summer. But if you’re missing big game action, go offshore for Mahi Mahi.
 
July
In July, the water is warm and calm, which is the perfect moment to try out fly fishing. Visit the flats and catch Tarpon on a fly!
 
August
This is your chance to catch the biggest Tarpon. This time of year, some of them are heavier than 100 pounds!
 
September
Take a trip at the beginning of the month and enjoy the last wave of the Bonefish, Cubera Snapper, and Permit spawning season.
 
October
This may be a good time to revisit offshore fishing spots. Target Tuna, Wahoo, and Barracuda!
 
November
Big game fishing isn’t over yet! Besides Tuna and Wahoo, you can also target White and Black Marlin.
 
December
End the year fishing the reefs for Snapper and Grouper. You can also catch Ladyfish, Tarpon, and Jack on the flats.

What anglers said about fishing in Ambergris Caye

This trip took place during off-season, and the sargasm is pretty bad. This information was from a local, but, it sounds like the governmental entity that was in charge of helping take care of it, spent their budget on a harvester that they only operate 2-3 days out of the week. Now there's no budget to clean up the beaches and it is just stacking up as the harvester isn't catching it before it gets to the beach. It's sad that they are letting it deteriote. We love belize.

Do your fishing early on in your stay, you will have a lot of fish to eat for the week. Many places will cook the fish for you, free of charge, so long as you buy their sides. I recommend Martha’s or Robin’s. If you want a private experience, Captain Willie was great. Very knowledgeable.

In smaller boats expect to fish inside the reef. Depending on species you are after, trolling for barracuda or bottom fishing inside the reef has always been productive.
