Fishing in Placencia

Placencia, Belize is a true angler’s paradise, celebrated for its incredible range of saltwater fishing opportunities amid stunning Caribbean beauty. Set along a pristine peninsula with powdery white sand beaches, Placencia sits at the gateway to the world’s second largest barrier reef and a vast network of tropical flats, lagoons, and mangroves. Here, you’ll find a diverse and healthy fishery that makes Placencia fishing charters one of the region’s most sought-after experiences.

The area is world-renowned for permit fishing, offering some of the best chances anywhere to target these elusive fish, whether tailing solo or in schools across the crystalline flats. But permit aren’t the only draw—Placencia’s waters teem with bonefish, tarpon, snook, barracuda, jacks, snapper, grouper, king mackerel, and wahoo. Offshore, experienced anglers can chase pelagic species like sailfish, mahi-mahi, and yellowfin or blackfin tuna, depending on the time of year.

One of Placencia’s greatest strengths is its year-round fishing potential. With the barrier reef, shallow flats, and deeper blue waters all within easy reach, every trip can be tailored for fly fishing, light tackle, bottom fishing, or trolling. Local guides are well known for their expertise, deep knowledge of the ecosystem, and commitment to conservation, ensuring your experience is both successful and sustainable.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro aiming for a grand slam or a family looking for a fun day on the water, Placencia fishing charters combine abundant marine life, breathtaking scenery, and the warm hospitality of Belize for an unforgettable adventure.

What anglers said about fishing in Placencia

For permit, be prepared for accurate casting and listening to your guide. I fly fished for permit for the first time and was not as well prepared as I thought. The guides are great and will coach you, but at the end of the day it is up to you to cast accurately to these fish.

Having an experienced fishing guide makes all the difference… remember it’s fishing no guarantees … it’s a privilege just to be able to go fishing where some folks can’t…leave you ego on the dock ..watch..listen…learn and do what the guide says …lastly have positive energy ?

Be ready to move the trip if needed! We shifted a day instead of settling for a 1/2 day in the lagoon and it paid off as we were able to go to the inner reef for the majority of the next day. Forecast is unreliable even day to day so wake up early and see what the day offers!

Be patient. If the wind isnt moving, it gets very hot, and the fish are able to see swivel/weights/etc. As soon as the wind picked up a little, we moved back to the spot we started at, and caught the fish that wouldn’t bite in the morning.

Plan a few days this time of year. Wind prevented a few trips offshore if that’s what you are looking for. It’s a nice place.

Took the inner reef trolling trip. The captain stops to catch live bait, before he brings you to different spots of interest. Hang on to your rod and be ready to the reel the fish in! These fish are strong for their size, so when you land a big one, it can be a workout to bring them to the boat. Use good sunscreen and\or long sleeve shirts and pants!

This was not a fishing trip, it was a CATCHING trip. Captain Doug had us on the fish the whole time. None stop catching all types of fish. From picking us up on the beach right in front of our house to a fabulous lunch served on the boat it would be hard to find a better choice!

Wonderful trip with the captain Edlin and Dane. Both were very knowledgeable experts on the fishing and area - both with family roots in the Belize fishing scene. We had fun with some tuna, rainbow runners, various snapper, barracuda, etc. As a bonus we saw turtles, dolphin, and were entertained with a shark catch.

Edlin was a great captain. Its was 5 of us, we probably should have booked a bigger boat but we fit okay. He knew all of the spots! This man speaks the language of the sea. He fileted the fish right on our dock and gave us some pointers on bait to use off of our dock. We went snorkeling as well!

This was my 4th fishing charter and the first time that a captain put us on the fish. We caught quite a lot of fish and have been eating them all week. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the reef. He was patient teaching me and my three daughters how to catch the fish. The only sad part was not getting the 4’ barracuda in the boat. I would highly recommend him for your trip.

It was too windy to get out to the reef, so we switched to fishing in the lagoon. Captain Bob picked us up at the dock close to our Hotel. We fished hard, but only caught one Jack. Captain Bob was extremely informative on the local flora and fauna and was entertaining to top it off. Disappointed we didn’t catch more fish, but these guys did the best they could based on the weather conditions. Would recommend them.

Dane and Daryl were great!!!! I would definitely suggest asking for them when booking. My wife and 12 yr old with us and they were patient and very helpful with all of us. They explained the game plan for the day, and we did everything exactly as they planned. From catching bait, to drift fishing, trolling, deep drops, etc, they were perfect. We caught enough fish to feed our group of 19, and had plenty to spare. I will definitely use these two in the future!!

Had a great time! Capt. Edlin has a vast knowledge of fishing in the area but also keeps everyone engaged with tales of local adventures. I think he knows everyone in Placencia. We had to dodge some rough weather and grind through low tide but Capt. Edlin held in there and got everyone a fish. Thanks for everything.
