Costa Verde Flats

Member since July 2023 San Pedro, Belize
Background
Costa Verde is operated by Capt Tayo and the crew, we are 100% local Belizean ,born and raised in the Waters of Belize, The miles of flats, mangroves, lagoons, and channels inspired me to become a professional sport fishing guide and help to train more guides, for the future generation. Now I'm sharing my 21 years of experience and skills, so our anglers can make their dreams come true!
Techniques
Flats fishing is what I love could be with fly rod or spinning rod. With flies, artificial plugs or bait.
