What’s biting in Belize
January is the middle of the dry season in North and Central Belize and is often considered to be the perfect time of year to visit. Tarpon are prolific, with up to 50–75 being spotted per day!
The dry season continues, although the weather can be changeable. Flats fishing is excellent as long as there isn't too much wind, while reef fishing is consistently very good. Look out for huge Wahoo over the reefs.
March can be windy in Belize. There's plenty of Bonefish around, though, with Tarpon appearing on calmer days and a fair amount of Permit schooling up. Reef fishing remains excellent for Wahoo.
April is the beginning of the prime flats fishing season, which lasts until October. The water is calm and clear, while rising temperatures may be marked by brief rain showers. Look for King Mackerel on the reefs.
May is usually the hottest time of year in Belize, but that doesn't stop the fish. This is a great time of year for enormous schools of Bonefish on the flats, with Tarpon present on the flats and the reefs.
Temperatures are high, with morning rain showers bringing a welcome relief. Bone fishing is at its peak, while Tarpon is still there to be caught on the flats and the reef. This makes for a summer holiday you won't forget!
This is lobster season, and the numerous festivals along the coastline won't let you forget it! With warm weather broken by showers and cool breezes, this is real summer. Flats and reef fishing are extremely good.
Don't miss the International Costa Maya Festival in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. Escape the crowds and you'll find that this is also peak season for Tarpon, with catches reaching over 100 lbs!
The celebrations continue, with locals celebrating both the Battle of St George's Caye day and Independence day. Will you be having your own little celebration by taming the biggest Tarpon of your angling career?
The fish on the flats are generally larger and more aggressive at this time of year. Permit fishing is heating up, while Tarpon and Bonefish are still breaking lines whenever they can. Jack Crevalle and Snook are also plentiful.
Deep sea fishing is as good as it gets in Belize in November, and the Belize Game Fish Association celebrates this with their annual Bluewater Classic. Look out for Marlin, Tuna, and Belize's famously large Wahoo.
Peak tourist season means it can be hard to find accomodations. But secure your lodging, and we think you won't be in your room for long — not with Bonefish, Tarpon, Jacks, Wahoo, Groupers, and Snappers all biting.
