Bonefishing Season

Bonefish are present in equal numbers throughout the year - there is no clearly preferable time for bonefishing.

Permit Season

Permit are also present throughout the year, although permit fishing tends to be more predictable when the prevailing winds are most consistent - generally in the winter, spring and summer.

Tarpon Season

Tarpon fishing is quite seasonal as tarpon are migratory. Our tarpon numbers begin to increase in April and May and drop off in September or October. Peak tarpon months are June, July, and August, and some resident tarpon are around throughout the year.

Grand Slam Season

June, July and August are our best overall fishing months primarily because there are good numbers of all three species available. Summer temperatures are in the low to mid 90's and a steady trade wind generally makes the weather very comfortable. Our centrally air-conditioned rooms make for comfortable sleeping throughout the summer.

Other fishing

Another favorite sport fish, the snook, can be found in the small mangrove creeks around the atoll.  Add one of these to your grand slam and make it a "Super Slam" or just pursue them for the thrill and challenge of it. 

Barracuda are an underrated sport fish present in large numbers throughout the year.  Reef species including snapper, grouper and jacks are also abundant year-round.

Weather

Temperatures throughout the year range from 75-95 degrees (average 84). Water temperatures average 79-80 degrees in the winter and 83 degrees in the summer. A comfortable southeasterly trade wind blows throughout most of the year, and tends to pick up in March and April.  June is called the 'rainy season' in Belize but this relates primarily to the mainland rainforest and has little effect on the off shore atolls. The weather in the fall and early winter can be effected by 'northers' or cold fronts.
