Fishing

Belize has long been recognized as a World-class Fishing Destination, with the second longest Barrier Reef in the world, offshore Atolls, hundreds of Coral and Mangrove Islands, and endless miles of Lagoons, Estuaries and Rivers. And all teeming with a wide variety of Great Gamefish.

And Spiritwind Reef Resort is SERIOUS ABOUT FISHING!

Our experienced guides can lead you on endless Fishing Adventures; from simple "drop fishing" on the reef for Grouper, Snapper and a wide variety of colorful Reef Fish, to trolling the reef edge for trophy Barracuda, Amberjack, King Mackerel and more. You can "flyfish" the grass flats and coral rubble around the many reef islands for Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, Barracuda and Mutton Snapper; or you can troll the "bottomless" deep blue waters beyond the reef for Sailfish, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-mahi, Wahoo and much, much more!

The lagoons, estuaries and rivers near Spiritwind Reef resort abound with Tarpon, Snook, Cubera Snapper and Goliath Grouper. The fishing is EXCELLENT either by fly, spin or baitcasting.

"Stealth Fishing" the famous Gra Gra Lagoon by kayak is a special experience, with great fishing combined with the opportunity to see and silently approach Manatees, Crocodiles and other rare and beautiful wildlife.










Seasons

All of the gamefish in Belize can be caught every month of the year. There are however, seasonal fluctuations of individual species.

Big Snook are most abundant in the lagoons and river inlets, October through December, to coincide with annual mullet migrations. The same can be said for big Tarpon. On the flats, trophy Bonefish are most abundant from September through early December, however Permit are best pursued during the Fall months and again in early Summer. For big Cubera Snapper and HUGE Goliath Grouper?? Well, everyone knows that the full moons of April, May and June are the best!

Socially Responsible Harvesting

We practice "catch and release" fishing as much as possible. Even so, during the course of fishing and handling, some fish will be killed. But we insure that NOTHING is WASTED.

All species of fish are valuable sources of protein here in Belize. Therefore it is our policy that all fish retained or killed will become the property of Spiritwind Reef Resort, and will be used and/or freely distributed as food for the needy in our community.

A Word About Our Boats

Our Guides run safe and very seaworthy Panga Boats powered by dependable Yahama Outboard Engines. Each is licensed and inspected by the Fisheries Department of the Belize Government, and carries all recommended (USCG) safety equipment. Your security is our first priority.

The Fabled "Grand Slam"

The "Virgin Flats" of our Barrier Reef Islands present possibly the best chance in the world, for the Trifecta of Angling... the famous Grand Slam. There are few places on Earth where catching Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit (on the same day) is not only a possibility... but in fact a Probability! But the (un-fished) Southern End of Belize's Barrier Reef is just such a place.

Far from the "Touristy" areas to the North; there is little fishing pressure here. Our Pristine Grass Flats are Thick with Shoals of BONEFISH. And you will soon see that these fish are Not Shy! It's not unusual for them to chase each other, competing for your lure. Because most of them have Never Seen A Lure! Even "not so well" presented Flies are eaten readily. And if you are not a Fly Fisherman... No Worries! These Hungry "Bones" will attack Jigs, Spoons, Jerk Baits... they have even been known to strike Top Water! If you are looking for Bonefish, you’ve come to the right place.

TARPON are abundant on the Flats and in the Passes around these Coral Islands, all year long. It is not unusual to see large shoals of the "Silver Kings" lazily rolling in the morning sun. Most fish on the reef, run from 30 to 60 pounds; but 100 pound plus fish are not unusual... especially in the deeper water of the passes. Bright colored "Tarpon Flies" work well; as do Spoons, Jigs and a wide variety of other lures. But bring your "A" Game! Many tarpon are hooked, but relatively Few Are Landed!

The most coveted Jewel of the "Triple Crown" is the shy and elusive PERMIT! And our Southern Belize Islands are universally accepted as the Best Place on Earth to catch them. Running from 10 to 40 (or more) pounds, these powerful gamesters test even the most seasoned angler. Even though Permit have been known to take a wide variety of Lures; a High-quality Fly in a Shrimp or Crab Pattern, or a Bonefish Jig of Pink or Natural Brown color, will give you the greatest chance of a strike. For those seeking their first Permit, you could not make a better choice than Spirit Wind Resort Belize!

And while you are stalking your "Grand Slam Prize," you can expect to catch the ever present Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Mutton Snapper, Gag Grouper, and other fine Gamefish common to our beautiful grassy flats. In the evening, you are sure to have "Stories" to tell, over your authentic Belizean Dinner or at rest in your Air Conditioned Suite. All part of your Premium Belize Fishing Adventure!
