Flat Types

Belize flats fishing can be done in a wide variety of flats varying in composition from white sand, to coral patches to eel grass covered areas. All the flats around Tarpon Caye have firm bottoms which make for easy wading. You may choose to cast from the boat as your guide poles the flats and "hop out" of the boat to get a better casting position to catch a permit or bone. Fishing boats are equipped with casting decks and Brand New 2007 Yamaha 4-stroke motors which are quiet and clean running.

Flats fishing in the flats near our lodge go from 6 inches on top and drop 75-100 foot of water on the edges, which makes them a perfect habitat for permit. Permit can be found on these flats in good numbers. You can get to cast to up to 20 tailing fish on an average day; bonefish are also plentiful on the more sandy flats in this area.
