Exotic
Caye Beach Resort Playador
Ocean Front Condos Ambergris Caye, Belize.
Fishing
 The fishing
diversity that the waters of Belize offer are extraordinary. Within
minutes of the resort are 3 very different forms of sport fishing: deep
sea fishing for Marlin, Tuna, and Wahoo, reef fishing for Snapper,
Grouper, and Jack, and fly fishing for Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon. The
staff at Exotic Caye Beach Resort know and understand the needs of anglers
and will place you with experienced guides, most of whom grew up here,
fishing the waters off Ambergris Caye. Whether you are cruising the deep
blue in a 52' tuna boat, fishing the flats in a 2 man skiff, or working
the inside of the reef with some friends, you will be landing a champion's
catch.All three types of sport fishing are easily accessible to you and the
season is open year round. However, different times of the year do offer
greater opportunities to specifically catch larger and greater numbers of
fish. Outlined below is a basic description of the fishing environments
and the best times of year for that type of fishing.
 
Deep Sea
Fishing
Deep sea
fishing is a year round sport off Ambergris Caye. Just one half mile
offshore, past the barrier reef, the water depths plunge quickly to well
over 1000 feet. The generous food supplies of the reef and the outer
atolls combined with deep water make for sport fishing at its best. Marlin
is plentiful 12 months of the year. Sail fish are usually best in early
spring and King Mackerel is best in late spring. The best time to catch
Wahoo is during the winter months. The 52' Sea Boots will keep you in
comfort while you fish the exciting waters off the coast of Belize. The
Tuna or Mackerel you land will be dinner tonight back at the
resort.
Reef Fishing
 The barrier reef that hugs the shore along Ambergris Caye
means that your ride to the fishing spots are just minutes away. The
waters inside and just outside the reef are teeming with Snapper, Grouper,
Jack, and Barracuda . Snapper, Jack, and Barracuda are caught in large
quantities year round and the best season for Grouper is during the winter
months. Our experienced guides will amaze you with their knowledge of the
right baits and lures, when, how, and where to cast, and most importantly
tips on how to make sure that the big one doesn't get away. Fish a full
day and our guides will pull ashore on a deserted strip of beach and grill
your catch for lunch over an open fire. Bring home what's left and our
chef will gladly prepare a feast for the famished.
Fly
Fishing
 Because
Belize is still largely unknown, saltwater fly fishing aficionados have
the run of some of the largest tarpon flats outside of Florida, over 200
square miles. It is quite common for you to be the only angler in sight
for days on end. Based on the season and current weather, our guides will
skillfully place you into the most advantageous positions to both see and
catch these fish.
The leeward side of
Ambergris Caye is home to a system of estuaries and the corresponding
flats which are home to incredible numbers of Tarpon, Bonefish, and
Permit. The best season for Tarpon is May through November. Bonefish and
Permit are caught in the lagoons year round. You can expect bonefish up to
6 pounds, Permit ranging between 5-30 pounds, and Tarpon in the 40-80
pound range.
