EL PESCADOR - PUNTA GORDA
The Fishing
El Pescador PG is host to the World's most diverse fishery for light tackle angling in both salt and fresh water. Whether Fly or Spin fishing is your game, the availability of permit, tarpon, snook and bonefish make Southern Belize one of few locations in the world that offers a legitimate GRAND SLAM opportunity all 12 months of the year. In addition to the big-4, El Pescador PG offers an opportunity for several additional saltwater species including barracuda, jack cravelle, lady fish, and snapper. We encourage you to take advantage of our wide variety of fishing opportunities.
The Toledo District of Belize is blessed with more shallow water fishing opportunities then other coastal areas. Through personal experience and a surveyed contact with fishermen from Toledo and abroad who frequent the fishery, we feel this fishery offers the most diversified angling opportunity in Belize.
The Port of Honduras Marine Reserve and Snake cayes will provide a great deal of angling opportunities with its 130 plus cayes, rivers, lagoons and coastal mangroves. The reserve is located just north of Punta Gorda Town. This is a short boat ride from El Pescador PG.
The Barrier Reef and Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve will prove to be a valuable resource. Two of the main attractions to this destination are the world class diving as well as the abundance of bonefish. The Maya Mountain's eastern watershed, which extends from the Stand Creek District south through the Toledo District, provides an abundance of fresh water and literally hundreds of rivers and streams to which El Pescador PG has access. Monkey River, Deep River, Payne's Creek, Golden Stream, Boden Creek, Moho River, The Temash and bordering Guatemala in the South is the Sarstoon, to highlight a few. Freshwater landlocked Tarpon are found in the inner lagoons of the Ycacos near Punta Negra as well.
The fishery of Toledo is probably best known for Permit; however, Snook and Tarpon are also in abundance. Naturally, there are also opportunities for the well known Snapper, Barracuda and Jack species. Fishing will take place in the flats around the inner reef cayes, lagoons, rivers and land locked lagoons. This natural diversity will better serve the interest of experienced traveler/angler.
Our guides are all from the Southern shores of Belize. They have been very assertive in mastering a new and exciting industry in shallow water sport fishing. They have already formed a tour guide association in Punta Gorda and have been instrumental in protecting their natu ral resources. The Port of Honduras Marine Reserve is the largest reserve in Belize and the guides assist Wardens in the monitoring and policing of the area.
Many of the Guides have been fly fishing for several years. In addition to their experience on the water they have continuously sought to upgrade their skills by organizing workshops and training sessions. El Pescador PG has actively worked to enhance the Guides Skills through additional training in both the Group format and one-on-one. Our partnership is committed to enhancing skills through training and protecting the resources we utilize for our sport.
