The Fishing There have been some great fishing and record-breaking days despite some warm rainy weather. Since the hurricanes of recent years the flats have been producing an incredible amount of fish. As always the reef fishing in December and January was epic! Guides are seeing more fish than they can remember. On November 26, 2002 Scott Bush from West Chester County, NY landed 54 Bonefish on a fly with Carlos. This follows the record Tarpon of 187 lbs. landed by Larry Boyd of Grand Junction, CO with Nesto. Scott Rogers in Punta Gorda took a record Permit that tipped Scully’s scale at 36 lbs. We are looking forward to one of our best seasons yet. We will keep you up to date with our weekly fishing report at www.elpescador.com

The Lodge and Villas at Ambergris Caye As some of you know, we have made a lot of improvements to the main lodge recently. Air-conditioning has been added to all lodge rooms as well as renovations to lodge bathrooms. We remodeled our restaurant, moving the Anglers Bar to a bigger separate room on the north side of the lodge. This has given us room to add a pool table, dartboard, music, TV/VCR and a guest computer for checking emails or surfing the web. This is a wonderful place to relax and cool down after a great day of fishing or diving. In addition to our lodge rooms the luxurious 1,2 and 3 bedroom Villas offer perfect accommodations for groups or families traveling together. Check out both on our new website www.elpescador.com

Punta Gorda Our sister lodge in southern Belize offers the best of both salt and fresh water, light tackle angling for healthy, untouched populations of Permit, Tarpon, Bonefish and Snook. In addition to world-class fishing, our Nature Preserve at El Pescador Punta Gorda is host to numerous eco-adventures. Visiting both our Ambergris and Punta Gorda lodges on the same trip has added a new dimension to the packages we can now arrange for our guests. Space is limited for Punta Gorda due to the great fishing and wonderful location. Book early to ensure you get the dates you want. View our web site at www.elpescadorpg.com
