It was quieter around the lodge this week, and a few of us snuck in some time off. The guests that were here had some excellent fishing, though. The weather was a little different as a mild system worked across Belize from the Southwest and brought some rain and west winds. Fortunately, the system is past us because it is forming into a real storm as it heads toward the Gulf of Mexico. But for us, we had some rain and some very calm conditions.
The calm, overcast days produced some good Tarpon fishing, casting at rolling fish up to 100 pounds. When we got some sun, the permit fishing turned on and was excellent! Our guests landed some nice Permit and some Snook in addition. The west wind can help with the Snook fishing.
So we ended up with 3 Grand Slams with all of this good fishing, with Katie, Marc, and Brent all achieving Grand Slams this week. Congratulations to all of you!
