Florida, Belize, Guatemala... what a trip!
Hey guys,

I wanted to share a trip I disappeared on this winter. It started as an attempt to catch myself a tarpon in Belize, but ended up as so much more!

Here's the link:

Here are some spoilers...

After sort of failing over and over in Florida...

I emerged from Belize with some incredible fish stories...

... and then did some sightseeing in Guatemala to celebrate!

After all of that I added 15 new species to my life list =). Hope you enjoy the read or picture-skimming, whatever you're into!

Spectacular trip. Good for you.

Loved reading all about it, and the great collection of pictures completes the visualization.

NICE Permit!

.......... see ......... other people see "nervous water" too. http://ontarioshorefishing.com/forum/Thr...ht=nervous

How was the Chicken Beer?

Cheers,

<>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><>

See you on the river.

Awesome sauce. See, I told you it was a waste of time trying to get a Tarpon in Florida Tongue

Need to go back to Belize and catch a Permit and visit Guatemala for some freshwater fishing (plus Tikal, Flores, Antigua...etc).

I see the link to your "next adventure"...not posting it here? Or the small fish not worthy? Tongue

Malama o ke kai

Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.

Life List: 577 species and counting (2016: 91 new species)

haha OT, the chicken beer was actually pretty awful... at least I tried it! It's their national beer, that rooster face is everywhere!

And Ken I really did get super lucky with the weather and the permit were a breeze. Also, Kennan said they had just showed up within the one or two weeks before I arrived. I guess there's not usually a winter bite for them? Anyways I hope my day can be somehow replicated because it was crazy!

And oh those small fish are worthy..... hundreds of hours of worthy!!! Just pacing myself hahah
