Tropical Light-Tackle Treat

The virtually undiscovered Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize is a haven for some of the world’s best light-tackle saltwater fishing. The flats off Ranguana, Lime and Sapodilla Cayes harbor a year-round abundance of 10-30 pound permit. Add trophy tarpon and some of the Caribbean’s best bonefishing and you’ve got yourself a Placencia grand slam. But there’s plenty more! Just a 45-minute boat ride away, in the blue water lying off the Belizean Reef, tuna, mackerel, snapper, grouper, barracuda and jack crevalle will keep you in reel ecstasy.
