The World Fishing Network just began a series on Belize last month (worldfishingnetwork.com/users/wfn/blog/wfn-delivers-three-new-shows-as-part-of-its-may-pr. I don't get that channel so not sure if they do any fishing around Corozal. I did find a teaser about the show

I am not sure where Lucky caught them but look at Captain Jaks on Face book. He is in Placencia..
When we were there in March they were not biting like that..

We fished off the dock a few miles north of San Pedro. We did OK but a local lady was really getting them. It was snapper mostly. It made a big difference if we used fresh bait or the bait they gave us from the resort. The shop there gave us frozen sardines but frozen bait (even thawed) is usually not good. We caught enough to eat for dinner on the nights we fished.

Fishing on the waterfront in Corozal is fun. You can catch a good variety of fish, but it is nothing like fishing on the reef. But with fishing, half the fun is just trying.

Hi Craig-- I am not the one to ask about Belize. We only go once or twice a year. But we are planning on moving there at the first of next year. We are taking a trip to explore a few places of interest (that we have not yet seen) in the fall of this year. Have you been anywhere near Hopkins or Dangria? Maybe you could tell us something about it?

Hey Captain Dave-- I love fishing! But I have never been ocean fishing on a boat. My husband lived in Tibee Island Georgia for a while and worked at fish camps and did a lot fishing there. Which is really weird because he was a suit and tie guy when I met him 8 years ago. He lived in Maine for a while too and did the same. I've always lived in Southern Missouri so most of my fishing is in lakes and streams.

I can't wait to see the Dangria area. We have always gone to San Pedro because we are both divers and get some pretty good deals there. Last year we spent our time in the San Ignacio area. But our plans to move to San Pedro changed a little when my husband decided he wanted to have some chickens and a garden. Me, being from a small town (Population 317), I just want that peace again. I hear Hopkins is a great place to get that. Uptight corporate America is why we are moving. I was a government employee most of my adult life and he is the Corporate Compliance Officer for a non profit. It just seems like such a waste of time these days.

Fishing for a living!! Now that's a life. Can't wait to meet you. I bet you have some real fish stories.

Great day to all.
