We had a quiet week at El Pescador. We spent more time working on projects than fishing this week. But we enjoyed the time that we spent with guests on the water. Some first-time fly fishers were very successful with bonefish, and we caught quite a few Jack Crevalle this week. The permit that we did catch were excellent fish. We didn't put as many boats out as usual, but we had some really good fishing for the folks who did get out there. Another great week in Belize!
