What a great week on Ambergris Caye! We had our first cold front of the fall, and it was glorious. Winds out of the north most of the week made it feel much cooler on the island, even though the temperatures didn't change too much. It allowed us to get over to the mainland more often, and we caught some nice snook.
Keith brought a crew down from Houston for a quick trip, and we had a great time with many folks experiencing Belize and El Pescador for the first time. They had a lot of fun learning to saltwater flyfish and caught many fish in just two days of fishing. We look forward to seeing them all again soon.
Some long-term friends and clients from Virginia, Dennis Stanley, and his family and friends, came in to enjoy the great weather, also.
The eclipse was a mixed bag for us and came through while most of our guests were out fishing. The staff had fun finding different ways to look at it. Some of them turned out great, especially how the light filtered through the palm fronds in moon-like shapes. Some guests got excellent video through holes in the clouds that worked perfectly.
We had quite a bit of sun this week, which led to good permit fishing in a wide variety of sizes. The tarpon weren't biting great, but we saw many of them, hooked a good number, and landed enough! Overall, I can't complain!
