Have You Ever Thought of Fishing From a Kayak?

Kayak fly-fishing is one of the rising trends among dedicated anglers. People who have heard about fishing at Glover’s Reef now have the opportunity to use our top-of-the-line, new fishing kayaks as an alternative to wading in from shore or fishing off of our dock. This allows fishermen to be able to fish in places where they might otherwise feel they need to hire a fishing guide and boat (at several hundred dollars/day). Read more about sport fishing at Glover's Reef, Belize and what tackle to bring on our Belize fishing page.

Kayak Fishing for Beginners!

Paddling a fishing kayak is easier than you might think, and we include this instruction. Fishing kayaks are wider than sea kayaks to prevent them from tipping over while casting. They also use anchors and pontoons to stabilize the craft.

We did the research to find the best fishing kayaks available. Our new fishing kayaks have tackle storage, rod holders, fish holds, anchors, and we also have specialized lifejackets. With the versatility and stealth advantages of a sit-on-top kayak, sport fishermen can more easily access our fantastic fishing spots. Most of the sand flats at Glover’s Reef are too deep to wade, so you need a fishing kayak to take advantage of all of the ocean fishing opportunities in this seldom-fished area of Belize.

Bonefish and permit are the most common game fish found inside the atoll. The atoll sees very little sportfishing, so the fish populations are thriving, and there is a school of bonefish that lives right off the beach at the end of our island.

Commercial fishing guides from the mainland sometimes bring their guests 35 miles out to the spot where we just wade or paddle in, less than 100 feet from our shore!
