Daily Axios newsletters report on politics and breaking news, but the online publications rarely touch on climate change. So, when editors took a closer look at the subject, they were thrilled to report that, “The ocean is making a surprising comeback.” This announcement came from a consortium of marine biologists whose concerns about over-fishing, pollution, record-breaking global sea temperatures, and heatwaves have been growing.
What does that mean for avid deep-sea fishing fans? Plenty of healthy fish species await rods and reels, and if you make 2024 the year you intend to set some new personal records, there’s only one destination worth considering: Belize. Year-round weather at this epicenter of sport fishing is idyllic and visitors enjoy more than thrills; you could snag photo-worthy snaps of you catching barracuda, tarpon, bonefish, and more.
The Big Three
- Interested in bonefish? You’re in luck. Bonefish and Belize are made for each other since this fish is in season year-round, though optimal catch times are December through March. That means you’ve still got time to pursue your dream before 2024 ends.
- Dreaming of tarpon? All you need is the right bait and guide since, according to frequent visitors, tarpon “will eat just about anything when they are hungry and on the hunt.” Plan your Belize visit for late spring or early summer months (especially April and May), and you too can participate in the hunt.
- Ready for barracuda? Game fish royalty and barracudas are popular, underrated, and a huge challenge to catch, but nab one and you’ll be hailed a hero by envious spectators. Reef Conservation International points to barracuda’s “fearful reputation,” but if you’re ready to tangle with them, December through February are your best bets.
Stay where you play
What better base camp can a fishing fanatic ask for than a tropical atoll in the middle of the action?
