Big Tarpon weights are calculated by measuring the tail fork to end of lip and the girth in inches and using the BONEFISH & TARPON TRUST, Tarpon Weight Calculator. This way the fish are not taken into the boat and are released in good condition.
Anglers fishing BRL’s Long Caye Outpost Lodgehave also been doing very well while enjoying the private island experience and our typical variety fishing; Big Tarpon in the nearby Channels and Bays, Permit and Bonefish on the Flats and Reef areas, small Tarpon, Snook, Cudas, Snappers, Jacks and even a few Look Down, Puffer and Toad fish.
Some new airlines and new schedules have recently been added to flight schedules to Belize. The early arrivals and BRL’s proximity to the Belize International airport can get you a full fishing day on arrival, and a full day fishing on your last day. Late arrivals and departure flights also afford you more fishing time at BRL.
WestJet now flies from Toronto to Belize. Southwest from Hobby in Houston and from Denver. United from Chicago, Houston and Newark. American from Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and Charlotte. Delta from Atlanta and Los Angeles. Copa from Panama. Tropic Air from Cancun, Merida, San Pedro Sula. Please check out airlines to Belize for some very convenient flights to come fishing at BRL. And since BRL is just a few minutes from the international airport we can get you to the Lodge without small plane connections or deep sea crossings.
The fishing experience is always good, often great. Looking forward to hearing from you very soon.
Tight lines,
Mike Heusner
