Got back from Belize a few days ago. Three months ago, I didn't even know where it was. Now, I want to live there. Very Caribbean.
The place to hunt the fish is in the "Cuts" between the inner and outer reefs. Current was usually not too bad. The strange thing is you have to wait until the viz gets bad in order to hunt. I am not use to hunting in 60-120 foot viz. The only time I shot fish is when it got down to 20-30. I managed a 25# Grouper and a 15# Pargo for all my efforts.
One of the neat things was swimming in a cut only to have a Manatee come up to me. Dude was a monster. I thought it was a bull seal when I first saw it. One other time, we were being swept out in a cut and we looked down to see a 200#+ Tarpon.
It took some getting use to was the sharks in the area. I saw two bulls, a galapagos (?) and a bunch of reef sharks. Gotta get in touch with the Miami boys and see how they deals with those critters.
The hostest with the mostest was Jack. A friend of mine from the old days when I was playing in the sand. He has a 3 bed w A/C, internet connection two blocks from the beach for $100 a night. Very very cool pad.

Getting there was easy with a stop in Dallas on AA.
All in all a very fun way to spend Spring Break with the kids!
