Grand Slam House
THE FISHING
The San Pedro fishing area is made up of large mangrove islands and bays, semi soft marl, healthy turtle grass flats and hard packed sand flats which are excellent for wading. The reef side, north of San Pedro, heading all the way up to the Mexican border, is also a great bonefish habitat. If the weather is calm, a day up at Rocky Point, where the reef angles into the island, is extremely productive and makes a fabulous day trip. Because many of the flats consist of a marl based bottom, the majority of the bonefishing is done from the skiff. There are some hard packed areas that are excellent for wading that are very productive so guests just have to let their guide know that this is something you’d like to do.
The tarpon fishing to the west of San Pedro is consistently some of the best found anywhere. The Savannah Flats are world famous for their ability to produce tarpon year round. Juvenile fish in the 25 to 60 pound range can frequently be found throughout the year, with much larger tarpon showing up in the late spring and summer. The spring also means permit when fishing San Pedro. Not many people know it but excellent numbers of permit show up around Ambergris Caye from late April until the fall. Virtually all of our 25 pound + permit have been caught during this time frame. Permit will usually be found in about 6 to 12 feet of water so all shots will be from the bow of the boat as opposed to wading. The coastline has a vast array of creeks, lagoons and brackish estuaries that hold every imaginable species of fish that live in these environments. Inside the reef, the cayes, sandbars and tidal flats are a dynamic fish producing habitats. If you’re serious about chasing a “Slam”, there are few places better.
BOATS AND EQUIPMENT
The flats skiffs used in San Pedro are 23 foot Mexican panga skiffs powered by 60 horse powered engines. The boats have rod holders and poling platforms and a generous casting area at the front of the skiff. Fly fishing and spin casting. No rental gear available from this location.
