Default RE: I'm going to Belize - what do I need to saltwater fish ?

I hope you have good luck. Perhaps if the group you're going with has done this before, you should ask them. I'd say you need two rods (in case you break one) Saltwater fish will test the gear. Probably a lot of bucktail type jigs in a variety of sizes weights and shiny colors an flourescent materials. on the flats you may be able to sight fish for bone fish and Permit. ?????. if you do, don't throw the lure into the fish. lead them based upon where they look like their going and have the lure waiting for them when they get their. differ retreive techniques from None at all (leaving it still) to different size jerks at different speeds.. you might be able to vertical jig around the dropoffs of the reef. be careful wading. You should at least find a local shop down there to call to ask for info if nothing else. I figured you meant you were going with your wife or something instead of a group of fisherman. good luck. let us know what happens.
