BELIZE: FEBRUARY MECA TRIP
- CRAIG POFF
What a
great trip on the Meca last week! Dean, John &
Carol were tremendous in both their hospitality and
hard work. The sunrise to after sunset fishing
schedule was fantastic. We had expectations that we
would want to fish more than the guides but Dean &
John were ready, willing and able to stay out all
night if that’s what we wanted to do. Carol kept us
extremely well fed and the accommodations were
always ship shape. Although we didn’t land any
permit we lost a few and bounced countless flies off
their noses. We had several tarpon and plenty of
bones and on Thursday we were 1 permit short of a
Super Duper Slam for our boat (bonefish,
snook, tarpon & cormorant). On our final day, we
had several shots at some monstrous permit on the
reef east of St. George’s Key. What a sight to see
30#+ fish hanging in the surf over the white bottom;
unfortunately, just like a typical permit none of
them would open its mouth. Luckily there were some
tarpon laid up in the surf nearby and they were
wiling to eat
Thanks
for all the help. Johnny & Glenn are going to be in
touch soon to start looking for 2008 dates.
