A long drive to fishing 6, the end

So, we decided to do some jungle river fishing.
There must be some universal boating law that all launch ramps are junkshows.....even in the jungle.

Heading up river

We went looking for the Snook and Tarpon lagoon.....anybody see the entrance?

We're going in, Watch out crocs, I have a leatherman and I'll use it.

Here's the lagoon.

The lagoon was pretty and we saw a few fish but they weren't interested in the flies we pitched at them.

We decided to head back....anybody see the exit?

The bows pointed right at it.

Tropical termite nest

Back to the river

The next day we decided to head way up river, hudge strands of Bamboo everywhere.

I wish I was faster with the camera, this is where some large bird chased about 7-8 parrots into this bamboo. Then something else ( I think a Howler monkey) chased them out.

These dogs are pretty wise to where the croc's are.

A Belize snook is giving a big middle finger to my presentation

Colorado steeze didn't work either.

Dood working the dug out canoe.

The next couple of days we were supposed to go out to the flats but got shut down by a front moving through.

Here's a nod to Warthog's fish recipe thread. Snapper prepared local style, cooked in coconut milk.

I had to leave to head to AK. A Belize checkpoint, notice a difference in attitudes compared to the Mexican ones?

Always a sad sight.

That's it, The end. Limited time and limited band width here brings this one to a close.

I'm out, no fishing for me until springtime. This is my world until then.

Somebody go fishing.

WELL DONE HOOK.

Another song that popped into my head while reading your TR's. Again, it's about Mexico, not Belize, but you get the idea...

I like the line "Too old to be wild & free, too young to be over the hill..."

^^^kinda describes me.
