Belize fishing tips?

I am lucky to have an opportunity to go to Belize in June.  Going to head to a resort in San Pedro that supposedly has a few kayaks to use for the guests.  Having never fished in Belize, was wondering if anyone had any advice?

Don't have advice but I'll be following this closely as I'll be there in June or July of 2015.

Being your own tackle, gear is very expensive there. Stayed in Caye Caulker for a couple weeks for our honeymoon ten years ago.

We fished hand lines from shore and caught a variety of fish including snapper, barracuda and pompano. This was using very basic cut bait and beer cans.

Saw lots of bonefish and some larger species feeding at night in the mangroves. Best part if the trip was snorkeling for conch and lobsters with A local fisherman.

Enjoy your trip and take lots of picture. Remember to go slow!

Thanks for the advice...I am planning on bringing some gear and will report back after the trip.

I've been there several times.  The reef is very close to San Pedro so should be easy to reach.  I hired a local guide in a panga and we netted baitfish and trolled just outside the reef and caught triggerfish and barracuda.  I have also headed south in a golf cart and fished for bones in the flats.  Hard wading-the bottom is muddy and you sink in to you knees in some places.  Lots of mangrove snappers to be had as well.  Search out a local for a day of bottom fishing and snorkeling.  I hired  guide and did a 1/2 day fly fishing trip for bones.  That was a rush! You will have a blast!  Good luck

We went for our honeymoon about 8 years ago and the fishing was good. Jacks, cudas, bonefish and snappers among others are accessible from shore or kayak. Quick tip - the bonefish can't resist bits of conch meat. Bonefish will smoke your drag like few other fish can.The snorkeling was pretty good, but a hurricane had recently wrecked a lot of the reef were were on. I found it was a very friendly country.

I've been several times but have only fished once.  Unfortunately, I drank so much rum that day that I don't remember too much  .

I do know that professional guided fishing trips seem very expensive compared to everything else that you can do there.  We go for the diving which is fairly inexpensive.
