The Journey Coast to Coast
Flylords and Columbia PFG set out to tell the story of a trip that never goes to plan. A journey across Belize with two anglers, one camera crew, and a few dream fish that don’t always play fair.
Ep. 1 & 2
I. San Pedro
San Pedro's flats and town-side channels
set the pace for the trip, mixing easy access with technical
sight-fishing right off the beach.
Ep. 3
II. Tranquility Bay
A quieter stretch of water away from
town, where the crew slowed down and worked the mangroves for
bigger, warier fish.
Ep. 4 & 5
III. Rocky Point
A cut in the
reef known for pushing bigger predators onto the flats on the
right tide.

Episode 3 of Coast to Coast: Belize starts in one of the most unexpected places, an urban tarpon fishery tucked into the canals of Belize City.

It doesn’t take long before Alec comes tight, the team erupts, and tarpon start rolling everywhere. Alexandra soon lands one of her own, completing the coveted saltwater Grand Slam: bonefish, permit, and tarpon. But the adventure is just getting started. From throwing cast nets to spearfishing, “fly fishing,” and cooking their own fresh catch, this episode is all about embracing every part of Belize’s fishing culture.
