Dawn spills across the Placencia Peninsula and the boat cuts a silver line through calm Caribbean water. Salt air sharpens the senses as guides check reels and scan shallow flats where bonefish ghost beneath the surface and darker cuts hint at tarpon lying in wait. The day stretches wide — eight hours of sight-fishing, fly or spin casting, and the focused scramble when a big permit takes the bait.
