About Haulover Creek

Flowing through Belize District, Belize, Haulover Creek is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Haulover Creek hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Haulover Creek can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common snook

  When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

• For Mangrove snapper

  Use a fluorocarbon leader to minimize visibility in clear water, and fish around structure like docks and mangroves, where mangrove snapper ambush their prey.

• For Horse-eye jack

  When fishing around structure, use heavier tackle to quickly pull hooked fish away from potential snags, preventing break-offs.
