BELIZE – Belize River Lodge

Central America Fishing Destinations | Wildside Adventures

Mike Heusner, Marguerite Miles and Misha Miles, the owners, managers and hosts at Belize River Lodge have so graciously hosted me and my staff going on 10 years now. Each stay at the BLR has been more memorable than the previous one. I have learned so much about salt water fly fishing from their expert guides, the cultures of the Belizean people and the wonder of the Belize River. It is a destination that I truly enjoy returning to. During this trip I was able to hook up with three 100 pound plus Tarpon in the same afternoon and to make it even more special, I landed two of them! One was 142lbs and the other was 125lbs! They say that if a fly fisherman lands 1 out of 6 tarpon he is doing great, so my day was awesome!

The Belizean hospitality and the delicious combination of fine Belizean-Creole cuisine make this one of my favorite destinations. Cooking on the Wildside this week will feature some of my recipes with the local Snook!

COSTA RICA – Thumper Blue Water Expeditions

Central America Fishing Destinations | Wildside Adventures

The traveling billfish angler has a myriad of excellent locations to pursue his or her passion in Pacific Central America from Guatemala to Panama…the majority of these locales are famous for their sailfish bite.

Golfito , however, is home to one of the most prolific MARLIN bites on the planet. The Panama/CR border area is one of the few places in the world where three tectonic plates converge. (Hannibal Bank is on the Cocos Plate and millennia ago was located off the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador).

This intense plate activity has caused crust upwellings and intense volcanic activity that persists today. It is these folds in the earth’s crust and extinct volcanic cones that rise from the depths that enhance the currents and attract the bonito and yellowfin with the Marlin in close pursuit

Joe is one of the most knowledgeable and personable guides I have ever experienced. From helping our entire group with travel arrangements to the equipment needed to making sure that everyone had a great experience. I could never have done this trip without his guidance. My only negative is he out fished me, by a lot!!! Gene DeVitis

I recently went on a 10 day fly fishing trip to Patagonia arranged by Joe. It was the best, most organized trip I have ever experienced. Joe and the lodge at lake Rosario were very accommodating along with outstanding food. The guides and helpers were some of the nicest people in the world. I cannot say enough nice things about my time. I highly recommend Joe for any hunt, fish or relaxing trips. You won't be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of traveling with Joe to Cala Mia Resort in Panama. From the gathering information stage to touching down in Panama, Joe made the process easy. He was informative on the pricing, setting expectations of what to expect and the planning of all logistics, including planes, busses, cars and boats. The resort itself was a pinch me life moment. Traveling an hour from David to the boat ramp, then taking a boat to the island just built the excitement levels. Our group took 2 boats to the island where we were welcomed by the owner of the resort and his wonderful crew. We were taken care of every moment with food, drinks and wonderful smiles. I was able to take advantage of scuba diving and fishing 3 days. The crew worked hard to ensure that we were on the fish and were having a wonderful experience. At the beginning, middle, and end, Joe Rossi made sure all his clients were having the best time possible and all expectations were met. I hope to have the opportunity to enjoy another fishing adventure with Joe from Wildside.

My wife and I recently took a trip with Wildside to Panama for deep sea fishing, and it was absolutely amazing. Wildside arranged everything from travel between Panama City to the Resort to then putting us on the fish. The resort was beyond expectations as was the food. This was easily one of the best trips we have taken, and we will definitely take many more journeys with Wildside.
