Wyatt Cabral is a native Placencian. He grew up in the village and on one of the cayes together with his large family; he has 13 siblings (brothers Egbert, Julian and Daniel are also fishing guides). Wyatt has been fishing all his life; as a little boy helping his Dad catch enough fish to feed the big family and then, growing older, as a commercial fisherman.

When the first flyfishermen arrived in Placencia some 10 years ago, he became curious, bought a rod and reel and tought himself how to flyfish. Commercial fishing included trolling, spincasting, spearfishing and bottomfishing, but not fly fishing.
Wyatt then decided to try scuba diving, loved it, did his Open Water Course and then continued his diving education all the way up to Dive master and Assistant Instructor.

For eight years he worked as a guide at Glover's Reef, sharing his time between the different resorts. Since he is so allround (guiding divers, snorkellers and fishermen) there was never a problem to find work.

A few years ago he Wyatt decided to return to Placencia and freelance from there.
In 2000 he met Swedish Carina who soon became his wife. She will make sure that you'll get a nice lunch on your trip; often including home-made Swedish bread and cookies.
