Fishing Report - Guatemala
The season is getting off to a great start. In the past week, most boats have been raising between 12 and 21 sailfish, with one boat releasing 61 sails in 2 days. Most boats are also catching 10 to 15 dorado and 8 to 10 yellowfin tuna. The tuna have been nice sized with the average being 30 to 50 pounds. Perfect for Sushi! No real marlin action to speak of yet, but we
normally do have great marlin action between now and the end of December.
The weather and fishing is great this time of year, and we still have some openings in the next couple of months, so come on down and join in on the action.

Guatemala Fishing report Nov 1st 2008
Fish or Ski ??
This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
Nov 1st 2008 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] [/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
Sometimes you almost have just too much choice. We welcomed back Augusto and his family to Guatemala this week, a little tired after a long flight from Italy, but enthusiastic all the same. This is the third time that Augusto has fished with us, and so he is an “old hand” and knows well what to expect.
The blue water early in the season can move in and out very rapidly – and so it proved, moving from 25 miles one day to over 40 miles from the dock a couple of days later. This means a LOT of water to cover as the fleet looks for signs of productive fishing.
The positive side of this is that there is a good chance of finding a variety of fish as the Bertram skims over the deep blue.
And so it proved; it was tough to find a concentrated sailfish bite for Augusto and Filippo averaging low double digit raises per day, but we did manage to find some good size bull dolphin and a couple of times schools of feeding Yellowfin Tuna.
So plenty of variety to choose from – and as the title of the report suggests, another important decision was whether to fish or (water) ski on the flat calm water of the Pacific 40 MILES FROM SHORE !!!!!!!
Of course they chose to fish, but have a look here at the detailed pictures of the water behind them as they pose for pictures –this is one of the GREAT BENEFITS of fishing this part of the Pacific coast – the vasy majority of the time during fishing season, we are BLESSED with FLAT CALM SEAS.

Guatemala Fishing report July 10, 2008
The Running of the Bulls
This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
July 10, 2008 2008 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
As many of you who have fished in Guatemala will know,
we keep a “weather eye” on two key indicators first thing in
the morning on the dock.
The first is whether the volcano “Pacaya” is swathed in mist
and high cloud – a sure sign of moisture at high altitude and
often a cold front coming through.
The second is a quick glance at the steam rising from the
condensing towers in nearby Puerto Quetzal – an obvious
indicator of current wind strength and direction.
The integration of these two data points generally forms the
“Dock weather forecast” for the day and the successive couple
of days – albeit with diminished accuracy.
This “Dock forecast” is generally very good from October until
June – when the Pacific Coast of Guatemala is blessed with
light winds, calm seas and mostly sunny days for weeks and months
at a time…..a remarkable correlation to the weather forecast.
This time of year however proves to be more of a challenge to
the sages of the dock, for as fast as they can cast an eye over
distant Pacaya and so voice their opinion of the weather to
come………. it will have changed. The onset of the rainy season
means that the winds can come up and change direction quickly –
causing the bait and the billfish to scatter and much less concentrated.
Largely because of this, we have been raising only 5-10 billfish
per day for the last few weeks, and the Blue Marlin have been
noticeable only by their absence.
On the positive side, the rains in the mountains have caused
their regular flooding of the rivers and tributaries – pushing debris
out to the ocean. Trees and crates are to be found floating at
10-15 miles from the dock – and provide perfect ecosystems for
juvenile fish to flourish. These in turn attract one of the most
prolific and efficient predators of the ocean, Coryphaena hippurus
AKA Dorado/Mahi-Mahi/Dolphin.
Once the Dorado start to feed, there is little that will stop them ! They
will consume almost anything as juveniles – achieving remarkable
growth rates of as much as 3 inches/week and doubling their weight
every six months. This makes them not only prized fare for the table, but
also a great sport fish particularly on light tackle.
This can be a great time of the year to come down and take advantage
of the plethora of fishing that is available – from billfish to dorado to
roosterfish…………and also to take advantage of our Summer Special :
Fish 3 or more days and receive one day FREE

Guatemala Fishing report May 6th 2008
Sailfish and a good Blue Marlin bite !
This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
May 6th 2008 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
We highlighted in last weeks report the strong Blue Marlin
bite that we have had for the last several weeks in the rich
blue water of the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.
Two groups in particular had an extremely memorable experience;
John Bottone fishing in saltwater for the first time successfully
released his first saltwater fish and billfish (a good Sail of about
100lbs !) on his inaugural day – but on his second day hooked into
a monster Blue Marlin ! Fishing with him was Steve Robinson, an
experienced (ex) charter captain from the Florida Keys – he recounts
the battle here.
Fishing at the same time on board the Reel Diver was the
Styles party – with another member Bryn Jones also attempting
to release his first billfish. The first day was slow, with only 3
Sailfish releases – but things heated up dramatically from then on !
After crossing the barrier of his first release, quickly followed by
a half dozen more, Bryn was first to the 50lb outfit as the a decent
sized Blue Marlin appeared in the spread. Johnny the mate on
the Reel Diver in a flash heaved the rigged Dorado belly into
the teaser stream perfectly to the side and slightly behind the fish –
and the Blue inhaled it without hesitation. The fight lasted a
relatively short, but memorable, 15 minutes – and Bryn successfully
released his first ever Blue Marlin as well……see the picture right…
he looks like a Happy Camper !
The next two groups fishing with us – the Mueller and Kano
parties saw consistent Sailfish action on both conventional
and fly – raising 15-20 Sailfish per day and having very good
hookup rates as the fish were extremely aggressive.
The blue water was swirling around a lot – ranging from a
relatively close in 25 miles to as far as 50 miles from the dock –
But we were able to find good action every day. The season is
still strongly underway !!
The boats are ready, the crews are primed – come down and enjoy

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
April 28th 2008 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
Overall, we have had a great spell over the last few weeks of
consistently strong numbers of billfish raised day after day.
The only downside has been that the blue water has been
consistent as well - hovering between 40 and 50 miles
offshore. This makes for a long run in the early morning and
evening, but a small sacrifice to have to make for the great
fishing to be enjoyed.
We have had a few exciting episodes over the last couple of weeks;
mixed in with the concentrations of Sailfish have been good numbers
of Marlin, some as large as we have seen in Guatemalan
waters. Steve Robinson came down with his group, one of whom
had never caught a saltwater fish, never mind a billfish !
First day John (that angler !) easily made that hurdle, catching
and releasing a feisty Sailfish early in the day. Now he could
relax ? Not so……second day out, lines in the water, a marlin
bite on the flatline and John was in the seat. A good hookup, and
the captain estimated a good fish in the 500lb class – unfortunately
it had chosen to bite on the 25lb class gear, and was now firmly
attached to a Shimano TLD and 450yds of backing !
Over the course of the next 51/2 hours (yes 51/2 hours !), the captain
pitched his experience and skill in boat maneuvering against the fish,
while John tried to gain line at every opportunity. As time wore on,
and the Captain managed a couple of glimpses of the Blue – he
raised the stakes several times, until his final estimate at the boat
of a Blue Marlin of 850-900lbs. After all this time, it was important to
achieve a quick release at the boat, so a touch of the leader and
the huge fish swam away – not sure now who was the most grateful
that the fight was done ! Congratulations to John on what was truly
a world-class angling performance – 850lb Blue Marlin on 25lb gear.
Soon after this escapade, we welcomed pro angler Mark Maus down
to fish a couple of days and film a show with us for The Outdoor Channel.
You know…..the thing about fishing, is…You just never know……so
we were under some pressure to find Billfish in sufficient numbers to
accommodate all the camera angles, shots, perspectives, underwater film
etc etc required nowadays of a professional show.
Fortunately, it was lines in – and 4 minutes later Mark and I had a feisty double
underway…..while Jason our cameraman worked like crazy trying to get the
appropriate batteries in the appropriate microphones, lenses on cameras etc
etc.
This pattern continued over the next days fishing as well – and by lunch
on day 2 we pretty much had it “in the can”.
Mark – as a pro-fisherman, had an interesting perspective on the fishing
in Guatemala, that while “I have traveled all over the world billfishing and making
shows – from Costa Rica to Baja to Panama – this is BY FAR, the BEST
BILLFISHING THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED” , he also commented
however, that as a (primarily) “Traveling Anglers’ Destination”…..when is
“Enough is Enough” ????
He calculated that we had raised a billfish every 6 minutes while we were
trolling to raise fish for the show – which while ideal for us filming for TV,
may in fact be too much action for a group of guys fishing for fun or a
family just getting together. Good Point……Nice Problem to have I replied !
Finally, CONGRATULATIONS to Sheri Larkin who fished
With us earlier in the year, and submitted one of her pics
of a particularly acrobatic bull Dorado to Sportfishing Mag
for their photo competition and promptly secured an
excellent third place ! You can see the winning pics here.

Opportunity knocks ! This has been a remarkable season – consistently
strong numbers of fished raised almost every day, regardless
of the moon phase, time of day or current. The only thing that
has really mattered has been finding good blue water.
This past week we have seen the deep blue water move out further
to between 30 and 40 miles – but once we have the baits in the
water, the fish have been there.
The boats have been raising 20-40 sailfish each day – giving plenty
of shots both on conventional tackle and the fly. With so many fish
chasing the teasers, there is inevitably competition between them to
get to the bait – and this has resulted in some spectacular scenes
of pods of billfish slashing at the ballyhoo being trolled close to
the transom.
By the time they have good sight and timing on the teaser, and it
has been yanked away – the sails are fully lit up and ready to
pounce on the fly as presented to the side and just behind their
last attack.
This is a great time to come down and hone those flyfishing skills
to catch 100lb+ pelagics on a 13wt.
There have been fewer [b][url=http://www.GreatMarlinfishing.com] Marlin[/url][/b]
showing, but they are still around and every trip has the potential
to deliver not only large numbers of sailfish, but a Blue
Marlin as well !……….things are fishing well in the
rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.

Guatemala Fishing report Feb 24th – it’s HOT down here !
This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
February 24th 2008 and is prepared by
The Great Sailfishing Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
The “common wisdom” is that when the full moon lights up
the night sky, the predators can find their prey and continue
to feed throughout the night – and so are less aggressive
the following day. Perhaps it was the eclipse of the moon that did it…
…..but if anything the billfish are hungry – and getting hungrier every day !
We welcomed back Jody V. and his group to Guatemala – and
of course even though we wish all of our clients good success, it
is very pleasing when old friends come down and first day out
from the dock enjoy great sport.
First day results :
Joint Venture 29 Billfish caught and released
Balena 37 Billfish caught and released
Reel Diver 42 Billfish caught and released
The weather has been clement, calm seas and very warm – blue
water temperature over 80deg at 24 miles. The fishing has been
consistently getting better, with regular raises for all boats in excess
of 50 per day.
A strong Marlin bite, good numbers of Sailfish raise and
caught – and even food for the table……….things are
fishing well in the rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast
of Guatemala.
The boats are ready, the crews are primed – come down and enjoy
what is turning out to be a great season fishing with The Great Sailfishing Company
We still have availability for some of the popular dates, so don’t

Guatemala Fishing report Feb 3rd 2008
This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
February 3rd 2008 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
So far so good – this has been a great season to date,
with a strong and steady bite since early November.
It’s always great to welcome back old friends to
Guatemala, and to be able to reward their loyalty and
perseverance with outstanding fishing.
The rich Pacific waters off the coast of Guatemala are
regularly mentioned in fishing magazines and TV shows
as consistently some of the most productive billfishing
in the world - witness the February 2008 issue of Sportfishing
magazine (right) that discusses the strength of the
fishery (and The Great Sailfishing Company in particular !).
They also talk about Bluefin off the Outer Banks….we
can only manage Yellowfin in good numbers as well as
Sailfishing and Marlin……….but the weather is a lot
more clement.
The boats have been putting lines in at only 22 miles
or so – or as soon as they crew spot billfish either
breaching or lounging on the surface. There is plenty
of bait in the water, so it is really a question of sighting
the fish to set lines in the most productive areas.
We have been averaging >20 raises of billfish almost
every day, with regular catches of Blue/Black Marlin
included in the mix as well as good sized dolphin.
There seems to have been little regard or effect from
different moon phases this season – perhaps an
indicator of the sheer volume of billfish that are hanging
on the boat all along the blue water line.
A strong [b][url=http://www.GreatMarlinfishing.com] Marlin[/url][/b]
bite, 20+ raises per day being the norm at the moment – and even
food for the table……….things are fishing well in the
rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.
The boats are ready, the crews are primed – come down and enjoy
the buildup to what we hope is going to be a great season
fishing with [b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
December 10th 2007 and is prepared by
The Great Sailfishing Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
It’s dark up there at the moment – there is just about no moonto facilitate feeding at night, and that seems to have made
the billfish concentrate in packs. If you’ve ever seen the
wonderful footage on natural history programs of pods of Sailfish
working together corralling bait into tighter and tighter balls, you
will have a good image of what the fishing in Guatemala is like
at the moment.
Finding the bait and the blue water is almost guaranteed to find
sails (and sometimes marlin) in good concentrations. Sometimes
these bait balls are relatively close to each other, and sometimes
they are widely dispersed. The fleet has been finding them this
past week at distances ranging from 10 – 40 miles from the
dock – but once a working area is found, it has been possible to
fish it the whole day with continuous action.
Our groups fishing this week had consistent action throughout the
day, and for the most part after a relatively short run of about 12
miles. Talk about consistent fishing – on Friday we had 3 groups
out on our boats, and two boats returned in the evening having
brought 20 sailfish to the boat (thankfully they were all members
of Kim Graham’s party !) so the betting had to be deferred to the
next day. The Buchel party, not to be outdone, wished that they had
been part of the sweep, returning to the dock a few minutes later
with a final tally of 24 sailfish caught.
Amazing (fun) Fishfact of the week :
Starfish have eight eyes – one at the end of each leg………..amazing
but true !
A strong marlin bite, good numbers of Sailfish raise and caught – and even
food for the table……….things are fishing well in the
rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
November 26 th 2007 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
Fishing over the last few weeks has been steady, with
raises in the high double digits the norm. – a slight dip over
the full moon last week, but numbers of releases for both
Sailfish and Marlin have been strong since.
The bite has been especially vigorous first thing in the morning,
and this has been made easier and more convenient for
anglers with the blue water moving in as close in as only
10 miles.
We welcomed the Schafferius party to our new villa this
week – complete with swim-up bar, satellite TV and amenities
…….all the comforts of home without the washing
up !
More importantly, we welcomed them aboard the Joint
Venture for their first days fishing, and put lines in at
9 miles from the dock.
The action came thick and fast, with Sailfish aggressively
pursuing the teasers. They raised 20 Sailfish on their first
day out – with 15 bites and 8 releases. Also in the mix, and
brought to the boat was a 350lb Blue Marlin and some
good sized Dorado for the table.
The season has now started in earnest, and the early
indicators are good for plenty of billfish this year – hopefully
the marlin will hang around as well !
Correction : I reported last week of “Grand Slams” being
released (Blue/Black marlin and Sailfish). I regret that
this was in error and due to my poor translation (literally)
of the Captain’s report. In fact they reported several “Slams”
of Blue Marlin, Sailfish and Dorado. Apologies for that – we
like to be accurate in our reporting.
A strong [b][url=http://www.GreatMarlinfishing.com] Marlin[/url][/b]
bite, good numbers of Sailfish raise and caught – and even
food for the table……….things are definitely looking up in the
rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
November 3rd 2007 and is prepared by
www.GreatSailfishing.com The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
A strong Marlin bite (www.greatmarlinfishing.com), good numbers of Sailfish raise and caught – and even
food for the table……….things are definitely looking up in the
rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.
Groups fishing last week found blue water ranging from
20 to as far as 70 miles from the marina; but the good news
was that the strongest and most consistent bite was found
closest to shore at around 25 miles. In fact at the beginning
of this week, boats were getting their first bite as close in as
5 miles !!
The weather has been kind, and warm days coupled with calm
seas made the relatively short run to “lines in” a pleasant
experience – even sipping coffee to make sure the adrenalin
was on full standby.
Most boats were raising between 10 and 15 billfish per day, and
the Blue Marlin showed consistently in the spread as well some
even taking the fly without hesitation.
There is plenty of variety in the water at the moment, with
Dorado and Tuna readily available to provide fresh Cerviche
on the boat as well as a good fillet for the evening meal prepared
by the chef in the villa.
The boats are ready, the crews are primed – come down and enjoy
the buildup to what we hope is going to be a great season

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
September 24th 2007 and is prepared by
The Great Sailfishing Company operating out of the
new Pez Vela Marina .
This is the time of year when there is a real buzz down in
Guatemala. You can sense that the season is about to start
with vigor. Most of the heavy preparation has been completed –
boats that have languished for some time on stands while
their innards were refurbished are now floating again.
The docks are busy with crews doing maintenance and
cosmetic work : triple spreaders lay on the dockside like
hurdles, clouds of dust hang in the air from power tools
preparing for paint.
The weather is falling back to its more predictable pattern
of light winds, calm seas and blue skies. ….however not
yet everyday.
We welcomed the Crosby party to fish with us this week
onboard the Joint Venture – and their first day out faced
one of the exceptions; a strong Southeast breeze was
whipping up 2-3 feet seas with some white tops. The Joint
Venture at 23000lbs dry is a sturdy fishing and cruising
platform in such conditions, but the buffeting does make the
positioning of the boat with finesse more difficult, particularly
for fly-fishing.
Perseverance paid off however, and the group raised 7 good
sized Sailfish, bringing 4 to the boat for obligatory pictures.
They started their second day just where they had left off : lines
in at 40 miles …. but much calmer seas. During the course
of the day they managed some specimen fish.
As well as the anticipated Sailfish, they raised and hooked up
to 3 Blue Marlin, one estimated at 600lbs. We will be posting
pictures on GreatMarlinFishing . Also in the mix were
Bull Dolphin up to 35lbs and Wahoo.
We kept our eyes open for schools of Spinning Dolphin that
would indicate the presence of Tuna to try and add to the species
caught, but none were seen in the grounds being fished that day.

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
September 9th 2007 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
It’s times like this that we are glad to have a mountain range
and substantial land mass between our boats nestled in the
Pez Vela Marina and the warm currents of the Caribbean.
First Dean decided to make an appearance, but thankfully
stayed on a true ENE track – but then Felix called and said
he wanted to visit. We knew from experience that by the time
the storm made it to the volcanoes guarding the coast, the
winds would have subsided – but several inches of rain over
the highlands can become a torrent as they flow down to the
coast and can easily overwhelm the flood infrastructure and cause
devastation.
The town of Puerto San Jose next to the marina was battered
by heavy rain for 6 hours, and many of the culverts were quickly
overwhelmed – but the multiple inlets cut into the town absorbed
the bulk of the flood and directed it into the floodplain and from there
out to sea.
No serious injuries, minor damage – but tons of debris being
washed miles out to sea. This quickly became a sanctuary for
smaller fish to hide below – and so the food chain took over.
This was apparent as soon as the boats headed out after the
storm. A minimum of two pairs of eyes were needed on the
flybridge to look out for “floaters” (almost a misnomer as they
are large logs that actually float just below the surface) that may
lurk and can rip a hole through even the heaviest of hulls.
Beneath almost every log however, the Dorado schooled – and
so provided sport and dinner for all. In my opinion, casting a
9wt to a 15lb dolphin is at least as much fun as swinging to
a 13wt to a 100lb sailfish. You have the spectacle of the
aerobatic fight, but frequently get to sight cast to a targeted
fish 60ft away and really flyfish.
This is the time of year when almost all species can be found
in the bait rich water. One day fishing brought 10+ sailfish to the
boat as well as a full complement of dorado and tuna – the only
thing missing was a Marlin…..maybe this week !

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
August 11th 2007 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
It is a truism that you have to fish where the fish are – and
it is also true that you have to tailor your technique and
tactics to the bite of the day.
While the primary focus of the fleet remains the everpresent
abundant sailfish population – within 2 miles of the blue water
this week,the boats had aggressive Blue Marlin in the spread.
They were interested in the ballyhoo, but there didn’t seem
to be enough meat for them to target – and so the bigger baits
and the large bubble heads came out to create pandemonium
in the wake.
This certainly did it ! A slightly higher trolling speed was enough
to switch on a marlin bite that even for the bait rich waters of
Guatemala is unusual.
The boats returned to dock, with both boats having raised 8
Blue Marlin for the day – one brought 3 to the boat, the other
managed an impressive 5.
Total then was 8 Blues caught (and released) for 16 bites; a
[b][url=http://www.GreatMarlinfishing.com] GreatMarlinFishing[/url][/b]
day !
There has been a consistent marlin bite even through the
normally quiet summer season – which we hope bodes well
for great sportfishing as we build up to the full coming season.
If you are planning on making a trip in 2007/8, we suggest that
you contact us soon, as there is a limited supply of boats and
experienced crews – and the popular dates are filling in fast !

August 5th 2007 and is prepared by
[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]
operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
Even charter boat captains have to take a vacation at some
point – and so it is even down in Guatemala. The billfish
are still fairly well concentrated (which is more than can be
said for the Captains) – but with fewer boats venturing
out each day, it is harder to have enough scouting capacity
out on the water to find them efficiently.
This is particularly the case when the blue water only starts
at about 35 miles from port.
One of the great attributes of a 100% catch and release
fishery is that there is hardly any selfishness between the
boats. When the bite is found, the only limitation to getting
the co-ordinates is the ability of the ear to decipher the
“Guatamaltique” chatter over the radio at full pace !
Both the Joint Venture and the Reel Diver headed out
from the dock in search of both billfish and fish for the
table (Dorado and Tuna). We welcomed the Hamer party
to fish with us over the weekend.
The Captains found a strong bite at about 45 miles from
port, and fished reasonably consistently – raising single
digits of sails. Each boat also managed a good sized
Blue Marlin in the 350-450lb class, which occupied crew
and clients alike for some considerable time !
The weather cooperated and remained calm and warm for
this time of year.
It seems like the Marlin are hanging around much more
than they have in past years – a consistent bite all the
way through the normally quiet summer months.
Hopefully a good omen for the coming season – we hope
you will come and give it a try !

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
June 24th 2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
We were pleased to welcome Michael Brennan and his two
sons to Guatemala this past week to experience The Great
Sailfishing adventure. They were inspired to fish with us after
watching Cindy Garrison’ s ESPN escapades on the Joint
Venture.
The weather and seas were calm as they set off on their
first morning with Capt. Marvin. We hadn’t ventured out of
dock for a couple of days, so were a little uncertain about the
prospects, but with good blue water starting at 22 miles the
crew was optimistic.
Shortly after lines in the first Sailfish was in the spreads.
This was a good sign – the fish was lit up and aggressively
chasing the teasers, first on the port side, then rapidly
switching to the starboard. As soon as the freshly rigged
ballyhoo was in the water however, it quickly switched attention
and pursued the meal with venom. An easy hookup and release
followed in short order.
While this had been going on, Capt. Marvin had been
surveying the surrounding water, and had observed Sails
free jumping a short distance away. He kicked the Reel Diver
into gear and started to troll the mile or so to the last jumper
he had seen. Didn’t get far however before two hungry sails
started following the short line – and more action ensued.
This continued almost non-stop – eventually raising over
40 Sailfish for the day, bringing over half to the boat and
release. Could this continue ?
The second day proved that it could – even in the “low
season”. A similar catch rate for Sailfish, many Dorado
and many more smiles occurred the second day out –
the final day was capped off with two Blue Marlin.
To quote the crew : “There are Sails all over the place !”
Come and experience The Great Sailfishing adventure
for yourself – try our “Off Season” !!! We even have a
SPECIAL running to make it easy for you !

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
June 17th 2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
The great thing about summer fishing in the bait rich waters
off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala is that just about anything
can happen, and frequently does.
The size of the fleet fishing each day is diminished, and so it can
be more difficult to find the concentrations of Sailfish that are a
hallmark of the region during the peak of the season – but they
are there.
We welcomed the Lunquist party this past week and both the Joint
Venture and the Reel Diver went out looking for the bite. The
Captains worked together to find good blue water and steady fishing.
Lines in at 30 miles produced a steady pick of good sized Dorado which
provided fantatstic action on light tackle.
The rains in the previous week had washed out debris from the land,
and this provided good targets to aim for while still continuing the search
for billfish.
Each boat came in with a release record of 2 Sailfish for the day – but
everyone was happy as there had been continuous action with Bonita
and some good sized Dorado. The Joint Venture brought 24 Dorado
to the boat and the Reel Diver had 12 – so plenty of good fish for dinner.
As the summer progresses, we anticipate more “Bull” dolphin as the bait
becomes more concentrated under some of the large logs that float out
to the fishing grounds from the estuaries – so come an enjoy some great
fishing as well as a fine dinner, with billfish action mixed in !

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
March 26 th 2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
As one of my old bosses used to tell me……”The hardest part of
Forecasting is the predicting the future bit……..”
…………..and we have been predicting/hoping for some weeks now
for the bite to pick up to the standards expected of the rich waters
of Guatemala.
Finally the blue water has moved closer in and the appropriate stars
seemed to have lined up so that the billfish have concentrated and
are feeding well. There has been a steady improvement each day
over the last week, with the numbers of fish raised each day now
comfortably in the teens and twenties.
The “Reel Diver” had a high day late in the week with 35 raises
and constant action through the day.
The Karr party had “11 by 11” fish to the boat yesterday, when they
decided to switch and try some reef fishing for Pargo and Grouper – but
a strong start to the day !
The Blue Marlin are still around, but the numbers have diminished as
the conditions now are clearly more favourable for Sailfish.
We are hoping for the bite to continue through the new moon, and
look forward to the last part of the season (hopefully !) being the best
part of the year for our clients over the next 6 weeks.

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending December
24th 2006 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.
This week saw the continuation of blue skies, calm seas and an
ever improving bite both offshore and inshore.
We reported last week on a few days that the Sinclair party fished
and were rewarded with raises in the 40-75 range each day. This snap
of the Cap’ns log shows the results of another fine days fishing with
75/66/45 raises, bites and catches respectively. It is certainly the
Season to be Merry down here !!.........not just fishing, but catching as
well !! As we came into the New Moon the fishing stayed close in at
12-30 miles and the Blue Water was apparent as close as 15miles.
The inshore fishing has been strong as well – the return of the
Commercial shrimping boats has given the fleet the ability to
focus on areas where there are bound to be fish – Amberjack
until your arms are sore, as well as a decent showing of school
yellowfin right off the beach. There have been some Roosterfish
caught in the melee as well, mostly being caught on fast trolled
Rappalas.
We at The Great Sailfishing Company would like to take the opportunity
to wish you and your families the best for the Season (and not just the
fishing Season !) – and a safe and prosperous New Year. We hope to
see more past clients early in the New Year, and would welcome the
opportunity to make 2007 the year that you finally catch that Sailfish
on the fly, join with your friends in a trip to remember, or introduce your
children to the thrill of offshore fishing in a safe and welcoming environment.
Whichever you aspire to…………..we hope to see you soon !
Our very Best wishes : Les, Carlos, Kevin & Jim

This fishing report is for the week ending December
11th 2006 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina,Guatemala.
Last week saw the start of the ILTTA (International
Light Tackle Tournament Association) fishing the
waters of Guatemala again. The Great Sailfishing
Company had all 3 Bertams fishing in the tournament,
which lasted over 5 days with a “rest day” in the
middle. We were please to host the “Chivas Girls” aboard
the Island Time (they hadn’t seen such a wide beam in a long time)
– you can see the thumbnails here and on our
website.
Fishing was fast and furious, but with Blue Water
ranging from 16-45 miles out, it required plenty of
cruising to find large numbers of Sailfish. This was
achieved by the last day of the tournament however –
as our Bertrams raised substantial numbers on the
final day, ranging from 45 for the “Joint Venture” to
a record 56 for one of our newest additions, the 35ft
“Reel Diver” while our other new addition the
Island Time (38ft.widebody) had 53 bites – perhaps
there is something to be said then for the low
frequency hum of the big Detroit Diesels in raising
fish !
The tournament rules meant that we hosted different,
and mixed groups of anglers on all boats each day, so
it is hard to draw any conclusions from the numbers of
fish brought to the boat – and in the end, it is the
challenge of our boats and our crews to raise the
fish………..and I don’t think anyone can argue that 56
raised on one boat didn’t give the anglers a good
chance at winning the tournament !

Sailfishing – and it is only getting better – please

This fishing report is for the week ending 11-12-06 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing Company which operates out of the new Pez Vela Marina, Guatemala.The fishing grounds for this past week varied between 15 miles to as far as 47 miles. Seas this week have continued to stay calm with sunny skies and light to no wind in the mornings.
Very good results continued this week with boats reporting raises in the teens to the low
thirties,with releases also in the high single digits to low twenties on conventional tackle and with some boats reporting 3 to 4 releases on the fly.We at the Great Sailfishing Company hosted several groups with one releasing 10 Pacific sails out of 13 bites.
At one point a little chaos broke out when they had a blue marlin and 4 sails in the spread. Cap´n Nestor directed the focus towards the Blue Marlin which aggressively pursued one teaser to the other teaser and on to the pich bait....... only to be finally beaten by one of the lit up Sails, at which point the commotion of two hooked up sails proved too much and he sank away from the stern...for next time. Our Sunday charter wanted to target meat fish (we fish how you want to fish) and were rewarded with boating 7 nice dorado,5 yellowfin tuna and several mackeral along with releasing 2 sails.

This fishing report is for the week ending 11-05-06 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing Company which operates out of the new Pez Vela Marina, Guatemala.The fishing grounds for this past week varied between 20 miles to as far as 47 miles. Seas this week have continued to stay calm with sunny skies and light to no wind in the mornings.
This week saw good to very good results with boats reporting raises in the teens to the low
thirties,with releases also in the high single digits to low twenties on conventional tackle.We at the Great Sailfishing Company hosted Dr.DeNunna and son who fished with us for four days. Over 2 1/2 days targeting Pacific sails they released a total of 31 sails along with boating 5 dorado (one in the 40lb + class). The other 1 1/2 days they wanted to target marlin. They had a nice 400+ pounder in the spreads which attacked the teasers and then the bait but failed to hook-up.

This fishing report is for the week ending 10-30-06 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing Company which operates out of the new Pez Vela Marina, Guatemala.The fishing grounds for this past week went out from averaging 30 miles to as far as 45 miles over the past month to 35 to 50 miles. Seas this week have continued to stay calm with sunny skies and light to no wind in the mornings.
This week saw good results with boats
reporting raises in the teens to the low
twenties,with releases also in the high single digits to mid teens - most boats releasing between 8 to 12 sails on conventional tackle.
The most exciting news is that the marlin bite this past week has been Great......
with most boats reporting at least one Blue Marlin in their spreads every day. At the end of the week all of the boats released anywhere from one to four marlin within 4 days. Another reason why we are looking forward to the imminent arrival of our latest 35ft Bertram, the "Reel Diver" - as she is fully equipped to chase those marlin with a full tower and a Marlin door. We are looking forward to a continuing strong Marlin bite - and invite you down to experience it for yourselves !!
