Guatemala Fishing Report

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Started the week of Jan 17th with some great Guatemala  fishing – even better we welcomed back old friends the Graham party. They started with a vengeance and really didn’t stop – releasing over 100 sailfish over th course of 5 days. One of the fish in particular – we are awaiting the pictures – was estimated at 150 lbs, and on their last day released a sailfish of an estimated 130lbs on the fly.

The SST charts saved us a ton of fuel and our clients a ton of time searching for the blue water and finding the hot bite. The blue water was moving radicaly from day to day – see our full fishing report here :

Earthquake in Guatemala

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Today there was a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Guatemala just South of the Marina towards El Salvador. All of our boats were out fishing at the time – which is probably about the safest place for them when these things happen – but there are no casualties and little damage reported from the coast.

 

Unusually for Guatemala, we had two cold fronts come through in quick succession that built upon each other to produce some pretty significant seas and blasts of cold air. This often has the effect of scattering the concentrations of bait and making the fishing more challenging – but not this time.
