This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending December 30th 2006 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing Company operating out of the new Pez Vela Marina.

Well we allowed the fish a break to enjoy their Christmas – but started back straight away fishing on the 26th. They did seem a little sluggish after the festivities, but the sight of fresh ballyhoo just proved too much ……….and the bite showed as soon as we hit Bluewater at 12-15 miles from the dock. We welcomed the Lundgren party, and they started their trip with 9 nice Sailfish in the boat on “Boxing Day” as it is known in the UK . The weather was perfect with a light wind and enough of a chop on the water to make the teasers jump and hop in an
animated way.


The weather and the bite improved as the Lundgrens continued their trip – bringing 10 to the boat on their second day………and then really heating up with 16 caught on their third and final day. There has been more and more bait showing in recent days, and we are hopeful of a run of Blue Marlin as we progress through the full moon………….watch this space and we will report if/when it happens !

We wish all our clients, past, present and future a Happy New Year

Our very Best wishes : Les, Carlos, Kevin & Jim
