We picked them up at the all-inclusive Villas del Pacifico Resort around 6:30 A.M. and after a short 10 minute drive all arrived at the new Pez Vela Marina (this is the only real safe ocean access). After a short tour of the new marina they left the dock at around 7:A.M. The waters were around 75degrees F. relatively calm and the fishing grounds were out about 25 miles.

Captain Jaun and his two mates aboard the LaGipsy 32ft. Blackfin made their angling adventure very enjoyable. After landing their first Dorado which they cleaned and prepared for lunch, they released 5 out of 7 Pacific Sailfish,caught 3 more nice Dorado's and one Tuna. They retuned to dock around 3:30P.M., a little early, needing to catch-up with the rest of their 14 person party. They said it was one of their best days ever fishing and had the video to prove it. They do plan to offer Guatemala fishing when they get back home. Good fishing guys and return to Guatemala soon.
