SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Sailfish 101 went off without a hitch and the mission was accomplished. Five went in search of their first sailfish on the fly and they weren’t disappointed. On arrival day (Sunday) a front came roaring though and left grumpy seas for the first day. Regardless, by the end of the day all five had seen the quarry but failed to complete the task. The second day brought calmer conditions and the group headed out with firm resolve to do better. That night at dinner three could celebrate their success and the other two could only watch while vowing to succeed the next day. Succeed they did and on the final night everyone could boast that they had caught their first sailfish on the fly and most had even done better than that with multiple catches recorded. During the four days the group averaged three events (fish in the teasers) an hour during actual fishing time. We have already started planning our next series, don’t miss out!

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - April 17th, 2004
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
FISHING: Great
maps
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The action has picked up again this week. Although there
were fewer boats out, those fishing averaged 20 releases out of 33
hooked sailfish on conventional gear, and on the fly side, anglers were
able to release an average of 8 of 22 hooked sailfish. Also on the fly
there was one roosterfish released out of seven hooked. The action
remains very good by Guatemalan standards and outstanding compared to
other locations. I am headed down April 18 for a week and can't wait.
If it is anything like Feb., I should have plenty of stories and photos
to share. Bennett Mintz and his buddy attorney David Hardacre couldn't
resist the vacuum and are coming down with me to see if there are really
that many sails in one place.

FISHING: Good
maps
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The fish are starting to make a strong showing again and the release numbers are moving up. Last week, the local fleet was able to average 12 releases of
17 shots on conventional gear, and 5 of 11 on fly tackle for sailfish. The more experienced boats of the fleet were experiencing 20 or better releases per day. In addition to the improving sailfish action, quite a few marlin were released and many boats had action on medium-sized yellowfin tuna and larger dorado in the 40-pound class. We had one boat inshore and they hooked 7 roosters, but were only able to land 1 in the 40-pound class. http://www.guatemalaflyfishing.com/sailfish101.htm

SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Last week was sleepy after the excitement of the tournament the prior week. Few boats were out, but the stats were in line with prior weeks and the high boat released 24 of 36 on sails. This week has had a lot more excitement. More marlin than usual have shown up, and one boat had one on the fly that ran into the side of the boat with the bill going through the hull. From what I have heard, just about everybody had shots at marlin this week. Large dorado have also reappeared on the scene. http://www.guatemalaflyfishing.com/sailfish101.htm

IN GENERAL: Talk about the eye of the beholder. Depending on who you talked to, the fishing was great to just OK. High boat for the week checked in with an impressive 36 sailfish released compared to the fleet average of 10 a day. Either way, not shabby.

SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: During the last week we hosted a party of four from Texas. The fishing was slower than normal due to a weather pattern pushing through. They were still able to release 24 sails in 3 days, and the guys all had a great time even with the bad weather. This group typically goes to Costa Rica each year, but remarked that overall, Guatemala was better and they are looking forward to a return trip. They loved the crew, boat, accommodations and food, with one guy remarking that he thought he gained 8 pounds while there. Inshore, there was no one out, so we don’t have a report.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - March 5th, 2004
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
RECORDED:
90 °
FISHING: Great
maps
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: This week we have a couple of new things to report – A party tried the inshore activity early in the morning and they picked up a few wahoo right off the surf line. Wahoo catches are typically very rare in Guatemala. The second item that is a first for me to report is that the flyrodders who were out this week were able to have the same rough average of releases on sails as the conventional guys. In addition to the always great action on sails, three marlin were released. The dorado, which have been scarce this year, have started showing up, and if you are interested you can find them. The run to the sails continues to fluctuate daily. Some days they are in close, at about 15 miles, and the next day you have to run 30 miles to find the fish, but the fishing has been productive.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - February 27th, 2004
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
RECORDED:
84 °
FISHING: Great
maps
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Over the past week, the fishing action has moved inshore with most boats 12-17 miles out. The local fleet averaged 18 of 33 releases on sails. The dorado also made a strong showing this week after being spotty the over the past several weeks. Inshore, once again no one tried the excellent opportunities over the last week. One client was scheduled to fish inshore in the late afternoon, but by 2 he was back at the dock after being worn out from the nonstop sailfish action in the morning. For his next trip down he indicated he was definitely bringing a friend along so he could get a few breaks from the constant action. http://www.guatemalaflyfishing.com/sailfish101.htm

IN GENERAL: A balky communications system out of San Jose and a cell phone that sounds like it’s under water make things difficult. To the best of our knowledge, things are about the same as last week when we encountered a sailfish blitz, raising multiple pez vela behind the boat 142 times or 38 times a day, 91 fish were hooked and 36 released. No matter how you spell it, it still comes out wow.
I am already looking forward to my Flyrod Sailfish 101 Series in April. We have a few slots left if you want to crank up your 12-weight to cash in on the Sailfish Bonanza in Guatemala.
Air and water temperatures remain the same +/- a degree or two either way.
