Pacific Coast of Guatemala - December 4th, 2003
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
RECORDED: 
80 °
FISHING: Good
maps
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The sea conditions in Guatemala are beautiful, with very calm seas and partly cloudy skies. The run to the fish is highly variable each day with the best action seeming to occur between 20 and 30 miles, with pockets of action much closer at times. Over the last week the fishing has remained hot or cold, mainly due to not enough boats out to keep the action located. Overall, the boats averaged 12 releases out of 19 shots on sails, and 1 for 1 on marlin during the 5 days that were fished by the 8 boats. One boat spent a partial day inshore, and was able to release a couple of roosters, a couple of mackerel and a couple of jacks.

IN GENERAL: The fishing the last week in Guatemala has been hot or cold depending on the day. There were few boats out during the week, but those that were fishing averaged 22 shots with 13 releases on sails. On good days there were as many as 45-50 sails in the pattern per boat. Dorado action is steady with 5 per boat per day, and some boats have had good action on 20 pound tuna. Inshore, there was no one out again.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - November 20th, 2003
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
FISHING: Good
maps
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: In the past week, we have a lot of offshore action to report. The 2003 Presidential Challenge wrapped up in Guatemala this past week, so we had more boats on the water fishing than we have had in a while. Action for the 30 participants was HOT with a wide open bite on the last day! In the 3 days of fishing they released 553 Sailfish and a couple of Blue Marlin. In addition to this action several of the local boats were out prior to and during the tournament and released an additional 153 sails with a couple of Marlin thrown in. The total on sails released for the week was 706, which is not bad. Dorado were also present but we don’t have counts on them. Inshore there was no one out, once again. The action is really great right now, so its time to get on down to Guatemala!

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - November 13th, 2003
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
FISHING: Fair
maps
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The run to the fishing grounds is still a long trip, averaging 40 miles, but the distance gets shorter each day. In the last week only 3 of the local fleet were out. Results were fairly good despite the weather which was not very cooperative in the afternoons. The boats fly-fishing were able to raise 44 sails and release 23, and the conventional gear boat released 6 out of 10 in one day. In addition, all the boats had some good action on dorado. Once again this week there was no one out trying the inshore waters, but every time someone does, they have great results with roosters in the 30- to 40-pound class.
If you are headed down to Guatemala, be sure to ask about a half day inshore trip on the day you arrive. You will not be disappointed. At the end of this week the wrap-up event of the 2003 Presidential Challenge will be run in Guatemala, so there will be a lot more boats out and the report next week should be interesting! Guatemala will also host the ILTTA tournament in the spring, March 14 -20, 2004.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - November 6th, 2003
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
FISHING: Good
maps
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: In the last week, only two of the local fleet ventured out. One fly party went out for four days fishing, and one group of local anglers fished for a day. The fly
party experienced three really good days fishing, and had one day called due to bad weather. In the three days they had 37 sails come up to teasers and they caught and released 20 of them; they also caught seven dorado. The party of local anglers went three-for-three on sails and also caught a couple dorado. Inshore, there was no one out, but the fish are present.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - November 2nd, 2003
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
FISHING: Fair
maps
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The weather has been beautiful, very calm in the mornings with the seas building slightly all day. The blue water is about 17 miles offshore, but the water temp is off until you get about 45-50 miles out. This is where the action on sails, marlin, and dorado kicks in. Very few of the local fleet were out, but those that made the run had great action averaging double digit releases. One boat was able to connect with a blue marlin, and one boat barely missed a small but very active blue marlin when some 40-pound class dorado stole all the baits from under its nose. Inshore, we ran one trip in the last week and connected with 2 of 5 roosters in the 30-40lb class in addition to some
mackerel and jacks in a short 3.5 hour trip.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - October 23rd, 2003
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
FISHING: Good
maps
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: The weather has improved dramatically, and more boats are venturing out. In the past week, boats that went out had mixed results. The more experienced captains and crews were able to average 18 sailfish raised, and 12 sails released per day of fishing. The local fleet overall had 78 sailfish raised and 48 released in 3 days of fishing. A couple of marlin showed up, but either were not interested, or broke off before they could be released. The dorado are spotty at best. Inshore was a repeat of last week’s report with no one out trying the waters. The run out to the blue water was several miles
longer than last week.

10/16/2003 REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@usa.net; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Thurs., October 16, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Thurs. (10/10 - 10/16)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO AND IZTAPA, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: After all the recent Chubasco smack downs, let the sun shine in! That was the tune heard most often this week. Jess Telles, Visalia, Calif. (in the San Joaquin Valley) had a big smile on his face as he slid into a tuna stop in front of Cabo Pulmo that wouldn’t quit. By the time the scales settled he had racked up an impressive even dozen mixed yellowfin and bonito on the cast. Our See Thru Deceivers did the trick for him. The next day, he opted for a shot at billfish and wasn’t disappointed. Well, maybe a little. He connected twice, but both time the fly came out before he could bring them to the boat. I’ll bet he will be back soon to even that score. The arroyos continue to flow, but are passable.

o OFFSHORE: A few blues, stripers and sails providing the best action. Few tuna to be found.
o INSHORE: Still pretty dirty water with a few jacks and roosters beginning to show again.
o BEACH: After all the storms it is very hard to even get around. Lots of flowing arroyos to deal with. Best bet is to fish the edges.
BILLFISH – A few blues and stripers to go along with a good sailfish bite.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Best action was at Cabo Pulmo.
DORADO – Better than it’s been, but not what we had hoped it would be by now.
ROOSTERFISH – Bubba among the missing, small ones are at the edges of the arroyos.
JACK CREVALLE – A few smaller ones in front of Punta Colorada.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Cabo Pulmo holding a few.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Slow.
SIERRA – A few here and there.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: IN GENERAL: One for the money, two for the show, the Thetis Bank pileup begins. One local boat reported multiple marlin strikes and releases as well as wahoo and dorado. Back closer to the entrada on a 240° heading 17-20 miles, among the shark buoys, one boat reported triples on the wahoo and dorado. At the entrada, yellowtail were on the chew and even biting the fly. Back at Belcher’s there was a pretty good halibut bite (I know halibut, marlin, wahoo and dorado in the same report is pretty weird.) The esteros seemed to have awakened as well with corvina, pompano and mucho bay bass.

YELLOWTAIL – Baja Deep Diver, slow retrieve, down deep.
CORVINA – Still the most common catch in the esteros.
SNOOK – A few smaller ones.
HALIBUT - Chartreuse Clousers and sandy beach, slow retrieve along the bottom
equals action.
SIERRA – Slow this week or not noticed because of everything else going on.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 84º blue water has moved out to the 20 mile mark. Because of the abundance of bait, there are a lot of game fish out there. The boats are getting a between 1 and 2 sailfish a day, plus a couple of nice 25-pound class dorado under the floating logs.
Santiago, on the panga “Gitana,” picked up two sails, working a clean/dirty water current line only three miles off the beach. He told me the water is fairly clear for the first three miles, then stays dirty until the blue water at 20 miles.
In the surf line, the roosterfish action is still holding very steady for the 30- to 35-pound average-sized fish.

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Flat calm weather early morning makes the 25-35 mile ride out to the temperature break a breeze. The few boats fishing this week reported fair (by Guatemala standards) catches – a handful of fish per trip. Also, a few dorado have been showing up in the pattern along with an occasional blue marlin. The wind usually begins to pick up by early afternoon about 2 p.m. as the boats begin the ride back to the marina while the clients relive the day’s action.
