Pacific Coast of Guatemala - February 18th, 2006
supplied by: Baja on the Fly
RECORDED: 
84 °
FISHING: Great
maps
Early in the week the wind blew all night and Monday morning the fleet was greeted with grumpy seas and the prospect of it getting worse before it got better. However, by late Monday afternoon the seas had subsided and the sun was shining bright.
Chris Pearson, from Boise, Idaho, and Jack Balch, Fremont, California, wrapped up their trip early this week calling it one of the most intense fishing trips of their collective lives. While the action was slower than usual for Guatemala they considered the trip a complete success. In the four days they raised 47 sails, cast to 27 and landed 11. During their entire trip they were never out further than 24 miles and had excellent weather except for Monday. Chris landed his first sailfish and he was thrilled with the results. Jack, a seasoned veteran having fished with us once before, demonstrated what he had learned on his previous trip by out-fishing his buddy Chris by one sail caught in the final few minutes of the trip. Fly selection was pretty basic with pink poppers being the definite winner for the guys on this trip.

Action was hit or miss this week with more fish beginning to show later in the week. Chris Pearson, from Boise, Idaho and Jack Baltch, Fremont, Calif., after a slow start in the morning with more misses than hits, came up with a strong finish in the afternoon with Chris catching his first sailfish ever. Jack, not to be outdone, added to his total with the first one of the trip late in the day. Lots of high fives and more than a little bit of Guatemalan rum in the bar. With three days to go, it could get interesting tomorrow.

Plan on something between 1/2 to 1-½ hours to get to the fishing grounds as the blue water moves in and out between 12 to as far as 30 miles. They’re experiencing calm seas in the morning and wind at your back in the afternoon. The fleet has been reporting fair action early in the week that improved to good action for everyone by week’s end. In addition to the sailfish, there were also a few dorado in the 20 pound class.
I will be heading down mid-week and can’t wait to be back on the water. If you want to see what kind of action I am looking for, here’s a video to get you in the mood. http://www.youtube.com/w/?v=t7-kl8THUmU

The trick this week was to find the blue water, which seemed to moving around. The calm seas made it easier for the fleet to spread out and search for the action anywhere from eight to 35 miles. Early in the week, there was more seeking than catching! By mid-week the captains had narrowed down the area and everyone’s results improved and double digit scores were not uncommon. With an occasional blue marlin and some fat dorado for variety, everyone had plenty to talk about over fresh dorado hors d'oeuvres at happy hour.

Pacific Coast of Guatemala - January 21st, 2006
supplied by: Baja on the Fly

With the fleet spreading out and a few boats traveling out 40 miles – most pulling the throttles back at 10 miles or less – the fishing has not been terrific this week. Single digits were the norm with very few exceptions. When the sails did appear in the pattern, they were pretty lethargic and tough to get to take a fly. A few boats did locate a school of porpoise and did well on yellowfin tuna. While the fishing was not up to the usual Guatemala standards, the weather was calm seas and clear skies.

While the seas were pretty grumpy early in the week, by mid-week they had calmed downed
and the action moved much closer this week with the fleet reporting fish at ten miles. Most of the anglers hardly had a chance for their breakfast to settle before the teasers were let out behind the boats. In no time at all cries of “Cast! Cast! Cast!”, could be heard as the sailfish charged the teasers right up to the transom in search of food. Steady action continued most of the day with most boats reporting double digit shots. Still some dorado in the 20 – 30 lb. class showed up in the pattern occasionally.

The first week of 2006 really fizzled the first few days, maybe both the anglers and fish partied too hard welcoming in the New Year. Mid-week, the fishing began to get its groove back providing enough action to keep bars buzzing at Happy Hour. In addition to the customary sailfish bite, there were just enough blue marlin to make the angler think about which rod to grab. There were even a few fat dorado streaking into the pattern with a gold and turquoise flash to confuse the game plan further.

2005 finished up with a bang with most boats finding fast-paced action. The blue water for this week has been averaging between 17 to 30 miles with calm days and flat seas. Many boats reporting double digit releases. A blue marlin pop this week had the crews scrambling to figure out which gear to use. There also plenty of dorado in the 20 to 40 pound class and one boomer that tipped the scales at 50 pounds.

As 2005 season winds down, the chatter on the dock is about another great season that once again confirms the fact Guatemala offers some of the finest sail fishing in the world. With most of the action within an hour or so of the dock – and calm seas – it looks like the season will go out with a bang; and, there could even be a few new season-totals records set. The local fleet, along with a few yachts that arrived recently, have reported good to excellent fishing most of the week. With fishing like this, it’s hard to take time to get ready for another great Christmas in Guatemala.

Action early in the week was a couple of clicks slow as boats scoured the waters 20 to 40 miles offshore for the mother lode. By mid-week, the herd was found and the action was cooking again. Mr. Wern Blasaditsch and Rodolf Hotter from Germany fishing on the Tranquility, a 31-foot Bertram, had better action each day as the week progressed. Their best day, they raised plenty of sails, releasing double digits all on the fly. Tom Pero, editor of Fish and Fly magazine and professional photographer Walter Hodges fished aboard the Maverick with Sailfish Bay owner Robert Fallon. Since neither had ever fly-fished for billfish before, there was a steep learning curve to deal with. By the end of the week, however, they both had notches on their flyrods for released sailfish; not to mention, plenty of photos and enough stories to impress their friends for some time to come. It will be interesting to see their take on Guatemala Sailfish on the Fly in Fish and Fly magazine some time next year.
