Pacific Coast of Guatemala - January 31st, 2011

RECORDED: 
80 °
FISHING: Excellent
Jeff Ciuba, Kent Lipton, Rober Byrum, Eric Cox, Tom McCaskill and David Daybenspeck all of them from Murrells Inlet, South Carolina fished 3 days Jan 26th thru 29th on the Monkey Business and Furioso with captains Marcial, Joel and Chino, mates Danilo and Chente. They raised 124 sails and released 83 as well as 5 rooster fish.
The fishing has been about 4 to 6 miles out! Yesterday I went looking for Dorado. We blew past the fleet fishing again at about six miles on board was mate Danilo and a local friend Tucker. We found a log flooting at 27 miles. We landed 11 big Dorado and I had a real thrill when a 500 pound blue marling ate a 25 pound Dorado right next to the boat! He made shout of me on my TLD 25 but it was worth the show. He did a complete circle around the boat in less than 30 seconds before cutting the line with his tail.
We have plenty of open dates in March and April and a few in February
Hope to see you soon.

Guatemala Fishing Report Jan 10th 2011You would think that if the spring were eternal, it would have already arrived – but the weather (as in the USA for the last month or so) can be extremely fickle. Over the Xmas period, there was a continuing pattern of low pressure that caused some turmoil for the [url=http://www.greatsailfishing.com/]fishing in Guatemala[/url]. The fish would be concentrated one day, but the following day could be scattered over 20 miles – so the fleet could spend a lot of time fishing water that looked great but contained few billfish. It is in times like this that another significant benefit of 100% catch&release fishing is apparent – easy and clear cooperation between the Captains and teamwork between the boats to find good concentrations of bait and consistent action with the sailfish.There have still been days recently when the boats have only been raising single digit sailfish in a day, but in the last few days this has really improved significantly. Our boats have been raising as many as 35 sailfish per day in the early part of the week – as well as decent numbers of Blue Marlin which have continued to maintain a strong showing all the way through the early season.The weather patterns seem to have settle now, as most days are clear with calm seas………so perhaps the Eternal Spring can now be said to have arrived for the season. You can get a closer view of the current sea temperatures that we are [url=http://www.greatsailfishing.com/Guatemala_Fishing_Chart.php]fishing in Guatemala by clicking here[/url]While taking a break from digging out the snow this week, I heard on the news that 49 of the 50 states now have at least some (snow) precipitation on the ground. I am pleased to report however that there is currently no snow in Guatemala, the temperature this morning in the marina at 7am was 81deg. F and no snow is forecast. If you are either thinking of making a fishing trip this season, or are just tired of the cold and feel like some warm sunshine – pick up the phone (877 763 0851) and let’s plan a trip to the Sailfishing Capital of the World !!We still have one slot left for our [url=http://www.greatsailfishing.com/guatemala_fishing_sharing.php]shared (economical !) fishing trip[/url]in March – if interested, please send me an email at kevin@Greatsailfishing.com

CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR
Fishing was fantastic! Me & My wife Susy were joined by Troy of Troy Marine & Ryan Cipolla for a Fabulous Christmas & New Year. We threw 2 parties for needy Kids. The First was on Christmas & was at our house in the Mountains of Zacapa. Susy’s sister had written up invitations for 50 poorest Kids in the local village. 100 showed up, the pictures tell the story. This was the only Christmas present most of these Kids received. Well me and Troy had brought enough presents for 100 Kids as we planned the same type of party on New Years eve at the Lodge. So no one got left out in the mountains but we were off to Escuintla to buy 100 more for the Lodge Party. At both parties we served Cake, busted a big Piñata and gave each child a present. It was awesome!
Marlin Fishing was really hot w/ most boats getting multiple shots daily. We hooked a couple but couldn’t seal the deal. Released plenty of sails & stacked big Dorado like cord wood.
Friends welcome.

GUATEMALA LAST DAY FOR THE HAKE GROUP
THE CAPS LOCK MUST BE ON FOR MY COMPUTER TO TYPE NOW. SORRY
FISHING WAS DECENT FOR THE LAST DAY ON THE FURIOUS. WE STARTED OUT BY MISSING A NICE BLUE MARLIN AND THEN CATCHING A SINGLE SAIL. THE FISH BROUGHT ALONG A GUEST. SO WHEN CAPT MARCIEL SAID THERE IS A SAILFISH WITH IT TIM THREW OUT ANOTHER BAIT. THE OTHER SAIL TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE BLUE OR A STRIPEY. THE FIST CIRCLE TIMS BAIT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES BUT WOULDN'T COMMIT. WE PULLED AWAY A FEW TIME TO TRY AND GENERATE A BITE BUT NO GO. FINALLY GOT THE OTHER SAIL TO THE BOAT AS THE WINDS BEGAN TO KICK UP.
WE THEN CAUGHT THREE MORE SINGLES AND A DOUBLE AS THE WINDS AND SEAS BEGAN TO GET REALLY DICEY. WE DECIDED THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS A LONG TROLL HOME (lth) INSTEAD OF KILLING OURSELVES IN THE BUILDING SEAS. WE TROLLED ALL THE WAY TO THE 2 MILE MARK WITH ONLY A WAHOO BITE BUT STILL AN INCREDIBLE DAY.

The fishing in Guatemala, the sailfish Capital of the world is not only hot for sails but also for marlin.
A four person group staying at Buena Vista Sportfishing Lodge this week released 38 sails and were 3 of 4 on Blue Marlin in just 3 days of fishing. One day in the past couple of weeks with only 5 boats fishing they released 5 Marlin in one day.
Hurry on down don’t let this hot fishing spot pass you by.
Come fishing with Buena Vista Sportfishing in Guatemala.

It’s UP and DOWN in GuatemalaIf you know how to time it, and the rest of the variables that the “Fishing Gods” refer to when deciding whether to make your fishing trip to Guatemala something to remember, then the past few weeks have served you well. Kim Graham and party came down once again and hit the billfish hard – they reported passing landing their 1000th sailfish in Guatemala, so they are both doing it right and timing it well (and of course keeping count accurately!!).Sure enough, they turned up again just as the moon was turning and had several fun filled days of pretty much nonstop fishing action with fish in the teasers consistently throughout the day. They also managed to hook and release a good sized marlin – which have been noticeable so far only by their absence this season until very recently.The “UPs and DOWNs” refer to both the volatility of the fishing, but also to the weather. In conversations with other Captains and visitors, all have commented on the strange weather patterns and currents that have been prolific in most places this year from as far away as Ecuador to Mexico Mazatlan. Whereas we are normally blessed with warm and calm consistent weather patterns from November until May, we have been besieged this year with a series of small cold fronts (not to mention earthquakes !) that have travelled through the region. We have also had our weather influenced by some of the significant storms that have been hanging out in the Gulf of Mexico – and we are 800 miles and at least 2 good sized mountain (volcano) ranges away.We had one of the “Shared Angler” trips down this past week also, which went well as far as the anglers were concerned – although the first and last fishing days they were faced with a strong 4 foot chop going out with seas that refused to lay down until early in the afternoon. This also coincided with the bite – as when fish were to be found, it happened mostly after lunch – but even then with a cautious bite that lacked aggressiveness and commitment on the part of the sailfish, making it very difficult for the fly anglers in particular to hook up consistently.The trophy fish for the shared trip clearly went to Rob Sekely who struggled mightily with a Blue Marlin in the 300lb range. Unlike the sails that we had been seeing, this marlin was committed as soon as the belly bait was in the water and the scent permeated sufficiently for him to hunt it down. It is always a thrilling sound when you hear the International 50 zinging out line as the Captain kicks the boat into full throttle to ensure a good hookset. This marlin clearly got the message early on, and it only took one good look at the stern of the boat for it to hurtle off porpoising in the direction of Mexico. Rob was having none of it, and clamping down with the drag held on and turned the fish. Danillo the mate on the Reel Diver graciously brought over water for Rob, but at the Captain’s direction poured it instead over the reel to try and stop the bearings from melting – and then passed the remainder onto Rob to drink. First things first.

FISHING: Good
Captain Marcial raised 3 marlins and released one blue 400 pounds. He was 3 for 5 on sails and topped it off with two Dorado of 30 & 40 lbs. We were 0 for 0 or roosters on the Furioso as we listened to the action unfold 20 miles offshore.
