February has been a pretty good month. We have a little bit of everything. Two fly fishermen who all hooked up on the fly with sail fish, while getting as many as 6 shots on the fly in a given day. This was considered slow by Guatemalan standards, but as the month wears on the bite has improved greatly. Yesterday February 14th I finished my four day ATL group which end with a bang. They had requested to be back at the dock early in order to catch a later flight that night. We laid up in rough seas at 12 miles and the dorado bite was solid. About 1 hour into the morning as we trolled out the sail fish bite took over. We landed two doubles, that should have been triples, and ended the day with 12 bites and 10 released. On top of that we had 8 good sized dorado in the freezer. Good stuff! Once the other lodges and fleets started hearing my reports, I was quickly accompanied by at least 10 other boats. Not everyone did as well, but most finished the day with 15 releases. We are finally starting to pattern the fish again after a rough last week. This is the greatest thing about a small sport fishing community, the ability to help each other out and all get fish in the end. Tight lines!
