HOLA ANGLERS!

As usual Guatemala's August marlin bite is in full swing.  In Guatemala the summer months most Captains consider to be ''off season'', its only because the seasonal rains discourage folks, and lack of traveling anglers stops us from fishing.  If we don't fish regularly, we can report or stay on the fish!  To be honest the summer months can be just as good if not better than Jan to March.  For sure the marlin bite is darn good, and BIG blues.

The seasonal rains will actually start to flush out debris into the ocean, causing a perfect habitat for breeding mahi, and ideal marlin bait.

This past Saturday a local boat called ''Chechos'' raised 12 marlin, only released a few and several sailfish in the mix.  Amongst the blue marlin was two stripe marlin as well.  So grand slam time?  This is too good to be sitting around hearing about it.  Capt Chris Starrs and some local tournament anglers are setting our tomorrow to see for themselves.  Armed with the long lens camera & go pro, we are looking for footage and action.  More to come!  Keep in mind this is natural marlin fishing at its best, no FADS, and only 25 miles, returning the same day.
