The bite is HOT, HOT, HOT! We fished Thursday and Friday (Dec 16th and 17th), with impressive results. While we fished a bit short at 25 miles to find the bite to be slow, the radio talk further south was all positive. Before we started our troll south to meet the other captains we raised a nice 300 lb blue marlin which took the 20 lb penn (not the 50 we pitched) and gave our client Bill a 55 minute fight! We then released the big fella and continued to end the day with several more sail fish raised and just a few releases, and a few dorado in the box.
The next day dec 17th, we filled up the tank and punched out to the 40 mile marker where we were greeted with a very hot Guatemalan sail fish bite! We raised at least 25 sails, hooking 15, and releasing 6 sails. At one point we had 4 sail fish in the spread. Incredible numbers!
The bite continues to improve despite the full moon upon us. Right now we have intense schools of bait fish, sails, marlin, and we know where they are. For now all I have to offer is this half decent video of our past clients.

CHRISTMAS COME EARLY?!
We recently sent the fat cat out 40 miles this past sunday to release 12 sails, and a hand full of dorado and one blue! Just two days later at about half the distance one boat started radioing in a ton of raises for sails. Our boat quickly made it in the area to find a super hot bite. As many as 75 sail fish were raised by ONE boat! The top boat hooked into 35 sail fish, and we are heading out with reel dirty Thursday December 16th to find out what the deal is. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bite is hot and la nina is proving to be a plus for the Guatemalan scene!

We are weekend warriors for the most part going forward into the holiday, but looking at the Terrafin I would hit the south west in a hurry. The blue water is coming in thick and the temperatures are holding at about 84 degrees. LOTS of life just 15 miles off shore. Most captains are setting up at 20 miles and trolling out. 20 raises are common and so far this season is looking damn good. We are also getting a lot of blue's in the 200 to 300 lb range. We have spots here and there for rest of the months going forward, drop us a line to get hooked up.

Here we go for your November 29th fishing report! We made it out this past weekend and the sails are all over the place. Blue water starts as early as 10 miles, and good fishing is straight out at 15 miles. A great time to get a grand slam in Guatemala. We hit double digit releases for sails, and caught about 10 dorado that were hanging out under a floating tree. In addition the blue marlin are showing up on ever third day of fishing it seems, while we did raise one shy marlin. Right now inshore we have a GREAT rooster fish bite. From Iztapa all the way down to Monterrico you can get into some rooster action. We usually use live bait, set up on the wave break and let the bait swim into their feeding seam, also we free cast crank baits. Very productive fishing in Guatemala is the summary. Tight Lines,

Blue water is finally taking over off the shore of Guate, and just in time. The presidential challenge for 2010 is wrapping up this weekend and according to reports last weekend, the marlin bite has been the highlight for this tourney. Blue and even Striped marlin have been released at the 50 mile drop off and often. The casa vieja fleet saw a great deal of action, while a lot of independent boats reported the same. As I always say, ''it doesn't matter who you are, any boat and captain can be the top boat of the day''. Very exciting information none the less! We are itching to get out this weekend to see for our self what is out there. You can see on this terrafin chart that blue water is either a good 18 miles SW, or you can head straight out south to the 47 mile marker and get into marlin action. Everything is picking up as expected and a good time to get to Guate for your next fishing trip. Ask us for our best deal and you will be fall out of your chair. We are that affordable!
