AND were back Anglers,
As we begin to open up operations, we are greeted with one of the better Octs we have seen in a while. This 2020 fall has been posting numbers well into the 60 to 70 bite days on sailfish! As well as the expected blue marlin bite and some BIG 100 plus LB tuna further offshore.
We start fishing this week finally.
Travel has resumed to normal for the most part. It was a hold out we hope will never repeat itself. However, the show must go on and we are ready to rock once again. Many improvements to our lodge & vessels. We look forward to 2021 season. The most famous dock in the world is starting to fill up.
Hola Anglers. Been a while!
This quarantine is taking its toll. To have such a great fishery and not be able to fish is probably the worse part. This is 100% why I live in Guatemala and I can't even do what I came here to do. I guess join the club.
These boats need to run all the time to avoid issues, so my oldest Daughter and I have been sneaking out with special permission to check on our fish!
Keep in mind Guatemala has a 4pm curfew. So these are also basically half day reports. The stocks are stacking as mother nature reclaims what's hers.
REPORT
2 day report. We fished 1 week apart, day trips only. To keep our sanity.
2 weeks ago. At just 14 miles.
We found the sailfish bite. Bonitas, jelly fish for days.
27-21-14 sailfish, 1-0-0 marlin, 2-1-1 Mahi and home by noon. The main thing we wanted showed up as the last fish as we hooked a nice mahi mahi for dinner.
April 26th- A week later, we went offshore to the east to try a new spot. Trying to find logs for mahi as we need FOOD. We were greeted by one of the better yellow fin tuna days I've had in a while. At one point these fish were shouldering on the surface ONLY biting surface poppers. NOT just a billfish fishery. Very exciting.
We ended up with 9 yellow fin around 40 lbs. Missed a half dozen sails on the tuna gear. Great day out and enough table fare to get us through another week plus.
Stay positive folks. Hopefully we will all be fishing soon. Where ever that is enjoy fishing!

Hola Anglers!
Finally had a nice cold front arrive as we got pounded on by waves! However, we needed this cold front to move some water. We had a big area of green water parked on the pocket for over 2 weeks, which met runs of 50 plus miles to clean water.
Sailfishing was tough, but the always entertaining mahi mahi bite made up for that, as well as a good tuna bite on day 2. Final day we saw 4 blue marlin! 1 bit and broke us off. Several stripe marlin on other boats too. Again mahi mahi between billfish bites kept us on point. The lodge cook was happy to have Tuna & Mahi meals fresh from the boat as well as we were happy to eat it! We start up again the 21st for a quick 3 day group before Xmas. More to come.
