This Guatemala fishing report is for the two weeks ending

July 30th 2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing

Company operating out of the new Pez Vela

Marina.

When the weather cooperates, we are continuing to see

some excellent concentrations of billfish in the waters off

the Pez Vela marina. Most days have been warm and calm,

but we are in the official rainy season, and so it can also

sometimes be a little unpredictable.

We were pleased to welcome Sherri Larkin and her group

recently – and they encountered both sets of conditions.

The first day out fishing on the Joint Venture the seas were

a solid 3-4 feet and the going was rough at times. Despite this,

they persevered and were rewarded with 3 good size sailfish to

the boat.

Their second day out however was at the other extreme: calm

seas and balmy temperatures….and the bite was HOT. They

hooked into two Blue Marlin (one of which was specimen size

for Guatemala at 600lbs+) as well as bringing some dorado home

for the table. The Sailfish made an excellent showing for this

time of the year, with 30+ raises and 15 to the boat for the day.

So much for the low season !

Overall a great trip ……………"We had a great time, thank you

so much……….it was absolutely amazing and exceeded our

expectations………you guys did a fantastic job and your

staff…………….were fantastic."

The fish are still here, and are still biting aggressively –

it's not to late to come down and enjoy the "Low Season"

in Guatemala, home of the World's Best Sailfishing.

The coastline and ecosystem support vast quantities of bait year round and warm eddies hold large pods of sailfish between 2 and 50 miles from port. Guatemala holds many official (and unofficial !) records for Pacific Sailfish including most in a day on conventional (124) and on the fly (57)...as well as most in a season..................so there is clearly no shortage of action !
