This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending

November 26 th 2007 and is prepared by

The Great Sailfishing Company

operating out of the new Pez Vela

Marina.

Fishing over the last few weeks has been steady, with

raises in the high double digits the norm. – a slight dip over

the full moon last week, but numbers of releases for both

Sailfish and Marlin have been strong since.

The bite has been especially vigorous first thing in the morning,

and this has been made easier and more convenient for

anglers with the blue water moving in as close in as only

10 miles.

We welcomed the Schafferius party to our new villa this

week – complete with swim-up bar, satellite TV and amenities

…….all the comforts of home without the washing

up !

More importantly, we welcomed them aboard the Joint

Venture for their first days fishing, and put lines in at

9 miles from the dock.

The action came thick and fast, with Sailfish aggressively

pursuing the teasers. They raised 20 Sailfish on their first

day out – with 15 bites and 8 releases. Also in the mix, and

brought to the boat was a 350lb Blue Marlin and some

good sized Dorado for the table.

The season has now started in earnest, and the early

indicators are good for plenty of billfish this year – hopefully

the marlin will hang around as well !

Correction : I reported last week of "Grand Slams" being

released (Blue/Black marlin and Sailfish). I regret that

this was in error and due to my poor translation (literally)

of the Captain's report. In fact they reported several "Slams"

of Blue Marlin, Sailfish and Dorado. Apologies for that – we

like to be accurate in our reporting.

A strong [b][url=http://www.GreatMarlinfishing.com] Marlin[/url][/b]

bite, good numbers of Sailfish raise and caught – and even

food for the table……….things are definitely looking up in the

rich fishing grounds off the Pacific Coast of Guatemala.

The boats are ready, the crews are primed – come down and enjoy

the buildup to what we hope is going to be a great season

fishing with The Great Sailfishing Company

We still have availability for some of the popular dates, so don't

wait, give us a call at 1-877-763-0851 or send us an email (below)

Bio: tSaltwater fly-fishing at its best : Guatemala Fishing has earned a worldwide reputation as THE destination for your billfish fishing trip because anglers regularly have shots at 20+ Sailfish per day. For all of the bluewater anglers, there are opportunities for Blue marlin and Black marlin as well as Tuna and Dorado.

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 !

The Great Sailfishing Company has been providing economical all inclusive conventional fishing and flyfishing in Guatemala for many years. Whether you prefer the luxury and privacy of a Villa staffed with personal chef, maid and waitress, the larger resort atmosphere of the Villas Del Pacifico – or the smaller complex of Costa Verde, we will be happy to work with you to ensure that you enjoy the fishing trip of a lifetime.
