This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
March 26 th 2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela Marina.
As one of my old bosses used to tell me "The hardest part of Forecasting is the predicting the future bit .." ..and we have been predicting/hoping for some weeks now for the bite to pick up to the standards expected of the rich waters of Guatemala.
Finally the blue water has moved closer in and the appropriate stars seemed to have lined up so that the billfish have concentrated and are feeding well. There has been a steady improvement each day over the last week, with the numbers of fish raised each day now comfortably in the teens and twenties.
The "Reel Diver" had a high day late in the week with 35 raises and constant action through the day. The Karr party had "11 by 11" fish to the boat yesterday, when they decided to switch and try some reef fishing for Pargo and Grouper but a strong start to the day ! The Blue Marlin are still around, but the numbers have diminished as the conditions now are clearly more favourable for Sailfish.
We are hoping for the bite to continue through the new moon, and look forward to the last part of the season (hopefully !) being the best part of the year for our clients over the next 6 weeks.
Our Favorite Fishing Quote for the week:
"Reading about baseball is a lot more interesting than reading about chess, but you have to wonder : Don't any of these guys ever go fishing ?"
