]This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending January 15th
2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina .
Well it has certainly been a mixed bag this past week. The fish
remain somewhat unco-operative – the fleet is spreading far
and wide each morning to find blue water and aggressive fish.
The first has not been generally found until 35-50miles from the
dock, which makes it a long first run. The good news here is that
fresh coffee is served on the way out, and the big heavy Bertrams
make as good a coffee platform as the comfy couch at Starbucks.
The second remain more difficult – the fish are there ok., but seem
to be finicky and slow to really chase the teasers or the proffered
baits. The mixed bag for the Fetterman party came in the form of
feisty yellowfin tuna that make about the best sashimi that money
can buy – especially on the high seas with all the accoutrements.
The mixed bag for the Edgar party was formed by good sized bull
dolphin that were duly served up to the group for dinner that
evening ……..it always tastes even better when you just caught
it yourself that afternoon.
The billfishing seemed to improve from the low single digits that we
experienced at the beginning of the week – and we are encouraged
(or at least thinking positivey) with the waning crescent moon. My sense
is that a couple of decent sacrifices to the fish Gods should do it for us
so please come down and help out.
