Bill and Kelly Munro brought down friends Butch and Gwen Boyd and Johnny and Rita Ann Smith all from Beaumont, Texas to Guatemala for 2 days of fishing and a full day in the Spanish Colonial city of Antigua for sightseeing, shopping and of course drinking beer.....
To the fishing, we went east stopping a couple of times after going through patches of green then blue water and settled on some nice water about 25NM out, getting into a fish immediately, soon after we raised a big fish, pushing alot of water on the rigger bait. We had the mackerel back there in no time and were turning when the fish came up on the flat line teaser, winding the bait up to the teaser the marlin disappeared again. Circling around one more time the fish came up on the bridge teaser, and teased us before going down and not eating the mackerel. It was a nice one of around 500lb......The rest of the day produced fairly steady action raising 24 sails, getting 21 bites and releasing 12, as well as Kelly catching a nice 20lb dorado that feed everyone for the 2 days on the water. Our second day out we stopped in a little closer at around 17NM and the first fish we had up for the day was blue marlin of around 200lb, it teased well, ate the pitch bait, pulled line, and pulled off. On the sails we raised 18 had 16 bites and released 11 before pulling in lines at 2.30, being back at the dock for 3.30 and transferring them to the Casa Vieja van and to Antigua. Dinner at the spectacular Panza Verde, a walking tour the next day and an afternoon at Casa Santa Domingo watching the Football playoffs capped off a great trip for the Munro group. We're looking forward to seeing you guys n gals back next year.
