The fishing picked up from last weekend with some great days up to 35-40 bites per boat, then slowed down some though has picked up again the last few days with a huge body of fish coming in with a strong WSW current pushing hard a little inshore and to the east. All this may bode well for an incredible bite as the fish right now are spread over a large area, if we get some more south to the

It has been a while since the last report, though, we have been fishing fairly regularly since the last one and finally time for an up-date. All in all April was below average fishing as far as sailfish went, we had plenty of blue marlin in the spread and great days on the mahi's though all in all not your average April.....I don't think there will be any trend in this, just a seasonal glitch

So far we have had a very good start to March '11 with some big bodies of fish moving through and good action for most of our clients. We have had our slowish days in between though that's fishing and for the most part the bite has been great. It is the busy time of year and they say a picture tells a thousand words so here is the last couple of weeks with few words and plenty of pictures.....

Fishing has continued to be all in all very good here off the Pacific coast of Guatemala, we've had our slow days though that has lead to the fleet looking and ultimately finding new bodies of fish moving in. Things slowed down a little in the middle of the month though a run out to the west where some better water moved in uncovered large areas of birds, signaling sailfish balling up very small

There has been a huge body of school sized mahi's move in though and with them blue marlin hot on their tails.

Nov. 20, 2008 - The season is just getting started but so far we have had some great action. On November 11, we hosted a film crew from The Presnell Sporting Collection. They came down to film a new promotional DVD. Fishing aboard the Hooked Up with Captain Haron Valdez, the group was treated to some great Guatemalan action. On the first day they raised 14 sails and had 11 bites and caught 8

Fishing Report – Guatemala Nov 5 - The season is getting off to a great start. In the past week, most boats have been raising between 12 and 21 sailfish, with one boat releasing 61 sails in 2 days. Most boats are also catching 10 to 15 dorado and 8 to 10 yellowfin tuna. The tuna have been nice sized with the average being 30 to 50 pounds. Perfect for Sushi! No real marlin action to speak of yet

Sept 18, 2008 Don’t come to Guatemala unless you want to catch LOTS of fish. The fish here seem to always be biting – 12 months a year! Just last week I was reminded of this when I took the Rods & Reels team out for a short cruise and BAM, suddenly it was Mahi-Madness. The volcanoes of Guatemala had not yet faded into the distance before our reels started screaming over the clear blue Pacific.

It's the slow time of year for us here in Guatemala and you'd really have to question why with generally great settled weather on the coast and good fishing to boot. When you are the only boat out there it can take a little time to get on to the fish though overall the fishing has been steady:27th-28th July was our first day out in a while and it did take us a while to get into some action with

30th-31st May saw the return of John Gallio and Lance Stanfill this time with Mike Fox and Cliff Price all from Texas. It was our first day out for a few days and the blue water had pushed in to just a couple of miles off the beach so we started at 5NM out where a few yellowfin tunas were busting. We put out the baits and had a nice small yellowfin of just under 30lbs almost immediately, after

Fishing up till now had been very slow, though it had been mentioned that things can change overnight, they did, and luckily for us we started fishing the very next day with Greg Miner and Josh Thomas from New Orleans on the 12th. The highlight of the day was Josh hooking up to a nice black marlin that came up on the flat-line teaser and engulfed the pitched mackeral bait with an incredible bite.

Brett Johnson and Chief Tauzin were back in town this time with Josh Fink and Shanon Richard, all from Houston TX. On May 2nd there was a big body of green water that had pushed in, the best water we could find was a clean green and we had slow fishing as a result. We covered some area looking for the bite though all we caught was a 15lb dorado and we raised a sail on the bridge teaser that

We had the pleasure of fishing Steve and his friends for both days, fishing was great on Saturday 26th, we released 15 sailfish from 25 bites and a nice blue pushing 400lbs on the 50lb stand-up tackle.

Allure mate, Julio, gets a wrap on a fiesty blue of around 150lbs caught on 20lb test....April 7th-9th. Bill Nelson and Richard Weaver were back this year from Houston Tx to pick up from where they left off last year. They didn't miss a beat either, hooking all their own fish they caught 26 sailfish and a nice 30lb dorado for the trip. We strayed from a pretty good sailfish bite on the second day

Since the last fish report (14th Feb) through to the 25th the bait stuck around. We pretty much fished it from the west all the way accross the bottom of the pocket and inshore to the east, it was moving a couple of miles to the east every day and the current picked up 25th and with it the bait moved out. It was an incredible bite, and wherever the shearwaters were picking and diving there would

Gerald and Mark Micho, Gary Miserlian and Michael Coe with a nice sail.The fishing here has continued to be good with an incredible amount of bait over a big area of water. The bait looks like small butterfish and it is being balled up by sails all over the place. The last few days the bonito have arrived and there have been some big 'foamers' where the bonito are pushing the bait to the surface

A quick report.....The fishing has been outstanding. We have been fishing with Guatemalan regular Jim Williams along with Don Smith and Ron Hauck fishing on the fly. A great bite right at the bottom of the pocket yesterday intensified today, the current is pushing in and there is bait galore.
