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 ?"

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.
