Guatemala Great Sailfishing : week ending Feb 26th

[marlinkjs]

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending
February 12th 2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.

This is seeming to be a confusing season; we had a great bite in late
December and early January….and then it went cold. Both in the sense
of the veracity of the bite, and also for the relative water temperature.
It appeared like we had recovered, and the fishing was coming back to the
“norm” of catches in the teens for February………… but it has stayed
stubbornly in the single digits for most days.
Up and down the Pacific coast, we hear similar reports of less aggressive
and less numerous bites than expected for this time of year……..but we
live in hope and anticipation of it really turning on.

On the positive side, we are seeing and catching a good run of Blue Marlin :
The Carr party had 2 good sized Blues in the spread on their penultimate
days fishing. Unfortunately the fish refused the fresh Bonita belly baits, and
despite being surround by tasty teasers of all flavors, and just wouldn’t
bite seriously. I’m happy to report however that that was resolved on their
final day as they hooked up and brought to the boat a 500lb Blue Marlin……a
good trophy to accompany the 7 sailfish caught that day. Congratulations !
