This fishing report is for the week ending 07-09-06 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing Company which operates out of the new Pez Vela Marina, Guatemala. The fishing grounds for this past week have remained from as close as 16 miles to as far as 35 miles. Seas continue to be mild ranging between 1 to 2ft to moderate at 3ft. This week skies ranged from partly cloudy to overcast/cloudy days, with a few days bringing light to moderate rains during the day and a few nights with heavy downpours.Most days started with light breezes in the mornings and picking up in the afternoons.
This week again saw some good results with boats reporting releases in the mid single digits to low double digits, one sportfishermen reported 12 releases out of 20 bites. Another had 4 releases on the fly. Once again few sportfishing boats ventured out midweek with most of the bill-fishing on the weekend. Our boat the Joint Venture had a local charter with the clients wanting to target meat fish. They were rewarded with 12 dorado in the 7 to 12lb. class, 3 Yellow-fin tuna ranging from 10 to 15lbs. along with releasing 3 sails.
