[
]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.
