November 14th, 2015 Fishing Report: Marlin Bite is very good in Guatemala
Right now the blue marlin bite has been incredible in Guatemala. From 15 miles to 45 miles, the blues are all over. 3 days, over a dozen boats fishing in all directions have had at least mutiple shots a blues, many BIG blues in the 500 lb class. But why? Well El Nino actually has been known to increase our marlin strikes in Guatemala. The warm temps further south seem to push the fish and currents up our way. We are fishing mid 80s on the water temps, which normal for us in Guatemala with Sailfish. Meaning the affect of El Nino don't really affect our surface temps. So the El Nino actual helps our cause in Guatemala by pushing fish out of areas like Panama, Costa Rica.. In addition to 2 marlin releases out of the past 3 days of fishing, while seeing 6 in total, we have raised 80 sailfish, gotten 65 bies, and released 43 (lots of pulled hooks!), as well as 4 big mahi for lunch in the 25 lb range. You can't complain in Guatemala right now! VAMOS!!!!!!!
