About Blue Bayou Guatemala

''The good ole days are now!''
Welcome to the most fertile billfish waters in the world.

Guatemala's pacific coast produces incredible numbers of aggressive sailfish daily. Average shots of 20 sails a day, with peak numbers into the 80 to even 100 shot days! No one knows when the bite is going to fire, so for that reason our bait boxes will have no less than a float of 60 baits ready for deployment and hundreds frozen below that. Guatemala's billfish season is YEAR ROUND! We've had hot days in July to hot bites in January, these fish pretty much just go round and round. Our eddy currents keep bait and fish trapped which is a result of our location in the famous ''pocket''. A fishing hole with 100 mils of edge that come close to shore off the continental shelf. 14 miles and you're at a 1000' drop. In the mix of that we have 3 varieties of pacific marlin species (Blue, Black & Stripe), and plenty of mahi mahi & quality yellow fin for table fare. No one day is the same. Grand slam potential for bill-fish along with BIG numbers, or bloody fish boxes full of yellow fin and dorado. Let the Blue Bayou Lodge show you what we have been doing for 16 seasons as we celebrate 2024-25 season! Enjoy the sailfish capital of the world, Iztapa, Guatemala. It's worth noting that our lodge is very hands on and we will teach you how to drop back baits on hungry sailfish, by day three you will be up to speed on hooking your own fish. This is tournament preparation style of fishing.
