HOT HOT BITE!
Jan 20th, 2011 the bite is hot again in Guatemala. However, you have to work for it. There was a good crowd gathering at about 35 miles, as we all trolled out in random directions looking for the concentrations of sail fish. Finally we got word at just about 38 miles (from Chris Sheeder) there was a good late morning bite (about 9am). At about 40 miles we had the best results with at least another 12 boats trolling on top of one another. We ended the day with 18 bites and just 6 releases. We had a new guy on board who hooked all of his fish, as well as took home a nice 15 lb dorado. Happy camper to say the least. The water content is perfect, temperatures are in 83.5 to 84.5 range. We were able to push out at 30 knots with almost no chop. The boats that fished later raised as many as 40 fish that day. Great teasing fish for the fly, and just a great time in general. Saturday we are out again, then Tuesday, and then Almost two full weeks straight through of fishing! So don't expect a new report until mid February. We will keep you posted on facebook.
Tight Lines,
