Hola Anglers!
Finally had a nice cold front arrive as we got pounded on by waves! However, we needed this cold front to move some water. We had a big area of green water parked on the pocket for over 2 weeks, which met runs of 50 plus miles to clean water.
Sailfishing was tough, but the always entertaining mahi mahi bite made up for that, as well as a good tuna bite on day 2. Final day we saw 4 blue marlin! 1 bit and broke us off. Several stripe marlin on other boats too. Again mahi mahi between billfish bites kept us on point. The lodge cook was happy to have Tuna & Mahi meals fresh from the boat as well as we were happy to eat it! We start up again the 21st for a quick 3 day group before Xmas. More to come.

Dr. Bruce & Son,
Some regulars from Colorado came down for some June fly fishing action. Proven that Guatemala doesn't sleep from a sailfish perspective.
All of the action was just 12-15 miles!
Top Day June 12th resulted in 6 for 8 bites on the fly and 1 mahi on the fly. 15 sailfish in the spread.
June 13th we had 9 bites on the fly and just 2 releases! Tough bites, and lots of angler error.
Following days resulted in many more sailfish raised, but most were keying on the bait. The boat fishing conventional had no problem releasing 15 sailfish per boat.
Same story as weeks part with TONS of mahi in the spread. Actually better to be fishing with just teasers to aviod the little mahi from cleaning out the bait!
Early July starts another good amount of fishing days. More to come.
