Fishing Dec 9 through the 11th, 2018
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.

HOLA ANGLERS! May 19th, 2018 report.
Summer rains kick loose the blue marlin bite. Every year it happens, the stage is set, the food is there! Short runs, as many as 8 shots a day at blue marlin.
This past weekend Saturday 19th of May. Sails Call saw assorted action.
20-14-9 Sail Fish
2-2-0 Blue Marlin (bad luck)
10 nice mahi and 1 yellow fin tuna
Can't complain. June to Aug marks peak marlin months and usually its close fishing. 10-20 miles in the shallows.
More to come!

FEB & MARCH HIGH-LIGHTS 2018
It gets to a point when you're too busy to even report, and I thank our incredible following and staff for such work. Why we encourage our fans to follow us on instagram or facebook for live reporting, easier for the dock reporting. For now enjoy some high-light pictures.
In a nut shell LOTS of sailfish as expected, many on the fly for first time clients, a couple nice blue marlin on the fly, and many blues on the bait. Since Oct the Mahi Mahi bite this year has been incredible. No shortage on fresh fish fillets! A great season as we get April going and even have regular groups into May to look forward to. Check out the summer months as the blue marlin action gets very good and we offer big discounts.
Tight Lines,
Capt Chris
