Last couple days we were fishing a local tournament and since about 3 days we came across a large area holding fish. The current pushed these fish from 39-40 miles to 25 miles over the last couple of days. Great with fuel as costly as it has been and good for increased fishing time. Calm weather and big numbers, this is what the spring bite is all about. Also if you're lucky to come across TUNA, it has been pretty good. Keep that radio off...

Bring on April!
First portion of April was more about the meat than anything. BIG mahi, nice yellow fin and with luck you'd see just about 15 sails in the spread most days, a marlin here and there. Most days we would be live baiting on some loaded down logs or debris. We do it all.
Finally mid April the bite went off (or recovered) and we were the ones who stumbled upon them. Offshore to the west, off the ledge we had our first 40 bite day in while. From there on, it got GOOD. Boats are having no problem even seeing 60 fish behind he boat! Ndow that's what Guatemala is known for.
Just last week we even had a double header (same time) a sailfish and blue marlin with a family from FL. Many families traveling throughout the region taking advantage of cheap air fare, no crowds and great fishing. The great thing about lean charters for all the outfitters here is the lack of pressure on the fish. You can't beat Guatemala and how much water you have to yourself. In general this fishing gets no pressure.

HOLA ANGLERS!
The first portion of March was very good. Better days of 40 shots at sailfish, as well as tuna in the 50-90 lb range. We are still running a good 40 miles one way to the western ledge but it's worth it. Go where the fish are! The better fishing comes in waves. The 3rd week of March slowed down. Top days maybe 20 shots at sails, but BIG mahi in the mix, yellowfin tuna fishing once you find the spinners is also productive. Our biggest challenge is green water stirred up after a few days of tough wind in the region. Once that settles down the currents move it out and hopefully bring in the good stuff with fish.
Fishing has been solid right up the gut of the pock. Just 25 miles many boats are seeing 40-50 bite days on sailfish and a very nice blue marlin fishery! Offshore on the same line you can expect to find big tunas with more sailfish and marlin in the mix as well. As you can see you better have a Capt at the helm using terrafin or you can be in fishless green water all day on either side. Knowledge is power! This Friday & Saturday we will be fishing hard with some friends from Lousiana. Above is a nice sail we got with our group last week. Fished a half day with 20 sailfish bites and some mahi mahi. More to come!

AND were back Anglers,
As we begin to open up operations, we are greeted with one of the better Octs we have seen in a while. This 2020 fall has been posting numbers well into the 60 to 70 bite days on sailfish! As well as the expected blue marlin bite and some BIG 100 plus LB tuna further offshore.
We start fishing this week finally.
Travel has resumed to normal for the most part. It was a hold out we hope will never repeat itself. However, the show must go on and we are ready to rock once again. Many improvements to our lodge & vessels. We look forward to 2021 season. The most famous dock in the world is starting to fill up.
