November 26th, 2015 Fishing Report- Iztapa Guatemala (short day)
Its rare that we get to fish on Thanks Giving, strictly family day. However, this year my father made his way down to Guatemala to visit family, and we made an exception for ''Papa John''.
Just 12 miles in front of the port we put em out, and weren't dragging for more than 20 minutes when a nice blue marlin in the 300 lb range crashed the short teaser. Since the mate was running the boat, and my old man and I were fishing, I pitch the aggressive marlin the mackerel 50lb, and got it hooked up. Just a 15 minute fight, and we got the ''quickie'', AND got a TAG!
We continued to see 8 more sails in the same area, 7 bit, and released 4, as well as we saw two more BIG blues that wouldn't eat. Only 3 hrs at 12 miles and we still made it back to see the Lions win against Philly. Fishing offshore was just as good as many boats finished up the day with 25-30 bites each, and marlin here and there. The blues actually seem to be on the inshore drop at just 15 miles. Flat calm out there. Monday we start back up. Incredible fishing this year, can't describe it.

November 14th, 2015 Fishing Report: Marlin Bite is very good in Guatemala
Right now the blue marlin bite has been incredible in Guatemala. From 15 miles to 45 miles, the blues are all over. 3 days, over a dozen boats fishing in all directions have had at least mutiple shots a blues, many BIG blues in the 500 lb class. But why? Well El Nino actually has been known to increase our marlin strikes in Guatemala. The warm temps further south seem to push the fish and currents up our way. We are fishing mid 80s on the water temps, which normal for us in Guatemala with Sailfish. Meaning the affect of El Nino don't really affect our surface temps. So the El Nino actual helps our cause in Guatemala by pushing fish out of areas like Panama, Costa Rica.. In addition to 2 marlin releases out of the past 3 days of fishing, while seeing 6 in total, we have raised 80 sailfish, gotten 65 bies, and released 43 (lots of pulled hooks!), as well as 4 big mahi for lunch in the 25 lb range. You can't complain in Guatemala right now! VAMOS!!!!!!!
