We are already getting our next group on Christmas day.  26th and 27th we will be way off shore chasing bills.  The bite has slowed down by Guatemalan standards, but 40 miles south east will get us in fishable water.  Yesterday one boat released 15 sails, which is great, but they had to push way off shore for it.  The water temp is around 84 degrees and perfect for marlin and sails, just need a bit more blue water to turn this fish on again.

Points I will try and hit despite the 40 plus mile hike:

13° 20.92´ N / 90° 20.55´ W

44.5 NM 153° Mag.

Tight Lines and Merry Christmas

The bite is HOT, HOT, HOT!  We fished Thursday and Friday (Dec 16th and 17th), with impressive results.  While we fished a bit short at 25 miles to find the bite to be slow, the radio talk further south was all positive.  Before we started our troll south to meet the other captains we raised a nice 300 lb blue marlin which took the 20 lb penn (not the 50 we pitched) and gave our client Bill a 55 minute fight!  We then released the big fella and continued to end the day with several more sail fish raised and just a few releases, and a few dorado in the box. 
The next day dec 17th, we filled up the tank and punched out to the 40 mile marker where we were greeted with a very hot Guatemalan sail fish bite!  We raised at least 25 sails, hooking 15, and releasing 6 sails.  At one point we had 4 sail fish in the spread.  Incredible numbers!

The bite continues to improve despite the full moon upon us.  Right now we have intense schools of bait fish, sails, marlin, and we know where they are.  For now all I have to offer is this half decent video of our past clients.
