Guatemala Fishing Lights for Christmas, Saltwater Fishing Report

December 23, 2010 I just got another email from Capt. Gerry and getting him on the water gets him more into it. The Tijereta is looking more and more like a great platform to enjoy Guatemala's Pacific Ocean and Gerry is putting her on the fish. Here is his own report:


Hey Capt. D.!
Here's a couple of shots from "Tijereta" 's Wed. 22nd Dec. trip with lots of dorado action and a wonderful double hookup and release of sailfish. We caught 7 out of 9 dorado that bit , and right at the end of the day got our two sailfish up. The full moon effect was full on, with the fishing sluggish on the feed all morning (except for the hoards of school dorado) and finally the big fish getting hungry again lat in the day. Steady reports of marlin every day and sailfish jumping all over the area.
Weather is fantastic, cool enough for us northerners to really be comfortable!
Capt. Gerry

I'm Glad to be able to post reports here and this week the "Tijereta" is fishing hard so I know I will have additional reports as soon as things calm down.

Captain's Bio: I have been involved with fishing Guatemala's Pacific Coast since 1990 and actually released the first Sailfish of the First International Light Tackle Association Tournament in 1991, coming in 4th overall for the event. I booked trips for Paco Maza's "Golden Sail Lodge" and we hosted "Mark Sosin's Saltwater Journal" in the mid 1990's. There is no doubt that Guatemala has the worlds best sailfishing and the big name big money boats have arrived, but now with the help of Capt. Dennis Wheeler and Parlama Sportfishing I would like to bring this great fishery to the "Average Guy" and do it in a classy way with the utmost safety and comfort to our customers.
