Into the New Year in Guatemala, Tijereta Report, Saltwater Fishing Report

January 4, 2011 Now we are getting into the New Year and with the Christmas to New Year week finally over I got communication with Capt. Gerry. He said it was a busy week with lots of Guatemalans Fishing. Of course they love the action and since the sailfish were being a little hard to come by they concentrated on good eating Dorados that surely made great additions to lots of Holiday Fiestas.



Here's Gerry's Report on the Fishing

The end of the year here in Guatemala found sailfish to be sparse with few releases each day, but as you can see we managed to enjoy some great fishing for dorado up to 35 lbs and saw Marlin most days. We had a really big fish in the spread on the third but didn't manage to get him to take our bait , most likely due to the abundance of live bait right where we found 11 big dorado, of which we boated 6. Weather continues to be excellent with only a few windy norther days!

I'm sure as soon as those "Northers" that Capt. Gerry mention pass as we get a little farther past the Winter Solstice conditions will improve and the sailfish bite that started up in November will be back with a vengeance. My father in law was up for a visit with us last week and I was really impressed with the connections that Spirit Airlines out of Atlantic City International made even working around the monster snow storm. This is great news if you want to get out of South Jersey. I also checked their web site and they have some great pricing in February and March so if the weather has got you down get on the computer and give me a call to check availability and we'll make it happen.

About the Author:

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.
