Two weeks ago we hosted a group of 12 on their second annual “boys trip” to Guatemala. The group fished on 3 of our boats, the Captain Hook, Fishy Business and Hooked Up. The group was truly astonished at both the fishing and the beauty of Guatemala. Several of the guys were first-timers to Guatemala and they were blown away by the fishing. Overall the group raised over 150 sails in 3 days, a couple of marlin and enough dorado to produce sore muscles!
Day one of the boy’s trip proved to be the slowest of all three days. The seas were a bit choppy in the morning but laid down nicely by mid-day. Lee Martino and his two son’s Mike and Daniel, raised 5 sails but only managed to hook 2. The group stayed busy catching 4 dorado, 3 of which were over 30 pounds. Meanwhile, the Fishy Business had a similar day going 3 for 5 on sails. Capt. Haron on the Captain Hook, had a better day only a few miles away with 7 sails released on 9 bites and several large dorado.
Day two saw much better action, with all three boats raising over 20 sails and catching numerous Dorado.
Captain Tito on the Fishy Business and Captain Nestor on the Hooked Up managed well over 20 releases, and the Captain Hook had two shots at blue marlin. One marlin came up slashing at the left bridge teaser and then bit the tuna we ran out but did not hook up. The second marlin pounded the right bridge teaser hard and ran off quite a bit of line before disappearing. This was a big fish and she definitely got everyone’s heart rate up!
Day three was another great day, with plenty of fish around. Each boat saw over 25 sailfish. The Fishy Business had a double, and a triple on bait and twice had 4 sails after a fly! This was a special day for
Wayne Andrews as he caught his first sailfish on the fly on his first attempt. Brad Wendkos also caught his first offshore fish on a fly rod, a nice dorado about 30 pounds. Afterwards, while the other two anglers were busy with multiple hook-ups, Brad took a long nap and when he awoke, said “that nap just topped off the best fishing trip of my life!”
Last week the action continued to be right up to Guatemalan standards. Our boats raised over 20 sails per day on average, caught plenty of dorado and managed 2 blues and 1 black marlin released.
The fishing as never been better, so what are you waiting for?
