Guatemala fishing report Jan 28th 2007

[greatsailfish]

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending January 28th
2007 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing
Company operating out of the new Pez Vela
Marina.

It has been unusually slow fishing for Guatemala over the last
couple of weeks – the common wisdom among the wizened captains
has been that the water temperatures at the colour changes
have either not had enough gradient, or the temperatures
themselves have been a couple of degrees below normal.
This had resulted in bait not concentrating, and hence the
Predators find it harder to find food, and they themselves
become harder to find.

The weather has improved significantly this last week – and it
certainly seems to have positively effected the fishing. The bluewater
has come in to about 30 miles from the dock, we are seeing
regular billfish raises in the low teens per day – along with catches
of good size (20-25lb) yellowfin tuna and dorado.s

Our catch of the week has to go to the Wuori party, who are
demonstrating their skill at hooking up to the sails – but
somewhat unusually for Guatemala also managed to hook
up to a feisty striped marlin this week – and saw another in
the spread.

Our Favorite Fishing Quote for the week :

Man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses
Has it coming”
