Maine Striper Fishing with Super Fly Charters & Capt. George Harris: Guatemala Hot Right Now!!!

For those of you who like me, plan to soon be fishing in central america,(Panama,Costa Rica, Guatemala) the next few months should offer some red hot action. Here is a recent report form Pacific Fins Lodge located in Guatemala Marlin fishing remained strong throughout December and the waters are filled with sailfish and dorado.

Capt. Mike Genoun and his wife Leah visited Guatemala for their first time. Mike is founder and editor of Florida Sportfishing magazine. Fishing aboard Hooked Up, with Capt. Nestor, they started fast with a 350lb blue marlin and 17 sailfish on their first day out! Their second day continued hot with more sailfish and they added 15 dorado between 20 and 35 lbs. Their final day they raised 2 more blues, Mike hooked one and released a nice 250 lb marlin and added more sails and dorado.

Bill O`Keefe and family arrived on December 26th to fish aboard his boat Fishy Business, with Capt. Tito, and in 3 days raised over 100 sails, releasing 60. They also raised several blue marlin and caught boat loads of dorado.

The bite continued to be good as the New Year rolled in. Captain Haron Valdez aboard the Captain Hook, raised 25 sails in the first three days of the year and went 1 for 3 on blue marlin. The group also caught quite a few yellow fin tuna and dorado, making for some great meals!

The fishing in Guatemala is truly second to none. Since the early 90’s our Captains have averaged 15 to 20 sailfish bites per day. This is about 3 times the averages seen Costa Rica for comparison. Every now and then we have a day that is just hard to believe and yesterday was a prime example, with several boats raising over 80 sails and catching over 50. This is the kind of action that makes Guatemala legendary for billfishing.

And if the fishing action is not enough to keep you entertained, how about some whale watching! Just offshore we have been watching numerous humpback and grey whales passing through on their way north. We have spotted several recent births and our clients have been photographing and filming the whales. We are looking forward to some great footage and will be placing photos and video on the website soon.

We are in the prime of our season right now and the weather and fishing action should be outstanding for the next few months, so call us today at 888-700-3467 to book your fishing adventure
