Guatemala Fishing report July 10, 2008 The Running of the Bulls This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending July 10, 2008 2008 and is prepared by[b][url=http://www.GreatSailfishing.com] The Great Sailfishing Company[/url][/b]operating out of the new Pez Vela Marina. As many of you who have fished in Guatemala will know,we keep a “weather eye” on two key indicators first thing inthe morning on the dock. The first is whether the volcano “Pacaya” is swathed in mistand high cloud – a sure sign of moisture at high altitude andoften a cold front coming through.The second is a quick glance at the steam rising from thecondensing towers in nearby Puerto Quetzal – an obviousindicator of current wind strength and direction.The integration of these two data points generally forms the “Dock weather forecast” for the day and the successive coupleof days – albeit with diminished accuracy. This “Dock forecast” is generally very good from October untilJune – when the Pacific Coast of Guatemala is blessed with light winds, calm seas and mostly sunny days for weeks and monthsat a time…..a remarkable correlation to the weather forecast.This time of year however proves to be more of a challenge tothe sages of the dock, for as fast as they can cast an eye over distant Pacaya and so voice their opinion of the weather to come………. it will have changed. The onset of the rainy seasonmeans that the winds can come up and change direction quickly – causing the bait and the billfish to scatter and much less concentrated. Largely because of this, we have been raising only 5-10 billfishper day for the last few weeks, and the Blue Marlin have beennoticeable only by their absence.On the positive side, the rains in the mountains have causedtheir regular flooding of the rivers and tributaries – pushing debrisout to the ocean. Trees and crates are to be found floating at 10-15 miles from the dock – and provide perfect ecosystems forjuvenile fish to flourish. These in turn attract one of the most prolific and efficient predators of the ocean, Coryphaena hippurusAKA Dorado/Mahi-Mahi/Dolphin.Once the Dorado start to feed, there is little that will stop them ! Theywill consume almost anything as juveniles – achieving remarkable growth rates of as much as 3 inches/week and doubling their weightevery six months. This makes them not only prized fare for the table, butalso a great sport fish particularly on light tackle. This can be a great time of the year to come down and take advantageof the plethora of fishing that is available – from billfish to dorado to roosterfish…………and also to take advantage of our Summer Special : Fish 3 or more days and receive one day FREE http://www.greatsailfishing.com/en/specials.htm We are booking strongly already for some of the popular dates nextyear, so don’t wait, give us a call at 1-877-763-0851 or send us an email (below)to check on dates – we would look forward to welcoming you to some of the finest fishing anywhere.
