Who is the FURIOSO
Today I joined Jeff Ciuba and Kent Lipton, we went 45 miles west on the Furioso run by Captain Chino (Rossman Fajardo ) and mate Danilo Fajardo, we left the duck at 07.30 am and got to The fishing spot around 09:45 am our 1rst. Sailfish came 15 minutes later and it was hooked by Jeff.
We had a total of 09 sailfish Raised and bites and 07 releases, we also had 02 double bites but in one of this double bite on line cut the other, so we lost the fish.
At 02:00 pm when we were getting ready to head back Capt Chino saw a Marlin jumping and all of us said Lets go for it, and so we did, the marlin ate a little bite of bit on one hook and we lost it but just 1 minute after he went and ate the whole sierra mackarel, it was on Kent´s tackle. After Kent fighting with the marling for about 1 hour the Marlin wanted to show us who was the FURIOSO (FURIOUS) Jeff was sit on the left side of the boat close to the motor and the marlin jumped over the motors way, and jumped in the boat breaking the back of a bench and also making with the bill on Jeff´s bally a small scrape. As he jumped in Jeff jumped out backward.
Jeff is the faster man I have never seen jumping to the water.
The marlin hard hurt itself when breaking the bench on the way in to the boat and we did not have another option that bringing it to the lodge.
This was excellent day; we had to run for around 2 hours, the water was blue, no wind, no big waves.

Guatemala Fishing Report March 9th 2010 - Boom to BustThese earthquakes are getting downright unnerving; the recent massive quake in Chile caused some serious concern and scientific commotion here in Guatemala. The region is obviously very active volcanically, and minor earthquakes are quite common.The territory closest to the volcanoes in the highlands is some of the most closely monitored seismically anywhere – partly to try and ensure that changes in activity levels are flagged, but also because there is just so much of it that has become a scientific data-gatherer’s dream.There were cautionary alerts put out by the US Geological Team post the Chile event that said there was a possibility of a huge tsunami emanating from the centre and pushing out across the Pacific building up speed and energy all the while. You may have read how the Hawaiian coastline was largely evacuated lest the wave came ashore. Being roughly in the path between the epicenter and Hawaii, we thought it prudent to at least move the boats from their moorings and set to sea ….. just in case. Of course the local captains had heard it all before and were slightly bemused by the whole thing, but better safe than sorry.With some delight, minutes past the appointed hour for this huge wave to pass the latitude of the marina, the radios lit up with the chatter over channel 71 that the boats had been hit by a “massive wave” that was estimated at 1.5 feet. They were grinning when they came back to dock at the triumph of local knowledge over gringo science. Still better safe than sorry.Since the last cold front pushed through and as reported last week, the fishing has been close to perfect up until a couple of days ago. We went through a period of a couple of weeks where the fish were easily found and consistently aggressive in the bite. It brought to mind the famous Cimino quote “This is the first fishing trip that I have been on that I caught more fish than drank beer”………..not one, but two of our groups came in early on consecutive days having “caught enough fish”. Don’t hear that very often, but it paints a picture of the fishing !Over the past weekend,, and unfortunately coinciding with Karl Maple and group returning to Guatemala after experiencing those type of days last year – and with similar expectations for this trip – the weather changed and another cold front pushed through. Their first day out were some of the nastiest seas we have seen down here for quite a while. Solid 6 footers with blowing white tops and some rolling up to 10 feet with the current. The fish were holding at about 35 miles, but it was just too far in these kind of seas, and we put lines in at 19 from the dock. It was tough going, and in the end we had to agree that the effort was not worth the reward and we headed in for some inshore fishing instead. It wasn’t much better inshore, and we called it a (weather) day by early afternoon. You have to admire the guys for sticking it out though.That was the worst of it, and Kyle and team stayed with it for the next couple of days as the fishing improved. By their last day out we were raising fish consistently and they managed a decent report after a tough trip.

Guatemala Rooster bite is hot
Yesterday Captain Marcial, mate Danilo, my wife Susy and her nephew Ulises released 7 rooster fish in about 3 hours of fishing.
We were 7 for 12 bites
In these pictures you what the beach looks like as well today Herb Gordon of The Weekend Fisherman arrives to shoot a show so hopefully the bites will stay hot.
On the radio it sounded like the sail fishing was hot as well with most boats getting 30 shots or more.

Myself, Jim Messina (Alltackle owner), Steve Yuhas (Alltackle OC) and Larry spent 4 days and 5 nights at the lodge.
All I can say is WOW. They lodge and employees are all awesome. Fishing was a a bit slow but none the less a great time.
The besy day of fishing we had was 9 for 14 on those big pacific sails. Weather was rough on day 2 and 3 three of our week which by Guatamala standards was unusual.
If you get a chance spend a few days at the lodge and you will not regret any of it.
