Contest Winners Arrive at Buena Vista Sportfishing Lodge
Brian and Doug our two lucky contest winners arrived to Buena Vista yesterday with Dave. They had a great flight into Guatemala city and found our rep Sergio with cold beverages and a air conditioned Bus.
Arriving in the lodge they were great by D'yana and Asuzena with cold beverages and a lunch of grilled chicken and soup with rice. They were already to get the evening started.
We asked our gardener to take the boys our touring the island and do some impromptu Iguana hunting. They were all for this adventure.

GUATEMALA LAST DAY FOR THE HAKE GROUP
THE CAPS LOCK MUST BE ON FOR MY COMPUTER TO TYPE NOW. SORRY
FISHING WAS DECENT FOR THE LAST DAY ON THE FURIOUS. WE STARTED OUT BY MISSING A NICE BLUE MARLIN AND THEN CATCHING A SINGLE SAIL. THE FISH BROUGHT ALONG A GUEST. SO WHEN CAPT MARCIEL SAID THERE IS A SAILFISH WITH IT TIM THREW OUT ANOTHER BAIT. THE OTHER SAIL TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE BLUE OR A STRIPEY. THE FIST CIRCLE TIMS BAIT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES BUT WOULDN'T COMMIT. WE PULLED AWAY A FEW TIME TO TRY AND GENERATE A BITE BUT NO GO. FINALLY GOT THE OTHER SAIL TO THE BOAT AS THE WINDS BEGAN TO KICK UP.
WE THEN CAUGHT THREE MORE SINGLES AND A DOUBLE AS THE WINDS AND SEAS BEGAN TO GET REALLY DICEY. WE DECIDED THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS A LONG TROLL HOME (lth) INSTEAD OF KILLING OURSELVES IN THE BUILDING SEAS. WE TROLLED ALL THE WAY TO THE 2 MILE MARK WITH ONLY A WAHOO BITE BUT STILL AN INCREDIBLE DAY.

The fishing in Guatemala, the sailfish Capital of the world is not only hot for sails but also for marlin.
A four person group staying at Buena Vista Sportfishing Lodge this week released 38 sails and were 3 of 4 on Blue Marlin in just 3 days of fishing. One day in the past couple of weeks with only 5 boats fishing they released 5 Marlin in one day.
Hurry on down don’t let this hot fishing spot pass you by.
Come fishing with Buena Vista Sportfishing in Guatemala.

It’s UP and DOWN in GuatemalaIf you know how to time it, and the rest of the variables that the “Fishing Gods” refer to when deciding whether to make your fishing trip to Guatemala something to remember, then the past few weeks have served you well. Kim Graham and party came down once again and hit the billfish hard – they reported passing landing their 1000th sailfish in Guatemala, so they are both doing it right and timing it well (and of course keeping count accurately!!).Sure enough, they turned up again just as the moon was turning and had several fun filled days of pretty much nonstop fishing action with fish in the teasers consistently throughout the day. They also managed to hook and release a good sized marlin – which have been noticeable so far only by their absence this season until very recently.The “UPs and DOWNs” refer to both the volatility of the fishing, but also to the weather. In conversations with other Captains and visitors, all have commented on the strange weather patterns and currents that have been prolific in most places this year from as far away as Ecuador to Mexico Mazatlan. Whereas we are normally blessed with warm and calm consistent weather patterns from November until May, we have been besieged this year with a series of small cold fronts (not to mention earthquakes !) that have travelled through the region. We have also had our weather influenced by some of the significant storms that have been hanging out in the Gulf of Mexico – and we are 800 miles and at least 2 good sized mountain (volcano) ranges away.We had one of the “Shared Angler” trips down this past week also, which went well as far as the anglers were concerned – although the first and last fishing days they were faced with a strong 4 foot chop going out with seas that refused to lay down until early in the afternoon. This also coincided with the bite – as when fish were to be found, it happened mostly after lunch – but even then with a cautious bite that lacked aggressiveness and commitment on the part of the sailfish, making it very difficult for the fly anglers in particular to hook up consistently.The trophy fish for the shared trip clearly went to Rob Sekely who struggled mightily with a Blue Marlin in the 300lb range. Unlike the sails that we had been seeing, this marlin was committed as soon as the belly bait was in the water and the scent permeated sufficiently for him to hunt it down. It is always a thrilling sound when you hear the International 50 zinging out line as the Captain kicks the boat into full throttle to ensure a good hookset. This marlin clearly got the message early on, and it only took one good look at the stern of the boat for it to hurtle off porpoising in the direction of Mexico. Rob was having none of it, and clamping down with the drag held on and turned the fish. Danillo the mate on the Reel Diver graciously brought over water for Rob, but at the Captain’s direction poured it instead over the reel to try and stop the bearings from melting – and then passed the remainder onto Rob to drink. First things first.

Captain Marcial raised 3 marlins and released one blue 400 pounds. He was 3 for 5 on sails and topped it off with two Dorado of 30 & 40 lbs. We were 0 for 0 or roosters on the Furioso as we listened to the action unfold 20 miles offshore.

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.
