Fishing Reports

Boats have gone fishing 25 miles away having around 15 sailfish.

 

Weather can’t be better…

 

Tomorrow Captain Jody will fish on the Furioso with Dobson, Ed, Mark, Jim and Charles from Washington DC

 

We will update you tomorrow.

 

Today John, Larry, Jim and Steve (alltackle) from Maryland went out 35 miles on the Furioso with Captain Fito and  super mate Jeff Kirby they had 09 sailfish release for 15 raised and 1 Dorado of 17 pounds.

The morning was slow we went 1 for 5 with Larry catching his first sailfish , late morning we moved 3 miles and the fishing improved dramatically.

In the afternoon we caught 2 pairs of doubles with tailors everywhere.

The water was perfect conditions for sail fishing. At the end of the day Alltackle Steve missed more sailfish than the rest of the crew. Hopefully we can work with him tonight on his technique.

Today we picked Captain Joe Riley, his plane arrived Guatemala at 11:30 am on the way back to the lodge he was telling everyone that he had come from a place with 42 inches of snow on the ground. He was talking about our Nation’s Capital Washington DC and surrounding areas.

 

We were telling him our friend Harry Mason was fishing on the Monkey Business with Captain Fito and mate Danilo, on a perfectly blue ocean with perfectly blue sky and absolute perfect temperature.  They were a little below average with only 9 sailfish and 12 raises. But went home happy.

 

 

 

The water was rough in the morning and leveled out a bit in the afternoon.  Despite these unusual conditions for this part of Guatemala they still were able to raise 20 sailfish with 16 bites and 12 releases. They also had a marlin come up in the baits but unfortunately they were unable to catch it.

 

Harry again was fishing with Captain Marcial and his mate Danilo and they all had a good time.

 

Captain Joe Riley was supposed to arrive tonight to fish on the Furioso for the next days but was delayed by the weather

 

Keep in touch and we will let you know how Captain Joe does over the next few days.

Capt “Fito” and his wonderful mate”Danilo” aboard the “Monkey Business” led Nick Bartle, Al Rittmeyer and Kyavan Ulisys to a total of 30 sailfish raised, landing a total of 14 and 2 double bites. The weather was a delightful 78 degrees and the sea was calm after running 33 miles out.

Capt Jimmi and mate Gesler aboard Furioso, a 31 Jupiter ran 27 miles calm fishing close to Monkey Business. Aboard was another group of Maryland fisherman, Bill Pino, Jeff Cox, Glenn Orr, Larry Lee and Tony Bastista They had into 18 bites and landed 11 sailfish all estimated at 100 + Lbs!!!, Also landed were 02 dorado, 20 and 25 Lbs each.

As all awaited the snow report from back home in mp, several guest reluctantly had to fly home early for business and there families.  

Capt. Kevin Owens had to return to Maryland Thursday afternoon so Monte Elswick and John Treanor drove Kevin back to Guatemala City to catch his flight out.

After leaving Kevin, Monte Elswick and John Treanor toured the city of Guatemala making their way down to the town of Antigua.

We shared a wonderful lunch at an  ancient monistery, and then toured the grounds for amazing photos opportunities.

Also in attendance was the president of Guatemala which made for an interesting dining experience.  

Friday was another relaxing and over fun filled day at Buena Vista.

Capt Fito and mate Danilo ran the remaining group of John Treanor, Jeff Cox, Larry Lee, Glenn Orr and Bill PIno out for a little bottom fishing. We received a radio report of a yellow fin tuna bite about 35 miles out; we pulled up the lines and headed to the spat. We were amazed to find thousand of spinner Dolphin jumping and flying through the air! We cincled the area landing a nice 25 lbs. Yellow fin Tuna. We later switched back to top water baits landing five large sails fish” The entire group jumped in the water for some amazing photos before releasing the fish!

We returned early to the docks to be greated with Coconut daiquiris, and  yellowfin Suchi.  

The remaining group spent another wonderful evening enjoying kabobs and delightful deserts. We shared our tale of the week while “Jimmy Buffett” played softly in the back ground. After a dip in the pool, we returned to our rooms for another good night’s sleep.

We can´t say enough good things about the staff at Buena Vista. We all agreed that we had being treated like  Family and this relaxing but action packed experience will prompt us all to return to this little bit of paradise that we all desires  in our lives.
