Guatemala Fishing report January 4th 2009

Happy New Year – Feliz Navidad !!

This Guatemala fishing report is for the week ending January 4th 2009 and is prepared by The Great Sailfishing Company operating out of the new Pez Vela Marina.

It’s great !! It’s awesome……………it’s warm down in Guatemala !!!!

While we poor folks up North have been trying to work off the Christmas excess by shoveling snow, raking rooves and cracking ice – the fortunate few have been down well South of the Mason-Dixie experiencing lots of bluewater action.
