Casa Vieja Lodge Guatemala, CA

April 10th, 2008 - A brief Guatemalan fishing report from Captains, Anglers, and other unreliable sources.

March 26-27 finds Ken John, Bob Jones and John Adamiak visiting from the "Sunshine State" of Florida, fishing aboard the "Spindrift". The guys had a great bite going on their 2 day trip with sailfish balling bait and cutting on the surface for as far as one could see. The guys raised 158, had 120 bites and released 69 sails.

 April 7-9 finds Les Rosenthal from Gig Harbor, Washington, and Paul Nelson from Tacoma Washington Fly Fishing for their first time for sails aboard the Finest Kind with Capt. Chris Sheeder. The pair raised 52 sails in their 3 day trip with 18 bites and releasing 14. Not a bad start to their sailfishing on the Fly careers.

Here at the Casa Vieja Lodge we had the pleasure of having two of the Industries top Photographers Scott Kerrigan, and Tony Ludovico, filming and shooting above and below the water line during some Great fishing. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled for some great stuff that should be hitting your favorite fishing magazines soon, as well as blessing the walls of the Casa Vieja Lodge in the very near future.

As our summer months approach the sailfishing will become spotty, like the occasional rain squall, with your incredible days still very much a possibility. With enough fishing days to identify your fishing conditions and locate the fish. This is when we go from Quantity to "Real Fish”. Our marlin fishing will peak during the summer months with boats raising 1 or more marlins a day. {I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME NUMBERS, LIKE CHRIS' DAY WHEN HE CAUGHT 5.} Dorodos and tunas in the 10-40 class range will be abundant during these months along with huge schools of False Albacore (Bonita's), and Frigate Mackerel, all of which are favorite forage species for the marlin. So don't let a little rain scare you away, your fish of a lifetime is swimming less than 20 miles from our dock. Summer rates with big discounts start July 1st as well, so call the office at (866) 846-9121 today to book your trip.

Give us a call, there's still time for your trip of a lifetime!
