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.
March 27-30 Finds Anthony Cuomo, Vito
Portera, Dick Riley, Wayne Sorokowski, Howard Kalka and Richard Cuomo
fishing aboard the "Finest Kind" with Capt. Chris Sheeder, the "Intensity"
with Capt. Mike Sheeder, and "Yours Truly" aboard the Release" the Guys
were fishing Conventional and Fly during  their 4 day trip. The fish bit well
on the baits, but were very finicky on the fly due to the fact that the
fish were balling baits, which made them very hard to switch from the
teasers to the fly. The guys released 110 sails regardless between the six
of them in the 4 days Including a 400+ blue Marlin caught by the young Man
in the crowd Mr. Dick Riley from San Diego, California while fishing with
Capt. Chris on the Finest Kind
April 3-6 finds Kendrick
Mattox, Patrick Holder, George Macon, Moultrie Dotterer,
Callum Prerry, and Cooper Fowler aboard the Release. In their four day
trip the guys released 5 fish on the fly and 23 on the baits, the fishing
was a little spottier but on the 6th of April due to a planetary alignment
and other unforeseen factors the guys raised 63 fish in the last five hours
of their 4 day trip, of which they released 2 for 7 on the fly, and in the
last 1.5 hours released 12 from 27 bites. It was a sight to behold there
were sailfish milling and cutting on large balls of bait accompanied by
whales that were also in on the action. The fleet was fishing in very
tight quarters and I was pointing out pods of sails while hooked up, to
other boats that were trolling by. It was definitely
"ON".
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.
"Forecast"
 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!
