December 23, 2010 I just got another email from Capt. Gerry and getting him on the water gets him more into it. The Tijereta is looking more and more like a great platform to enjoy Guatemala's Pacific Ocean and Gerry is putting her on the fish. Here is his own report:




Hey Capt. D.!
Here's a couple of shots from "Tijereta" 's Wed. 22nd Dec. trip with lots of dorado action and a wonderful double hookup and release of sailfish. We caught 7 out of 9 dorado that bit , and right at the end of the day got our two sailfish up. The full moon effect was full on, with the fishing sluggish on the feed all morning (except for the hoards of school dorado) and finally the big fish getting hungry again lat in the day. Steady reports of marlin every day and sailfish jumping all over the area.
Weather is fantastic, cool enough for us northerners to really be comfortable!

My interview with Tom P. has already shook up a couple sailfish aficionados and they will be headed south, If you missed the Rack and Fin Radio Show I should have it posted up here for all to hear shortly. All these fish stories are really making this NJ cold even worse and I can't wait to be able to get my own travel plans together. Besides I will really miss the Christmas celebration in Guatemala. I wish everyone could see the fireworks that completely fill Guatemala City at midnight on December 24th, it is truly amazing, and the Tamales that come after are pretty darn good as well.
