The seas offshore are mostly protected by the huge “bay” that is formed from the Baja down to Panama – and then the ridge of volcanoes that sit to the east – all of which combine by the grace of nature to generally provide shelter from the Pacific breeze. We have been – or rather our clients : Huebner, Northcott, McCarthy – experiencing about a day a week for the last couple of weeks when the waves have risen and shown their white caps. By midday we have seen peaks to troughs of 8 feet or more. This is when you are glad that you splurged for the heavy hull of the mighty Bertram, as it cuts through the seas with minimum roll and importantly keeps the baits trailing straight and true.
You are also glad that the blue water has come in to about 20 miles from the dock making for a short run to lines in, and a comfortable hike back to the dock.

The fish don’t seem to mind in the slightest – we have had some EXCEPTIONAL FISHING – with some boats raising up to 80 billfish in a day; a slow day has had us raising in the teens – but with plenty of good size fighting Blue Marlin mixed in along with lots of big bull Dorado and even some black tuna.

Peter Huebner found the fishing to be so great on his first visit with us last year, that he couldn’t wait to bring down his son Eric and friend Roger Eger and his son Riley. Their first day out saw 36 sailfish raised with 21 released – a fine introduction to bluewater sportfishing for the boys………..where can you possibly take them now he asked ??

Mike Northcott came all the way from Blighty (better known as the UK) with his son and party, determined to fish the ocean dry and do the same to our bar in the villa. They about succeeded on their second objective.

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


The fishing continues to improve and each day becomes more consistent - and with more of the fleet going out each day, locating the pods of sailfish is also becoming quicker and more predictable. If you want to catch a billfish - or even a Blue Marlin - on the fly, now is a GREAT time to come down and give it a go.
