Tijereta Guatemala Sailfish Ready for Christmas

[Guatemala Dave]

December 20, 2010 Christmas holiday in Guatemala is Beach time and especially fishing time. We are getting some trips together so if you want to squeeze between Christmas and New Years act NOW. We are seeing some great fishing going on and the Tijereta did get in a trip last Saturday. Captain Gerry was hard at work, but he did manage to snap me a picture of one sailfish that was released out of a total of 5. Hopefully he will keep the camera handy and keep sending them along.



Here's a photo from our 18th of December fishing trip on "Tijereta"! The weather was excellent , and the sailfishing is also! We released 5 sailfish and had a total of eight bites. Had one dorado hit a rigger line , but he got away with the bait! The fishing here in Guatemala is definitely on with some days seeing 20 to 30 fish raised.

Capt. Gerry has also started sending me some pictures from his Caribbean, Rio Dulce trips and that looks fantastic. I ll be posting a lot more on this option but at the moment you can check out the trips on www.parlama.com and here is just a bit of the Tropics.

I think that is the "blackest marlin" that I have ever seen. It looks like a mud marlin.

This may be a stupid question but why is his color so dark or is it just the camera angle?

and I guess the camera angle, sunlight and general mood have something to do with it, but they always seem pretty dark to me down there.
