Guatemala report

Legend · 08-13-2007, 05:41 PM

Our clients Harry and son Curtis Bush went to Casa Vieja Lodge in Guatemala for just four days (08-12 Aug 2007). Based on what other clients had experienced and reported they expected a few marlin.

Capt. Chris Sheeder reports- "On August 9th Guatemala saw another rare incredible marlin bite.” The Father & Son team fished aboard the Cañaso with Capt. Sheeder at the helm. The bites started early and continued through the day . Amazingly an unprecedented 10 blue marlin raised, 6 bites, 5 released and some impressive sizes too. Two fish were under 200 lbs, two were 300 lbs or bigger and the one was a whopper of 600 lbs. Just catching five blues in a day is not the story. That's been done before.....but not here in Guatemala.

The grand totals for the Bush duo by the end of their fourth day fishing were 25 blue raised (150 lbs to 700 lbs, catching their 700 lb'er on the last day of fishing with Capt. Nicho Alvarenga), 16 to bite, releasing 9. The total raised marlin in the last four days among the three boats totaled 35. A total raise of 14 sails in 4 four days releasing 7.
That's huge and that's the real story!!!!! "

Not only has Capt. Chris seen and caught marlin in the last 4 days, The Conga with Capt. Tyson on the 9th raised 7 marlin and released 3. On August 11, Sam Combs and wife Laurie were fishing with their boat the Teaser with Jose Valdez behind the wheel and they came in with 3 marlin raised and released 2.

Fishing is hot - at least for Marlin.

Several of our boat owners are down there now taking advantage of the situation.

I should have another report from Casa Vieja in about a week. It seems they are the only lodge open during the Summer Marlin season.
