Guatemala Sailfish

In recent years Guatemala’s Pacific has emerged as one of the world’s hottest sailfish grounds. From the fall through the early summer hordes of sails invade these waters. Boats often report raising 15 to 20 sails a day, sometimes over 30 when action is at its peak. With such numbers it’s an ideal location for light tackle, bait and switch tactics as well as numerous opportunities for the fly rodder. Marlin are present as well, though not in the prolific numbers as the sails, along with tuna, wahoo and dorado. Captains and boats are top notch, with years of experience under their belt. Guests are accommodated in small, private lodges, with all the right amenities plus charters close at hand.
