We Chartered the Canaso with Captain Mario Valdez and stayed at the Gorgeous Buena Vista Sportfishing Lodge. Lodge entrepreneurs Jodie and Susie Elswick have built some tremendous improvements to the lodge. They additional a extremely great resturuant underneath the rancho and new docks at the marina.

upon arrival we have been greeted by the total workers and Marianna and cindy had colourful cocktails waiting for absolutely everyone. Jody invited us to the bar wherever they had appitizers waiting for us and an inviting pool. We place our things absent and comfortable for the afternoon. Later that evening we dined on rib eye steaks, fillet mignon, dorado fillets and spoke of about the fishing to be had the subsequent morning hours. Capt Mario advised me that the fish had been near to the seaside so we shouldn’t have a long run. The up coming morning we made the ten mile run and had a fantastic day of fishing really going twenty-23 on sails and -1 on a striped marlin. The subsequent day was eleven-15 and the closing day was 8 for 8.

The captain was keeping an ear out for the number of boats that were generating extended runs and considered it uneccessary at the time but occur saturday we would need to make the operate. He defined that while fishing shut to the seaside can be really accommodating and comfortable for the anglers it is not that great for the sails. Guatemala has a fleet of gillnetters that disregard the ban on business sailfishing and have no dilemma using the sailfish and promoting them for $ six a piece to a single of the two fish housed that purchase them. He stated its much better when the sails maintain forty miles offshore so the fleet of local gillnetters will not likely go.

Our very first group’s journey had arrive to an stop and it was time for the next group to come in. Alex, Mo and Max showed up with wonderful anticipation of the fishing but I had warned them that it was obtaining slower by the day. But tomorrow we have been to consider additional out and see if a new pod of fish had moved in. We had a fantastic afternoon of fishing right after a sluggish start off and went 17-24 on sails. What a fantastic introduction to Max who had by no means caught a pacific sail. He was pumped for the next day. Max and Mo could not believe the support we were getting by the Canaso crew and the people at Buena Vista. We had fresh burgers grilled by the mate for lunch. Each early morning we had mangos, pinapple, apples and yes BANANAS sliced and diced for snacks. I will explain to you that the bananas didn’t bring us any negative luck. That night we all dined on refreshing caught snook and it was out of this globe. What we didn’t know was that overnight the motherload of pacific sails ended up commencing to settle in for a couple days. We made it out forty miles in slick calm seas the next day and began the day off with a ambigu and the two out of a triple and then a ambigu and then a ambigu and then two out of a trip and then and so forth and many others and so on and many others ALL DAY Long. Our ultimate tally for the day was 27 releases out of 46 bites on sixty raises. WOW. Now that was planet class Guatemalan sailfishing. We barely had time to dine on our refreshing grilled burgers and dolphin sandwiches on the boat but we undoubtedly discovered time.

The very last day was a lot more of the same. The water was quickly pushing offshore so we commenced close to 50 miles. The doubles and triples began correct off the bat. by the end of the day we have been stuffed from the chicken fajitas and exhausted from one more day of elevating 59 sails obtaining 38 bites and releasing 18 sails and missing an incredible blue marlin little bit.

Back at the lodge had the cook get ready some stunning lobsters and finished off the journey with chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream for the men. WHAT A Excursion.

Thank you Jody for a great excursion. Hope you men like the pics!
