A Right Pearler....! Mr Pearl & Mr Blacker Return From A Memorable Trip In Guatemala!

blog story: A Right Pearler....! Mr Pearl & Mr Blacker Return From A Memorable Trip In Guatemala!
Mr Pearl & Mr Blacker have recently returned from there trip to Guatemala. You may have read on the blog about the unbelievable first few days fishing, well the fishing didnt slow down for the whole week! Read what they had to say about the memorable trip right here!

Hi Peter just a few lines to let you know how much we enjoyed our fishing trip to Guatemala from the minute we landed we were looked after by the rep who called himself jeremy so we would remember his name. To the time we were dropped back at the airport a week later.

The holiday surpassed our expectations the food the hotel & the weather.But the fishing was out of this world between the two of us we had 58 sailfish from about 80 pounds upto about 150 pounds & we had approx 25 to 30 Doradro up to about 28 pounds. we had a quick work out of the figures & that works out at 1 Sailfish every 30 minutes over the 5 days fishing not including the Dorado which were great fun & would have been good sport on light tackle. All the boats & there crew were fantastic & we left the marina bang on time every day so we got as much fishing as possable. please see the photos attached Daved is the one with the Sailfish i am the one in the light blue shirt.

Thanks H Blacker

Ps we are saving our pennies for the next time.

Fly Fishing

  by Rod G

Have been told buy the guys at Angling Direct Holidays that this was the best place to try and catch Sailfish on the fly. I was not sure as I have had so much bull from other companies, but reading your report although you guys used light tackle with that much action it must make good sport opportunities for the fly. Anyone else had experience please.

Thanks for the comments! It does seem that Guatemala is the place for Sailfish! Should hopefully get out and sample some of that later this year! Looking forward to trying to catch a few on the fly rod!
