Guatemala continues to be the surest destination on the planet to catch billfish on fly rods. With more raises and bites then anywhere in the world you will have the best opportunity for successin the fertile waters off The Guatemalan Coast.
Mid-April brings warmer temperatures to our area. With those warmer temps the dorado and yellowfin fishing heat up as well. May – August offers the traveling fly angler some of the most diverse fishing in the world. Sailfish, dorado, yellowfin, and marlin are abundant. Read newsletter

They selected bluewater fishing as one of the sporting activities to be offered and showcased on the leisure day, and relied on Pacific Fins to organize the 12 boat adventure for a total of 56 anglers.  read newsletter

Summer is winding down. The Labor Day weekend is almost upon many of us. As you gather around the TV for the start of College Football or outside next to the grill for that cookout with family and friends – we wanted to give you something to think about. A special offer from Pacific Fins to join us for some spectacular fishing in October & November. These are 2 of the top fishing months in Guatemala and among our captains’ favorite times of the entire year. Read newsletter

Kirk & Krista Courson arrived for their 8th trip with us. Joining them were Matt Sim and Caristella Weale. They still have 2 more days of fishing, but through the first few days on Fortuna they have raised 35 sailfish, had 32 bites and released 19. Yesterday they caught something very rare in Guatemala. A Wahoo. Everyone was so excited by the size they actually drove back to the Lodge mid-morning to weigh it. 75 lbs. Read newsletter

Like the rest of the world, the below-the-border scene is changing rapidly, attracting the attention of the PCS staff. Looking forward, the theme seems to be bigger and better. Hotels are becoming grander, new marinas built over the past few years are maturing, and others in the process of being built are pushing to open. We have a variety of picks worth keeping an eye on in 2012 – operations firmly anchored in sportfishing that offer all kinds of other amenities for the traveling angler.

A total of 1,169 Billfish were released during the 4 Day Tournament held in Guatemala during November 28 – December 2. Congratulations to Carlos Barnes, good friend from Puerto Rico on his 1st Place with 24 Billfish!
