TRAVEL BRIEFS
Guatemala Style
First-Class Fishing and Service at Pacific Fins
By Dave Ferrell
The last time I visited Guatemala – more than 15 years ago – this small Central American country remained a relative mystery in big-game fishing circles…
Another great month for fishing down here in Guatemala’s pristine Pacific Coast!
Activity was abundant, with Sails, Marlin and Dorado showing up on every trip.Sea conditions were calm, weather was quite hot and we did get some rain during the nights. Apart from a good number of repeat vacationers that came down to fish at Pacific Fins, we did get more trips from locals and Corporate Clients. We are getting ready for Summer, so do check out our specials in order to take advantage and bring the whole family along for a great vacation!
We at Pacific Fins Guatemala have been so busy taking care of our anglers during this past two months that it is until now we have the time to recap and share the best experiences, fishing results and offer you the best new deals available. Read Newsletter
The fishing down here in Guatemala has been exceptional this past month. Numbers are as impressive as the comments we get from our customers. Our boats have been averaging around 30 bites per day, with 85ºF weather and calm seas. Read newsletter
Being able to explain the pleasure we get from watching our guests come down from the boats with such a happy expression is just out of this world. Read newsletter

The fishing season in Guatemala has officially started, and the billfish know this pretty well! We had groups like the Hanson’s that released 91 sails in 3 days, fishing aboard Fishy Business.

Ask anybody who’s been there and they’ll tell they’ve never seen as many billfish as they have seen of the Pacific Coast of this quite country. A trip to Guatemala is like taking a journey back in time, when the fishing was epic and the road was less traveled. While some of the old hot spots simply aren’t what they used to be, Guatemala is thriving from a lack of fishing pressure and an unbelievable billfish population. Many of the world’s top billfishermen have discovered Guatemala. As Marlin Magazine wrote in a recent article, “It’s no big secret that the captains and mates in Guatemala see more billfish than anywhere else in the world.”
As a physician I always try to order the right thing for my patients. This time I self prescribed an outstanding fishing trip to Guatemala. I have been fishing aggressively in the ocean for thirty years. I used to tournament bill fish in Hawaii and placed fourth in the Maui Halloween tournament. Fifteen years ago I started fly fishing for tarpon, bill fish and salmon. I have fished extensively in Costa Rica during the last six years.
Pacific Fins Resort & Marina is Guatemala Fishing at its best. Our boutique hotel with private villas and suites is located in the world’s most productive billfishing destination. We offer all-inclusive fishing packages with a la carte dining, open bar, and custom, personalized service. Our setting on the water and attention to detail is unmatched in Guatemala.
