Since 2003, Angler West TV has brought relevant, interesting and informative fishing related programing to West Coast and national viewers.  With the highest ratings of any fishing show airing on the west coast, AWTV continues to deliver the type of programing that inspires viewers to get out there and go fishing themselves.

YO-ZURI’s latest full version video of their recent trip to PF is out – see below.

Chris Bishop, SR National Account Manager of Yo-Zuri America says: “Yo-Zuri is very excited to announce a new partnership with Pacific Fins Resort in Guatemala.  The billfish release numbers that the captains for Pacific Fins post each year are staggering and you can’t do that without the top tackle on the market and Yo-Zuri line and fluorocarbon leader are exactly that.  Pacific Fins is a top notch resort that provides their guests with an exceptional experience and we’re honored to be aligned with them.  Simply put, Guatemala is the best sailfish fishery in the world and Yo-Zuri makes the highest quality products on the market, it’s a natural fit!”

Pacific Fins is delighted to announce partnership with YO-ZURI, manufacturer of quality fishing lures, fishing lines, and leaders in Japan for over 50 years – a company known to many fishermen around the world.

Our fleet demands the best and when you are fishing for billfish who can put any products to the test…we want to make sure what we have in our arsenal, can withstand the rigorous torture a bill can inflict on leader material. This is why from now on, all our Accurate reels will carry YO-ZURI mainline, braid, and leader.

Last week, the guys from YO-ZURI traveled to Guatemala to do some testing on their products. This also gave them the opportunity to film the experience and see first hand what Pacific Fins offers and the fishery we have. Below is a teaser clip, full version will be coming out soon!

Little did people know… Hall of Famer, Wade Boggs is an avid angler. A 12-time All-Star third baseman, Boggs was with the Boston Red Sox from 1982 – 1992. Later in his career, he went on to win a Championship with the New York Yankees. – Yes folks… two teams that can’t see eye to eye.

We are so pumped and look forward seeing him take part of such a great event. Don’t be left out, call us today as reservations are limited.

When Capt. George Gozdz, host of Unfathomed was looking for an appealing destination and a place with non-stop Billfish action, he looked no further than Guatemala.

“I just returned from a trip to Pacific Fins Resort in Guatemala and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The resort is outstanding with the friendliest staff, great accommodations, and delicious food and amazing drinks. Fishing is world class out of the resort. Hungry Pacific sailfish traveling in wolf packs allow for an incredible number of shots in a single day. In addition to the sails we also had multiple marlin opportunities as well. Almost a side note but a true treat for me was the yellowfin tuna and mahi that made there way into the spread each day. Once caught, the tuna and mahi are quickly prepared on the boat by the mates and lunch was a spread of mahi carpaccio and tuna sushi- no fresher fish could have been served.

Although I was there filming a fishing show, Guatemala honestly has so much more to offer than the fishery. We traveled to the foot of the volcano Fuego and witnessed first hand the devastation created when in erupted several months prior. Humbling to stand where so many had lost there lives. We also climbed to the summit of Pacaya and watched glowing red lava pour out of the peak as the sun set over the land. We toured coffee fields, visited ancient ruins in Antigua, walked the streets of small fishing villages, and even took in some night time entertainment at one of the local watering holes. The people of Guatemala were always kind and welcoming and at no time during my stay was my safety ever a concern.
I completed a bucket list item by catching my first Pacific sailfish on fly, but the blue marlin still eludes me. I was not too disappointed missing my blue marlin because I knew this gave me the excuse to return to Pacific Fins Resort sometime soon”. – Capt. George Gozdz.
