Fly Fishing Champ

5x Women’s Fly Fishing Champion Visits Pacific Fins

Katka Švagrová, a professional fly fisher, writer and filmmaker visited us this past week for 4 days. Katka is a 5x time Women’s Fly Fishing Champion of the Czech Republic.

Her group raised 39 sailfish, had 18 bites, released 7 on FLY and 4 conventional. They also raised 8 marlin, had 4 bites and released 2. One of the marlin was 500 lbs. Add in several dorado and tuna into the mix. We can’t wait to see the footage from her trip and will share it when it is finished.  We enjoyed having Katka, Vebjorn and Anders at Pacific Fins.

Marlin Guarantee

We would not expect most anglers to know about the incredible marlin fishing in Guatemala. As a destination, Guatemala has mainly promoted it’s sailfishing for the last 20 years. And rightly so – it is the best in the world.

Over the last few seasons Pacific Fins has marketed our “Marlin Guarantee.” Florida Sport Fishing has written about it. The Angling Report has too. We took a big (perceived) risk the last few seasons by offering it.

Now with 2 seasons under our belt one thing is clear – We are performing and clients are getting their Marlin – the whole purpose of this promotion.

Our Marlin Guarantee takes place in the months of August, September and October. If we don’t perform it is a significant financial penalty to Pacific Fins.

Book our most popular package, 3 days fishing, 4 nights for Aug, Sept or Oct and we guarantee your boat will get at least 3 Marlin Bites on conventional tackle over the length of the trip!!

That’s right. 3 bites by the man in the Blue, Black or Striped suit over 3 days fishing! And if you don’t get 3 bites we are willing to do the following:

1 to 2 MARLIN BITES:
50% of the value of your trip will be put towards a future trip at Pacific Fins (and it is transferrable).

0 MARLIN BITES:
100% trip value! Your party comes back for a FREE 3 days fishing, 4 night trip.

If you want to FLY FISH we guarantee your boat will raise 6 Marlin over the course of the 3 days.

NOTE: For the Guarantee – you must actually fish for Marlin!

NOTE: This offer is for the intact group to return together. For example, if you have 4 anglers – it is NOT 4 individual trips.

If you WANT TO TARGET MARLIN think about visiting Pacific Fins in August, September or October. We believe it is the best time of year and we guarantee your results!
