Current Report
This fishing report for week
ending 11-26-05 is
prepared by The Great
Sailfishing Company which
operates out of the new Pez
Vela Marina,Guatemala.
The 2005 Presidential
Challenge starting 11-19-05
and ending on the 21st.
This years turny saw a lot
of action with the two top
boats releasing 39 sails and
a marlin each,with one
hour making the difference
between 1st.and 2nd place.
The action ranged between 20
to 40 miles with a couple
of boats going as far as 50
miles on the last day. We
weclomed Alex McCleod out of
London,U.K. who joined us
for 4 days of fly-fishing.
Alex who had been
fly-fishing in the past for
sails had yet to boat
one,Alex read that Guatemala
held the worlds record
for sailfish both with
conventional tackle and on
the fly. So after some
reseach he booked his first
trip to Guatemala.After
boating 12 sails in four
days with a few that got
away Alex said ¨Guatemala is
all that I have read about
and it sure feels great when
those dreams come true¨ Not
only was Alex rewarded with
12 sails but several dorado
on the fly as well. Alex
fished on-board The Stragos
31ft.Bertram and fished
between 20 to 25 miles.
