Guys I recently took a fishing trip to Ixtapa, Guatemala to go Sailfish Fishing.
This was a GREAT experience i defenatly recomend this to anyone who loves to fish.
I did all my reservations with a company in Miami called southfishing.

We fished aboard the famous Capt Hook, with Captain Ron Hamlin.

We were abble to release 31 sailfish in 3 days of fishing.

Ill post pictures in a while, im still uploading them.

i really recomend this trip to everyone. When we went they said that they where having bad days and we still managed to raise 20-25 sail per day.
Thats Crazy....

Great pics, looks like you had a damn good time, weather looked perfect!

The weather there is great, the seas are always calm, a bad sea day for them is fishing in 3-4 feet seas.
Thats great for me im used to fishing here in PR the Carribean sea is 90% of the time 6-8 feet.

But Guatemala is great. Its very different, the bad thing is all the poverty. In Ixtapa there are people who still dont have electricity. And in Guatemala city youd be walking around and in every corner you would see 2 private officers with machine guns. Even in the KFC they had a police officer with a shot gun in the entrance. Very impreseve, defenatly not what we are used to.

Allready planing my trip for next year to go back in february.
