Guatemala Fishing Recommendations

sureshot375 · Monday at 9:16 PM

I’ve been kicking around the idea of heading down to Guatemala to catch some sailfish and other pelagics .

Any of the AH crew have firsthand experience with an outfit you liked?

I haven’t fished Guatemala in a long time.. but I’ve got an office in Guatemala City and a few Guatemalan national employees.. I’d be happy to ask them for recommendations if interested..

If you have a spare day, make the trip to Antigua.. beautiful little city with some cool history and cool shops that less than a 2 hour drive from Guatemala City

Thanks!!! Sounds like a great source for intel.

I will have to check out Antigua for sure.

Sure,
You have two well known choices and a couple others…
They are all right next to one another
1) Casa Vieja Lodge
2) Pacific Fins
3) Buena Vista Sportfishing Lodge (lesser known)

You fly into Guatemala City and take an arranged shuttle down to the coast or some take Helicopters (I’m sure it’s a bit pricey but you see the Volcanoes etc and it’s cool)

Look at your dates… moon phase etc.
I had one of those incredible 100 sailfish days… when the bite is on you should catch 15-25+ plus some incidental Mahi etc.

The first two are both World Class, well known lodges and operators. You cannot go wrong

I’ve fished Guatemala and the tournaments down there numerous times with many different outfitters.

The best of the best in my opinion is Jason Brice. I highly recommend him.

Went to Sailfish Bay a couple years ago. Best fishing I've ever experienced in 20 some trips to central america. You will see way more "guards" with machine guns than say Costa Rica but we never felt threatened in any way. People were super nice. Boats could have been better but the fishing more than made up for it.
