JOHN & ANN PRICE
Ann’s first ever sailfish, one of a double header
March 16-17. John has fished Guatemala since 1994, that’s some history and it was awesome to fish with him. In 2 days John and Ann raised 63 sailfish getting 41 to bite. Some tough to convert bites, with a lot of bait out there the sails were more in predatory instinct than eating mode….
A couple of big mahi’s as well and a great time had by all.
STRYKER GROUP
March 14-16 fishing aboard Sirena the first day and Intensity for the next 2 this crew had a blast with 24 sailfish released and several nice mahi’s in the bin.
That’s a wicked shot…..
SPRING BREAKERS…..
March 13-15. Cool to fish with the next generation coming through. Aboard Allure II and Makina, mixing it up between conventional tackle and the fly this crew raised 93 sailfish and released 53 as well as plenty of large mahi’s and 5 yellowfin tunas.
Awesome trip for the guys with plenty of stills, video as well as a couple of drones we’re looking forward to sharing their vid here soon….
1st class lunch.
MICHAEL LANE GROUP
Capt Michael Lane, Gary Jones, Lee Doehring and Hunter Lane
March 11-12 we caught up with Michael and Hunter Lane for the first time in 3 years. This time introducing Gary Jones and Lee Doehring to Guatemala.
They went 33 from 58 bites on sailfish, a blue marlin for Lee and 11 large mahi’s all in the 25lb-35lb class. Great 2 days on the water.
Found this late on their first day, at 1:15pm they were 3 for 7 on sailfish, by 3:45pm and time to head to the dock they finished up with 20 from 34. A great afternoon bite!
