TEAM DRAGGIN’ UP
February 13-14-15. We were thrilled to welcome back Capt Kevin Deerman and his crew from the famous Sportfishing boat Draggin’ Up to Sailfish Oasis in Guatemala. It’s been a few years since Kevin’s last visit, but he came back with his mates Seth and Conner and good friend Ken.
He took the crew along to prepare for the upcoming tournament season in the Gulf of Mexico and although the bite wasn’t what we were hoping for, the guys did a great job releasing 11 sailfish from 15 bites and raised several more that did not bite.
Like a pro….hold on, he is one.
The last fish of the trip was a feisty blue marlin of about 220lb for Conner on the 30lb test.
With expert guides, top-quality equipment, and access to some of the best fishing grounds in the world, Sailfish Oasis is the perfect place to hone your skills and prepare for competitive fishing events.
SUPER BOWL GROUP
February 10-12. We were equally thrilled to welcome back our Super Bowl group to Sailfish Oasis in Guatemala for their 12th year in succession. An awesome group of guys from predominantly Corpus Christi, they had a great time fishing on three boats: the Allure II, Capt. Hook, and Sirena.
Over the last 12 years, this group has released an impressive 1523 billfish, with this year’s count being a lower than average 59. They also caught plenty of large mahi-mahi.
Air time!
Despite the lower than average billfish release count the group still had a fantastic time here at the Lodge and on the boats, plenty of good humor and good times culminating in Super Bowl Sunday. Everyone is looking fwd to saying goodbye to La Niña and hello to good fishing next year!
First sailfish release for Matt, congrats!

JOE & NANCY
Jan30-Feb 3 Good to see Joe and Nancy back with us. They experienced an incredible 5-day fishing trip at Sailfish Oasis in Guatemala, with a fantastic 31-39 bites ratio.
On day one Nancy missed a striped marlin by just a few feet from the release when the fish jumped toward the boat and threw the hook and then raised a blue marlin on the teaser that did not bite for the potential slam…….
