An Incredible Month of Marlin Fishing in Guatemala


 
Pacific Fins Resort in Guatemala is renowned for its prolific Pacific sailfish numbers throughout the season, but there’s even more to discover in these abundant waters. Alongside sailfish, anglers often encounter dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna, and even blue marlin, which made an impressive showing this past October. The waters off Iztapa saw a surge in blue marlin, giving Pacific Fins’ anglers plenty of action. Here are some highlights:

  • Double-Digit Marlin Raises: Boats had multiple days with double-digit marlin appearances.
  • Seven Blues Released in One Day: A single boat achieved an impressive feat, releasing seven blue marlin in a single outing.
  • Fly-Caught Blue: Frontiers’ client Dom Quinlan landed a blue marlin on the fly—a rare and thrilling achievement.

These are just a few standout moments, and there were plenty of fish landed in between. While not every season may deliver these results, it’s encouraging to know the potential is there. With the peak sailfish season just around the corner, now is an ideal time to plan your visit to Pacific Fins.

Conveniently located on the canal, just 90 minutes from Guatemala City, Pacific Fins offers a well-maintained fleet and expert captains who know how to maximize the calm, fish-rich waters Guatemala is famed for. Suitable for anglers of all skill levels, Pacific Fins is especially adept at putting guests onto sailfish on the fly. For more details on this exceptional destination, please contact Joe Koziara.
