A Day on the Ice

We headed out to Spray Lake for a day of ice fishing on Sunday. The fishing was slow but the scenery was spectacular....

Final Day at Buena Vista

As the old saying goes, "if it was easy everyone would be doing it." On those daqys when it isn't easy it pays to have the right tools to get the job done. Today was one of those days, the fish had moved and those on boats that couldn't make the 50 mile run didn't catch fish. The Furiouso had no difficulties and today was Sandi's day with sail after sail with three dorado tossed into the mix for fun.
Be sure to catch the all new episodes of Outdoor Quest TV in the new year including this trip to Buena Vista Sportfishing in Guatemala.

Marlin!!!!

Today the fish were on fire! Sail after sail and several marlin including this monster. Guatemala is certainly living up to its reputation as the hottest deep sea fishing destination on the planet and we have spent the last two days on the top boat (Furiouso) and Captain (Marciel) in the fleet at Buena Vista Sportfishing

Day 2 with Buena Vista

Another perfect blue sky day with the ocean as flat as a pie plate. On our run out to the fishing grounds we spotted a sailfish finning on the top of the water.  We sat the boat down, set up and made a pass by him and managed to smack a double - not the last double for the day either.  Fishing was spectacular - we raised 18 sails and caught 8, raised 2 marlin, caught 1, raised and caught a couple of Mahe.  Muscles are stiff and sore but can't wait for tomorrow!

Day 1 fishing at Buena Vista

The day dawned sunny, bright and 28 degrees. We  ran offshore had a great day of mixed bag fishing. Mahe, sailfish and bonito were all caught. This mahe Sandi's first on the day made a fabulous supper tonight. There is nothing like fresh caught fish to whet your appitite.
Watch for the fishing to show up in the 2010 line up or visit Buena Vista Sportfishing

Hola from Guatemala

Sandi and I just had our first day of fun in the +28 sunshine at Buena Vista Sportfishing We got in at 1 in the morning so took a day of loafing around spending money at local artisians market and getting rubbed down with macadamia nut oil. It was -43 on Sunday when we left home and today was +28 and perfectly sunny. Quit the shock to the system but tomorrow we hit the deep blue for the big fish.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog.

Guatemala!

Sandi and I counting the days to our Guatemala trip for giant sails, marlin and sun. Stay tuned and watch for daily updates as long as we have internet!
