Fly Fishing With a River Damsel and a Cardboard Kirk
This weekend I had the�privilege�of taking Emily aka The River Damsel out for two days of fly fishing. Our first day of fly fishing took us to an un-named river fly fishing for big brown trout. In typical Rebecca fashion, the batteries on my camera were dead and I didn’t have backup. So the big [...]

The social , gregarious fish are simply too precious to ?one hand? or lift out of the water
Our study involving largemouth bass provides the first direct experimental evidence that vulnerability to angling is a heritable trait and, as a result, that recreational hook-and-line fisheries can cause evolutionary change in fish populations. - via Selection for Vulnerability to Angling in Largemouth Bass A twenty year study on Largemouth Bass yields an eye-opening conundrum [...]

January 2012 Guatemala Fishing Report - Casa Vieja Lodge
2011 ended and 2012 began with some fantastic fishing action from both sailfish and blue marlin. The year ended with boats raising up to 7 blue Marlin a day, and the year began with boats raising up to 40 sails a day!
The McGee / Hughes group tried their luck fishing aboard the Rum Line the last few days of December and raised 25 sails, 6 blue marlin and keep the grill supplied with fresh dorado burgers everyday. The two couples released 13 sails and 2 of the blues. The first days blue was about 250lbs, and day two?s blue was over 400lbs?very nice!
The Palmieri brothers fly-fished the first few days of January and saw some awesome action as well. The duo raised 84 sailfish, more than half of which came blazing in to accept a fly, and we released 22. The blue marlin decided to tease us, with 4 of them showing up, but wouldn?t be caught. Chris Palmieri decided to jump in and swim this his last fish to put a cap on a great trip.
The Bite is ON!!! ? RED HOT fishing reports are pouring in from the Casa Vieja fleet. ?Everyone?s been averaging over 25 releases per day? says our head skipper Capt. Chris Sheeder aboard the Rum Line. The bite is on FIRE folks!!!
Following the full moon ? the anglers on Casa Vieja fleet boats are blowing the doors off:
Cates party (14 & 15) ? Brian & Teresa with sons Phillip & Michael aboard the Release with Capt. Chico Alvarenga and special guests Norm Isaacs and film crew raised 85 sails, had 70 bites and releasing 35! World renowned skipper, angler and TV personality Capt. Norm Isaacs raised 63 sails on the 14th of January. ? That?s as good as it gets? said Capt. Isaacs.
Derner party (13-14-15) ? Justin, Brad, Steven, William and Nick aboard the Captain Hook raised 50 sails, had 43 bites and released 26! They had one blue bite, but no joy.
Daniels party (14 & 15) ? Matt & William aboard the Makaira raised 69, had 51 bites and released 29 and a 250lb blue marlin!
The Brownlee party (14-15-16) ? John Brownlee, editor and chief of Saltwater Sportsman Magazine, and his lovely bride Poppy raised 41 sails with Capt. Nicho Alvarenga aboard the Spindrift. Spindrift raised 72, had 58 bites and release 40! They also pursued roosters, snappers and bottom species.
Jarvis party (13 -17) ? Tom & Tina with the Pintozzi boys aboard the Intensity who are still fishing now, have so far raised 102, with 88 bites and 51 released, with two more days to go!
Prime dates still available from January to May.

The brutal bommies
We went fishing with our friends Yuki, Jose and Maki. The weather was good, but the bite was not really hot.
Looking out over a school of bait with birds that has just moved off of a bommie. Very fishy but no luck to be had here.
Yuki with a really nice coral trout. Just goes to show what you can catch on a bommie.
Here is a quick video of Yuki catching the coral trout and then Yuki being taught a lesson about bommies by a GT.
And finally a GT, not the behemoth that smoked him but a nice one.
Mr. Maki who has fished before but never for Giant Trevally was ready to go.
Mr. Maki then follows this up with a nice bluefin.
Then he proceeds to land another Job fish.
Unfortunately for Jose it was not to be.
Yuki had expressed a desire to fish among some bommies. For those who do not know what a bommie is. A bommie is a shallow piece of reef with some being close together and some far apart.
Below you can see small reef structures just below the surface, these are bommies. The splash is a popper doing what poppers do, POP!
 |
| From Yuki, Jose and Maki |
When casting to GTs among bommies you have to change the style of fighting. You have in effect, given the fish and advantage. There are sharp edges everywhere, just waiting to cut your braided line. The fight, once hooked up to a GT, will be brutal at best. You have to keep the GT from getting you around a bommie and that will not be easy. Pound for pound they are one of the hardest fighting fish in the world.
If Yuki wants to fish the bommies, then why not? After all it is really addicting even if it is a bit costly in terms of lost gear.
Yuki and Jose surveying a good spot to cast to.

Yuki did go on to redeem himself, but I feel that the agony of defeat never left him.
Bommies are the realm of heavy tackle and high drags, big hooks and tough leaders.
A nice bluefin trevally.

Rosie gave him a few instructions before showing him how to cast. On her first demo cast, she fires out a monster cast towards a bommie and as she pulls up the slack and gives the lure a pop, it gets smashed. She sets the hook before handing Mr. Maki the rod.
He puts up a good fight and soon enough we have a nice Job fish in the boat.

A very sad tale of a dead Suzuki motor
I have a very sad tale to tell. A tale of immeasurable heartbreak and one that continues to this day. My Suzuki 200 hp 4 stroke has salt water in one of the cylinders. Now this is something you can deal with if your motor has 3000 hours on it, but my motor has 450 hours and is still like new.
Here is the story in a nut shell
The problem arose on a recent fishing trip. I was about 15 miles from Pacific Harbour when I noticed the engine was idling rough. When I tried to accelerate the engine would hesitate and then accelerate, but only up to 3000 rpm. When I would bring the throttle back to the neutral position the engine would cut out. I then turned and headed for home as it was getting late and I wanted to get back before dark. I managed to make it back but the engine would only do 3000 rpm for the entire trip. I arrived at my dock just after dark and proceeded to flush the motor and clean it.
The next day I pulled the spark plugs and found the starboard side number 2 cylinder plug was fouled.
I then purchased new plugs from Niranjans (Suzuki dealer) and installed them. I was hoping this would solve the problem. I took the boat for a test run and it did the same thing, idle rough, hesitate, and not go over 3000 rpm. I returned to the dock and pulled the starboard number 2 plug. It had water on it and when I tasted it, it was salty.
This sad tale happened over six weeks ago. Since that time the one and only Suzuki dealership in Fiji, Niranjans, has done absolutely nothing. They have my motor, but have not even taken a look at it. Now they have stopped taking my calls and when I do get through to someone they tell me they will get to it the next day.
Needless to say their smoke and mirrors is not working with me. I know they do not want to warranty my motor, which is shit. Now I am left to my own means of seeking and extracting any sort of satisfaction from them.
So I start here with my blog. This has affected my ability to fish, which does not make for a very happy or calm Fish Whisperer. Nor does it give me any wonderful tales of fishing to share with you all.
Now I ask you all, if you know of someone high up in the Suzuki company that could be of assistance, please send them my tales of woe or send me their email/contact. Maybe, just maybe there might be a silver lining to this.
In the mean time I truly might go mad if I do not get to fish soon.

March 2012 Bass Fishing on Lake Baccarac
Date: March 10th, 2012
Name: Lake Baccarac Lodge
Hottest Baits: senkos, 1 oz spinnerbaits, topwater Rico poppers, Watermelon Lizards
Hottest Colors: watermelon, crankbaits, pearl and purple db-22
Date Fished: March, 2012
Name: Lake Baccarac Lodge
Hottest Baits: senkos, 1 oz spinnerbaits, topwater Rico poppers, Watermelon Lizards
Hottest Colors: watermelon, crankbaits, pearl and purple db-22
Date Fished: March, 2012
Comments: 03/05/12 - Once again, no consistency to report. With over 25 people at the lodge, March 1 and 2 produced varied results, with most boats capable of catching 60 bass in the morning and the same in the afternoon. March 3 and 4, although we continued to catch the bigger largemouth bass, the numbers disappeared, with some boats catching 5 ? 10 fish in the morning and the same in the afternoon. Medium and large crank baits, along with spinner baits are working the best. Mike Wilson?s group did manage to catch six over 10 lbs. with a couple catching their personal best. Greg Riggle?s group also pulled in bass over 10 lbs. on Lake Baccarac, and Kip Passant?s group landed trophy bass over 10 lbs. The water is very stained from the high winds and there are many fish still trying to spawn.
03/09/12 - The last two days on Lake Baccarac has produced some very nice fish including one monster 14lber. Darrell Harshaw 10.2, 11.2,, 11.2, Gwinn Harshaw 14.3 pound bass, Shin Tanaka 10.5 and Eric Tanaka 10.2 pound largemouth.
