Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: We played host to Mark Sosin who spent a week with us shooting for his show, Mark Sosin's Saltwater Journal. They had a really great week and got some outstanding footage. The shows on Guatemala should air in 2005 on the Outdoor life Network. During the week, the sails would come in really hot, but many would fade away. Most boats were still able to have double digit releases, and again there were a couple of boats that experienced 30-40 fish days. A couple of blue marlin also made an appearance, but would not take the bait. Dorado are around and just about every boat had a few. Inshore once again had no takers, so there is no report, but we know the roosters are there, just waiting for an angler to show up.
Water Temperature 78-82
Air Temperature 82-84
Humidity 66 %
Wind SSE 7 mph

Sunrise 6:13 a.m. CST
