I fished with Mike McGrath for a few hours just outside my canal in the East West channel . We used the new Berkley Chum and the traditional variety of ground clam. The one Flounder we caught was on a Berkley Gulp Alive Blood worm, and measured 15.5 inches . We also used live blood worms. So far I'm impressed but today was not a good test.

I received mail from a good customer of mine Rich Nelson Jr. who lives in Maryland and fishes a lot with his sons James and Jack.
Hi Capt Al,
Finally a fish to show you. Caught this 32 inch fish this evening in the Chesapeake bay near Annapolis. It was James and Jack's first striper. As you can tell by the other picture they enjoyed eating the fish as much as catching it. See you in a few weeks.
Best Regards,
Rich

After ariving in Guatemala City, our driver Edgar took us for a tour of the city of Antigua. The city dates back to the 1500s, and is a shoppers' paradise for hand- made Mayan crafts. The city has been destoyed by earthquakes in the past, and many of the ruins can be still found throughout.
The top notch service started the moment we arived at the lodge with ice cold mojitos followed by a great dinner.
Tomorrow we go Sailfishing.

After a wonderful breakfast at the lodge, we headed out for Sailfish. The morning started out slowly, with only a few small Dorado we picked off a floating pallet. We continued to troll South and that's where we found the Sailfish. The boat handling of the captain was amazing, and the 2 mates took great care of us once again.

The mates prepared a delicious lunch with fresh guacamole all in the middle of a great Sailfish bite. We brought to boatside 8 of 11 Sailfish, including a double header where the two fish ran in opposite directions challenging the captains skill, but he prevailed. Pictured in the photo are Paul Michele and Andy LoCascio with a nice Sail. When we arrived back at the lodge, we were treated with poolside cocktails, and enjoyed a great shrimp dinner.

Headed out for Sailfish again today, and once again the Pacific kept up to its name sake with flat seas. We had a very leisurely day fishing from a comfortable fishing boat perfect for day trips.

Captain Mike once again did a great job running the boat while Kristine Anderson fought the Sailfish to the boat.
