Jake Jordan Invitational Sailfish Fly Challenge day 1
January 7, 2014 was the first day of the, fifth annual “Jake Jordan Invitational, Sailfish Fly Challenge” fly fishing Tournament. This year we have five two angler teams, entered in this three day event, which is held at The Casa Vieja Lodge, in Guatemala. Fishing for this first day of the tournament was slow for Guatemala standards, it took a while before the boats found the fish. The Sailfish were not real aggressive so our catch ratio was not as good as in previous years. On Day one we raised a total of 71 Sailfish and 3 Striped Marlin. The anglers got bites from 34 Sailfish and 3 Striped Marlin, and the five teams caught and released 12 sailfish and 2 Striped Marlin on this first day. Remember that all of these fish were caught according to IGFA Rules while using 20 pound or lighter class tippet.
A happy team with a sail that put them in the running.
One thing you will most certainly get is jump after jum,p from sails and marlin.
Often the jumps are very close, giving the angler a very good look at what will be happening over the next half hour,
