Part 2 of our interview with sailfish Captain Tom Boice. In the first half of our interview with Capt Tom we talked about sailfishing in Guatemala with conventional techniques as well as sailfishing in Guatemala in general. You can read part one here. In this part we talk to Capt Tom about a technique that is starting to gain popularity; fly fishing for billfish.
Guatemala, the land of eternal spring has long been known for having the worlds highest concentration of sailfish off it's Pacific coast. Anglers regularly have shots at 20+ sailfish per day. The sailfish are so plentiful in fact that on March 11, 2006, IGFA Hall of Fame Captain Ron Hamlin set the daily release record with an unbelievable 124 sailfish.
