Watch the Right Teaser
When you head to Casa Vieja Lodge in Guatemala you’re going to want to try to bait-and-switch a sailfish (or 10) on your own. When written, or spoken on land, the process sounds easy. The captain yells out which side the fish is swimming on and which bait it’s chasing – for example, “long left rigger” or “long right teaser” and you react accordingly. One person tempts the fish in a certain direction and another puts a circle-hooked bait in front of them.
Easy, peasy.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Once you’re on the water, in the heat of the moment, perhaps with an El Gallo or two inside you, it’s not quite that simple (unless you’re one of the mates, who’ve done it thousands of times and seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads).
Here’s a whole brand based on the concept: “Right Teaser.” Wear their hats and/or shirts, but try not to get even more confused.
Reach out to Hanna ASAP if you’d like to watch pez vela come up on the right teaser. You’ll have to provide your own shirt or hat, but not your own teasers.
