Meet Capt. Eddie
Captain Eddie Bairez, of Guatemala, joins the Casa Vieja Lodge team at the helm of the Release, a 37’ Merritt. Capt. Eddie began his career as a mate aboard the Magic in 1997 part of the old Fins ‘N Feathers Lodge. From 1998- 2017, he was with the Captain Hook and was under the guidance of the late Capt. Ron Hamlin until 2006.
In 2017, he was the first Guatemalan to fish Rompin Malaysia in the South China Sea and explored the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean, and Burma Banks, Myanmar, and was successful at finding some great bill fishing spots. Capt. Eddie returned back to Guatemala at the start of COVID and like all of our captains have been anxious to get back out on the water! Clearly, you can tell Capt. Eddie loves to fish, and he speaks great English, and wants to help you learn to become a better angler!
