QUEPOS FISHING REPORT

Been lots of Marlin out lately. In the last two days, we released 2 Black Marlin and 10 sailfish behind the boat. Just got this picture from the customer. I do have some underwater video! Check it out here:

The goal today was to get Tim his first billfish, dorado or Roostefish. This was his fourth charter for billfish (not with us) and he had never even held a rod with a billfish on it. Well today he held 7 rods connected to those big pacific beasts, and was also connected to a dorado! We had 13 bites today and 7 of those resulted in billfish fights! He also got out with our smaller inshore fishing boat and boated some Roosters, mission accomplished! I'll finish this story out with a few pictures from today! Great day out on the water!

Had a blast out today, we went looking for the big one and man did we find it! We put on the slow trolling valve and the extra large tuna tubes in the boat in Late October, and as you can see from this report and the last one, they have been pretty effective. Really big blue Marlin today, hooked up with it around noon, and got back in to the dock right before the sun went down! Interesting story, this fish was really hungry! We were slow trolling three small bonitos, and this fish grabs the one on the right. My second mate and photographer, Jose, hooks him. At the same time, there is a big hit on the middle bait. My first mate mike, hooks that one. About that time, there is a hit on the left bait. No more mates, but something crushes that bait as well. Well come to find out, this Marlin ate two and killed all three of the baits! We spent the first 1.5 hours fighting this big fish with two poles. One leader busted and we finished it off on the 50. Both hooks landed right in the corner of the mouth, so they mates are fighting over who hooked the fish! :) Great day fishing here in Quepos, got some video of this beast and some more photos as well, I'll post them soon!

QUEPOS FISHING FORECAST

January-April 2011-2012

Billfish season is here! January through April is when all the sailfish and Marlin come out and we are so looking forward to some awesome billfish action! This year we have tons of new tricks in addition to the old ones so we should have some great numbers! In addition to the Top of the line Furuno Sonar, and all new Penn Reels, I just got some High Powered stabilized binoculars. These are the ones that can spot birds at 5-6 miles, and if you shake them, the picture in them doesn't move. They look like something out of a Star Wars Movie and I expect to find lots of birds, floating debris and most importantly FINS! We also installed about 8000 dollars in sound and vibration reducing equipment and this should be our best year yet! We should really start seeing some good Dorado action from October to January, landing quite a few of the big bulls. We'll have the spinning gear ready for those fisherman who are really looking for a crazy fight. For those of you who like pulling up big fish from way down below, the bottom fishing should stay really awesome as well with quite a few Amberjacks and Snapper coming out each trip. With the new gear, we should also be able to spot Yellow Fins from way off, so I expect to be getting quite a bit more Tuna Action! Inshore we now will use a smaller boat with captain Jerry. last year in high season, Jerry really cleaned up the Roosterfish with his largest being 80 pounds and his most released were 11 large ones. In addition, we have quite a few areas that will be great to throw poppers to hit those snappes on top! Inshore should also come with the occasional Jack, Spanish Mackeral and Barracuda bite. High season is finally here, and we are already 50% booked so make sure to reserve your days quick before we fill up!

Costa Rica Info

Thinking about doing something tropical but don't know where to start? I'd love to get everything setup for you! I have stayed at almost every hotel here, I know which ones you will like and which ones are prettier on their webpages :) Let me handle all the details like hotel reservations and transport, so you can focus on just relaxing. Also, Costa Rica is by far the most stable and safe place in Latin America. With us guiding your trip, you will see all the awesome things this amazing and safe country has to offer. As if the awesome beach just 5 minutes from the dock isn't enough reason to fall in love with Costa Rica, you could always visit other parts of this small but amazing country as well. You could check out Volcano Arenal, which is very active and has multiple hot water resorts at the base, or MonteVerde, a cloud forest with zip lines, the best ATV trips on Earth, and massive suspension bridges. Closer to Quepos, there are amazing White Water Rafting tours, and horseback trails, waterfalls and more! Even if you can't fish, I love to answer any questions you have at all about the country. I have been to just about everywhere there is to go here, and I'd love to share what I loved. But a bit of warning, after my first trip here, I was hooked, so be careful or we just might become neighbors :)
