Good charter fishing

 Yesterday was a good charter day, nice tuna, nice wahoo and 9 sails. 

It was NOT a good tournament day or tournament for us, but we did have a great time.  

Good to know that our fun meter is not directly proportionate to our standings in billfish tournaments.

Meanwhile in NC, the shad are biting.   That's something.    

I think we need to get the ladies to fish for us

 no cameras waiting for us when we get back to the dock. 

Los Suenos Ladies

 The ladies had another great day yesterday with the 2nd leg of the Los Suenos Ladies Billfish Series. 

They jumped in front early with Anna's marlin release and stayed in the lead until the last hour, ending up in 2nd place for the day and now 4th for the series. 

hopefully the guys will get some shots this weekend.....

Pescadoras

 Anna and the ladies had a great last day, solidifying them for 5th place, just a few fish off the podium. 

Great performance with an 88 percent hook up ratio their last day.  wow.  Hope the "boys" have picked up a few tricks for Leg 2 this weekend, meanwhile the girls are at it again in Leg 2 of the Los Suenos Ladies Tournament. 

Ladies with a double digit day

 Good for 6th place in the ladies Pescadora billfish tournament out of Quepos. 

Big hill to climb tomorrow, but every day is different here in Costa Rica.

inshore fishing

It was reallly good to be a part of this one yesterday.   

An equally giant roosterfish ate a snapper I had on my line earlier in the day. 

Really amazing day of fishing on the Wing Man.   Handful of nice roosters and a whole bunch of other stuff including 3 different species of snappers. 

trout not gone yet

 Hopefully we will remain below the freeze/ice line. 

So far, so good. 

Greg caught 20 or more with little effort yesterday

Meanwhile, to whose day i took today

  I caught a sailfish on the fly yesterday.    Thank you to whoever it was who had this day booked but was afflicted by some variant of the Coronapanic.   Sucks for you.  

 After catching my sailfish on the fly and hooking and losing another one,  I should have quit while I was ahead.  We caught a bunch of bottom fish of all shapes, sizes and colors.    Along the way we filled the livewell with sardines and loaded tinker mackerals in the tuna tubes, carrying them 10 miles offshore to hand feed them to 50 pound tuna.   I hate you missed it. 

Please let me know when you can reschedule, our 2022 calendar is starting to get busy. 

 

From Hugh

 The below is from Hugh.   Hugh just went to Costa Rica and had a great time.   Hugh caught a bunch of sailfish, tunas and more.  Hugh did all the tours and ate in the greatest restaurants.  Hugh experienced no lines and there was no traffic on his trip, not anywhere, not even at the airport.  

"Thank you Anna, Trip home could not have gone any smoother. Any of your clients that have any questions prior to going I’ll be happy to share my experience." 

Cold yet?

 Just wanted you to remind you that sunshine kills Corona.   All good here in the tropics with things getting back to normal.   Now if the US would just get their head out of the sand and make it easier to get home.  Currently a negative covid test or doctor proof that you have had and recovered within the last 90 days.....but all that can change anytime. 

Shoot us an e mail for the latest

What is consistent this year is the fishing.    The current has been shoving bait right up on the bank with double digit sailfish days within 15 miles of the marina.  Yes, there are some marlins swilling around with them and almost daily shots.   

Also up on the bank have been schools of caballas or what we would call jumbo cigar minnows.   As we are trolling for the sails a double sabiki rig is at the ready and deployed when we find a bait ball. 

If you hit it the mark, as the sabiki comes to the surface it looks like a string of Christmas lights.   If you can get them up before a sailfish attacks, these cigar minnows are like candy to the tunas.   Not into tugging on tunas?  Ok, take a few minutes and drop some down on our high speed bottom fishing reels to catch a grill-sized snapper for dinner.
