July Fishing here in Quepos Costa Rica has remained outstaning while most Captains heading for the 26 at the start of the day our captains have been heading a bit further south and being rewarded daily with multiple Marlin raised and released, Still some Sails and lots of Amberjack and Red Snapper. The Dorado bite should be outstanding in September with lots of debris in the water from the night time rains flowing down from the rivers. If you are thinking about a trip for Marlin then now through September is a great time to take advantage of the fishing season and low pricing! July 20 client Lawrence Lessing headed out for a half day adventure with his 4 and 6 year old and had lots of action with Amberjacks.
July 14 Ken Griffith and his family headed offshore this morning with Captain Franklin at the Helm. Lots of Bottomfishing action again today with 4 Amberjacks, 2 Red Snapper and then later with the Release of 2 Sailfish.
July 13 Clients Bradley Conviser, David Day and Lee Dillingham after having tracked me down at the new Marina Pez Vela and very anxious to go fishing after reading the reports for last few days headed out with our crew hoping to have that same fishing as days past. They were quite pleased with the action after having 4 Amberjacks, 2 Red Snapper and released 2 Sailfish! Nice day for their last minute decision. July 12 Wes Schuler after returning 4 years later to Quepos headed out after such promising reports, however someone didn't feel so well when they got out to the fishing grounds so they made the decision to return. Sorry we didn't get a chance to see what they could do today July 8
Wow, Wow, Wow, Fishing here in Quepos has been great. I came down this week in the hopes of landing my 2010 Marlin. Wells Folks wishes can come true. As we headed offshore on Thursday morning with Capt. Franklin at the helm, his plan after fishing the 26 two days before felt that the bite might be a bit further South. We headed to the Furuno to fish for live bait and bottom fish at an undisclosed point there. This is where the action started! All the lines started going first on was Randall with a beautiful Amberjack followed up with another Amberjack for Leanne, Sam followed with a Red Snapper, followed by a blue runner then 2 more Amberjacks, 2 Roosters another Snapper and Blue Runner, I gotta tell ya, there was so much going on, we had such fun and it was only 10 am we headed out a bit to 35 miles offshore when we had a estimated 700 lb Black Marlin on the bait, however he broke off. I say that my three favorite words are the captain yelling MARLIN! MARLIN! MARLIN! and just as Dempsey 1st mate handed me a sandwich around lunchtime those Magic words came bellowing down from above, This was it, I was in the chair as this magnificent Blue Marlin danced across the water. It was 28 minutes to get him close when he shot out of the water just 8 meters from the boat. Talk about a breathtaking moment as he boasted his Mad Marlin Face and incredible colors. Total of 30 minutes to the Leader for the release of the 300 lb. Blue Marlin. As I am still running on the adrenaline rush we followed this by the release of another 2 Sailfish. Really an incredible day
Total numbers for day 4 Amberjacks, 2 Red Snapper, 2 Blue Runners, 2 Roosterfish, 2 Sailfish and 2 Marlin Raised and 1 Release
July 3 Ned Davenport headed offshore with Captain Jose and returned with delighted Children after having landed a beautiful Dorado for Dinner, Ben Hayes spent a full day Offshore with Captain Franklin and the release of one Sail and his wife with dinner of a Yellow fin Tuna.
