Great Captain and crew. I have fished on many boats out of Quepos and one of the most important things is a crew that is constantly on point. These guys are it. The attention to gear and catching fish is not taken lightly by us and these guys don't disappoint. If you love to fish and attention to detail matters this is your team!
Tyler clay and his 3 friend's had a gola to each catch their 1st sailfish as well as learn a few things they could take back home and use on his own boat this summer. Well after 47 sailfish and a blue marin released they were done. We had beautiful Costa Rican weather and some excellent food prepared by pur 1st mate Santos.
Well, our crowd from NC has been having a blast here in Costa Rica and that fun continued during their fishing trip. We departed a little late, noon to be exact, and headed offshore. I was quite stressed given the time constraints of not having but a couple of hours to fish, but we quickly found them. 1st, we had a double header of sailfish, in which both were successfully released, so the celebration continued. A short time later, Brent got his sailfish. After releasing that fish, and as i deployed the teaser from the bridge, another sailfish jumped right on it. Santos quickly got the pitch bait into place as i retrieved the teaser, and just like that, another sailfish. We continued pretty steadily the rest of the day, releasing a few more. What a day it was. And to think this is our off-season! Fishing is great down here year round.
