Costa Rica Fishing
Posted: Dec 22nd, '06, 11:23
HI Guys,
Just got back from fishing on our new charter boat in Golfito, Costa Rica. It is not the prime season yet, but in one and 1/2 days we had some decent fishing. Couldn't fish more because of paper work and other business with setting up the company.
The first day we raised 6 or 7 sails and a blue marlin. We had a triple of sails come up behind the boat and hooked and landed two. One tailwalked right up to the boat. Then raise 2 more fish but couldn't get them to eat. Then, my friend starts screeming look out as a free jumper all most hits the boat! Later, the Blue came up with another sail. We tried for the blue and he ate after teasing him right up to the back of the boat. It was so amazing! He went nuts jumping all over the place. He wieghed around 250 lbs.. After about 10 or 15 minutes he threw the hook. We saw one other sail after that and called it a day. Not bad for only 2 1/2 hours of fishing!
Day 2, was a little more frustrating. We raised 8 sails and a blue but couldn't get any of them to eat including with live bait. Not sure if it was the moon or not! We did manage to get a 10lbs. dorado for dinner. Our chef at the hotel where we dock did a great job of grilling him. Boy, he ate well!!! We then moved on to inshore stuff and had several roosterfish on live baits right off the beach and caught some nice sized jacks. We also managed to hook a dorado right off the beach believe it or not! And, saw several others with it. Never have I seen them so close!
The fishing should start to get really good in a couple of weeks. We are going to offer some discounts to get things rolling if anyone is interested. Anyone who books before the end of Jan. or who books for marlin season (june to sept) will get $200 off the normal price of $950 for the boat per day!
You can either contact me direct at thestriketv@yahoo.com or call our travel agent. She should be in after the 27th.of Dec. Shirley at Odessey Travel 610 222 0550
Happy Holidays! And, Good Fishing
