The Sailfish bite was back on today with lots of boats raising and releasing double digit Sailfish.

Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” had a group that wanted to hook there own fish. The clients went 5 for 20 on Sailfish but did hook a 300 pound Blue Marlin. The Captain said he was a little more than 30 miles out to the West…past the craters. The clients got a rare treat when they came across a large group of giant Manta Ray…all with 12-15 foot wingspans.

Captain Dave on the “Missbehavin” to Lou and his family out and had another solid day going 6 for 10 on Sailfish with a nice Dorado for dinner.

Captain Dana on the “Hoo’s your Daddy” took a guy out for some fly fishing.  He went 4 for 20 on Sailfish, raised a Blue Marlin and had a big Wahoo crash the spread.  Sailfish on the fly…what could be finer.

The Sailfish bite remains solid although a bit scattered.  Everyone still seems to be fishing around 30 miles out but some guys out by the craters, some guys out at the corner and some guys down by the 26 rock and pocket.  The average seems to be 6-10 Sailfish, a Mahi Mahi or two and maybe a Marlin sighting if you have good karma.

A group from Atlanta went out with the guys on the “Spanish Fly”…maybe the most famous boat in Costa Rica.  They caught 12 Sailfish and a 300 pound Blue Marlin.

Captain Jeremy on the “R & J” went fun fishing and caught 22 Jack and 3 Mutton Snapper.   Jeremy was grilling up a slab of Snapper while giving me his report…butter…garlic…mmmm.

Captain Dave on the”Missbehavin” went out with a group from Orlando and went 5 for 8 on Sailfish and caught a big Mahi for the grill.

Howdy,

The bite seems to have scattered with some boats catching 7 or 8 fish and some boats catching only 2 or 3. For some people and some places 2 or 3 Sailfish is a good day. We are a bit spoiled here, especially in the past few months. If you are used to catching 10 fish a day 3 Sailfish can seem like a disapointment.

Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” took Steve and his friends out and they caught 7 Sailfish and a Striped Marlin that was over 200 pounds. One of the guys had fished offshore but the other 2 were Virgins. Captain Bill broke em in right.  This is a photo of Steve’s MONSTER Sailfish.  Captain Bill says 11 foot long and over 180 pounds…and Bill would know.

Captain Dave on the “Missbehavin” did a little combo trip and caught 3 Roosterfish and 2 Sailfish.

Howdy,

The word on the street is the green water has moved in out at the craters and pushed the bite offshore to 30-40 miles. The boats that are making the run out there are catching lots of Sailfish and Striped Marlin.. Rumors of several boats releasing 20 plus Sails and a couple Marlin.

Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” fished down by the pcoket and caught 6 Sailfish and a 500 pound Black Marlin.

 

Howdy,

For a couple days now the Marlin bite continues to be the big story out of the Los Suenos Marina.  Lots of boats reporting Striped, Black and Blue Marlin bites mixed in with a few Sails and a few Dorado.  The boats are fishing between 25-35 miles out towards the Craters.  It seems like the boats are averaging 3 or 4 Sails, a Dorado or two and a Marlin bite.  Several boats released more than one Marlin.

Captain Tim on the “Tres Amigos”  caught a Marlin, five Sailfish and a few Dorado.

The guys on the “Macushla” caught a few Sail, a few Dorado and they released 2 Striped Marlin…one about 250 pounds…and they raised a Nice Blue Marlin.

Captain Brandon on the “Fish Whistle” had some clients that wanted to bottom fish at the 26.  Brandon reported green water and a slow bite at the 26…The Captain did save the day by trolling the dropoff home and picking up 5 Sailfish.  The day before RJ and the guys on the “Iron Trader” fished the 26 and caught dozens of fish …they caught Silky Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Dogtooth Snapper, Roosterfish, Wahoo, various Jacks and some other fish…Sorry I quit listening.

Everyone is enjoying the Marlin bite.  They enjoy it so much when you ask them for a fishing report they just want to talk about the Marlin, you can’t get any good info out of anybody…it’s just Marlin Marlin Marlin.

If catching a Marlin is on your “bucket list” then now is a good time to go.   The bite is close and consistent.  get out while the gettin is good.

Gracias,

Bubba

Hola,

The fishing just got better out of the Los Suenos Marina.  The reports of raising 40 fish were confirmed.  It seems that the guys on the Desperado released 28 some Sailfish out by the craters.

The word on the street today was about the Marlin bite.  Lots of boats picking up Striped and Blue Marlin less than 25 miles out.  We have gone a month without a big Marlin bite…but today things changed.

Captain Jeremy on the “R&J”  caught a Blue Marlin, a Striped Marlin, 2 Dorado and 2 Sailfish.

Captain Dana on the “Hoo’s your Daddy” caught a Striped Marlin, 4 Sailfish and a 50 pound Bull Dorado.  His clients wanted to jump in the water at the end of the day.  Dana had pull everything in but one ballyhoo.  While his customers were swimming Captain Dana’s line came tight and he hooked up a big Sailfish.  The couple quickly slid through the transom door like a couple of seals ad landed the fish.

Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” banged them out going 12 for 20 on Sails today and 22 for 33 yesterday.  He was anxious to chase the Marlin bite tommorow.

Captain RJ fished with the guys on the “Iron Lady” and released 3 Marlin, a few Sails and a couple Dorado.

The fishing out of the Los Suenos Marina continues to be great. The Sailfish bite is still the star with everyone raising double digit fish and releasing 6-16 Sailfish per day. Most of the boats are picking up a Dorado or two and several boats got into some nice Tuna action. There are rumors this morning of boats raising 40 Sailfish out by the craters…I am trying to confirm those reports.

Captain Dana on the “Hoo’s your Daddy” put together a combo trip for his clients. They went bottom fishing in the morning and caught 3 nice Snappers and a couple Roosterfish, they then decided to run offshore and troll, they released 4 Sailfish. The guys liked the combo trip so much they are doing it again tomorrow.

Captain David on the “Barbarrosa” took a group out recently that wanted to catch some eating fish. They went 2 for 3 on Sailfish but caught few 40 pound Mahi Mahi and a couple 40 plus pound Tuna. They will be eating good for the next few days.

Captain Brandon on the “Fish Whistle” has gone inshore and bottom fishing the past few days and reports that the inshore water is blue and the bite is good.  He has been catching Roosterfish, Amber Jack and several different types of Snapper.

Captain Dave on the “Missbehavin” took Tattoo Joe out for a fun day of fishing. They didn’t go out very far and they didn’t fish very hard but they ended up releasing 6 nice Sailfish. I heard Joe was setting his own hooks…good job Joe.

The Sailfish numbers are on the increase after the full moon. All of the boats are raising double digit Sailfish numbers. Not many Marlin or Dorado caught today but a few boats were rumored to find the Yellowfin Tuna.

Captain Jeremy on the “R&J” released 15 Sailfish with the Mike Horn party.

Captain David on the “Barbarrosa” took Astrid and her family out for a half day. The family from San Diego caught 5 Sailfish. Everyone on board caught their first Sailfish…congrats.

The majority of boats out of the Los Suenos Marina are fishing out by the craters and everyone seems to be catching good numbers of Sailfish.

The back side of the full moon is usually a good time for Wahoo at the “26″…no reports to confirm.

Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” released 10 Sailfish.

Captain Jeremy on the “R&J” raised 20 fish but only hooked 5…mama told you there would be days like that.

Captain Tim on the “3 Amigos” caught 10 Sailfish and a 5o plus pound Wahoo.

Captain Johnny  on the “Macushla” had a good week averaging 20 Sailfish raised 10 hooked with a couple Mahi Mahi each day.

The Sailfish bite out of the Los Suenos Marina continues to be solid even with the full moon. The fish seemed to have moved to the west and the bite was anywhere between 20-30 miles out and everyone was catching Sailfish.  There were some Mahi Mahi and Marlin bites as well…lots of guys were looking for the Yellowfin Tuna but no luck.

Captain Dana on the “Hoo’s your Daddy” went 9 for 12 on Sailfish and had a couple nice Mahi Mahi.

Captain Jerry on the “Estrella del Mar” released 5 Sailfish while fishing with Jonathon’s group.

Captain Dave on the “Missbehavin” took a family from Pensacola fishing and they went 5 for 9 on Sailfish. Everyone on the boat caught their first Sailfish…congrats.
