May 2007

The “red tide” moved in and the water was filthy all month long. Not as many boats fishing in May but the guys that went out caught fish. Marlin are still being caught out past 40 miles. Sailfish and Dorado numbers were a little slow for May. Roosterfish and Snapper numbers were pretty good considering we had “red tide” all month.

June Fish Forecast -- Hopefully the “red tide” will completely move out and the fishing will return to normal for June. I expect the Tuna and Marlin bite to be good this month. I would expect the inshore bite to be good if the water clears up. The Sailfish and Dorado bite is always a question mark in the rainy season. I caught a dozen Sailfish before noon on a rainy day in June. You can also drag bait all day and see a couple fish.

Thanks for all the positive response to last months fishing report. Because it was a slow fish month I decided to rerun last months report in Spanish.

May Fish of the Month –– all of them

Pareciera que recientemente todos empezamos a darnos cuenta del efecto negativo que estamos teniendo con nuestro planeta.  Como pescador me concierne mucho el futuro de la pesca deportiva en Costa Rica. 
 
Los amantes de la pesca gastan millones de dólares al ano en Costa Rica.  Afortunadamente aun tenemos muy buena pesca.  Pero tenemos que hacer unos pequeños cambios para proteger y preservar este recurso tan valioso.
 
El estado de Florida y otros en la costa oeste les tomo más de 20 anos y millones de dólares recuperarse de la pesca excesiva de los anos 70.  ¿Porque esperamos hasta que casi se acabe algo para empezar a protegerlo?   
 
Ocupamos empezar ahora.  Tengo un restaurante de tacos y ya me comprometí a usar pescados de aguas abiertas como Wahoo y Dorado y menos pescados de arrecifé como Cubera y Cabrillo.  Los peces de arrecife son mas delicado y susceptibles a la sobre pesca.  También estoy analizando la posibilidad de renovar mis opciones como una la Tilapía.  La Tilapía es un pez que se reproduce con control de hecho hay fincas de reproducción. 
 
Hay muchas restaurantes y supermercados que venden Marlin y Pez Vela.  Lo llaman Marlin Blanco pero no tenemos Marlin Blanco en Costa Rica.  El Marlin Blanco es en realidad la loma de un Marlin Azul pero más joven y pequeño. 
 
Por favor insistamos en los supermercados y restaurantes a dejar de vender Marlin y Pez Vela.
 
Por favor también animemos a la gente a dejar de comer Marlin y Pez Vela.
 
También animemos al gobierno y a los desarrolladores a invertir en esto y así proteger nuestros océanos.
 
Por favor ayudemos a preservar nuestros grandes tesoros antes que sea demasiado tarde.
 
Gracias por su tiempo.
