Quepos - Saltwater Fishing Report
As we fish on the First day of February here in Quepos Costa Rica we have been seeing lots of Marlin everyday. January 31 Frenzy had a Marlin, client Doug Brent released his first Sail and had a 100 lb. Yellowfin Tuna.
January 30 Clients Monique and Eric fished Inshore and had 5 Rooster bites and Monica got the prize Rooster, They also had Snapper and Mackeral. Jan 29 we fished with a new boat here in Quepos and the Marlin and Sailfish were jumping everywhere out there. I have not ever seen so many marlin at this time of year. The waters are renownedly calm and it looks like glass offshore. Fishing has been about 20-25 miles out.
Clients fishing Reel Deal on the 28th released a Marlin and 4 Sails. Steve Smith and crew on Pez Espada released a Marlin and a Sailfish. On the 27th clients Rick Davies and Claude Christiano on Pez Espada released a Marlin and a Sailfish while the Smith group on Wahoo had 2 Sailfish and some nice sized Mahi Mahi. Hope the fishing stays like this. Just about every boat in the fleet out all this week.
