Quepos Fishing Report- Saturday June 26, 2010

NEWS FLASH!

La Manta Sportfishing is now located in the new Marina Pez-Vela in Quepos! We are really excited to be one of the first 5 boats into the new Marina. We hope that this change will provide our clients with better service and convenience. No more Panga rides out to the mooring to get the boat. Also no more tying up at the pier to get water or fuel.... well, maybe fuel, for just a bit longer. The Marina has a nice store that sells most anything that you need from Drinks/Snacks, Bait, Lures, Rigging Supplies, Cleaning Supplies and much more.

We have a few trips coming up so stay tuned for more fishing reports.

Thanks for reading and Suerte!

Quepos Fishing Report- Tuesday June 22, 2010

We ended up heading back out to the Venti Seis Rock again yesterday with Eric and Scott from North Carolina for their second day of fishing with us. The weather was beautiful and the water was really blue and clear. Here's a photo of Eric with a nice little Wee-hoo. It turned out to be a slow day as we only got a Wahoo and a Yellowtail Snapper. At least the guys took home some good dinner! 

The fishing is still going off here in Costa Rica even though this is not considered high season. We are continuing to book trips so Contact Us today to reserve your spot.

Quepos Fishing Report- June 20, 2010-

Today we fished at the 26 rock again. We ended up catching some nice bonito baits and sending the down on the rock. Here's Scott from North Carolina with a really nice Cubera Snapper. This one was probably around 40 pounds. 

Here's Eric from North Carolina with a nice little Roosterfish. We caught this one on a Bonito cut bait. After some bottom fishing we got back to trolling. We were catching some nice small Bonitos so we figured that we should do a little live bait fishing on the bottom. 

Here we have a nice Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna. These made for some good Sashimi at the Restaurante Vista Hermosa. Juan and the guys hooked us up and made us pretty much anything that we wanted with our fish. 

                                       

Here's Eric with a really nice Amberjack. We got this one on the bottom with a Bonito cut bait as well. This one really put up a fight!

At the end of the day we had 6 different Species of fish caught. Snapper, Roosterfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin, Bonito and Amberjack. We nailed both the Offshore Species and Inshore Species in one trip! These guys were stoked on a busy day of fishing. 

We still have some dates left for June and July so Contact us to book your Charter.

Fishing Report- Sunday June 13, 2010

Today I was invited to fish on the "Ol' Salt" out of Los Suenos with Capt. Dave Mothershead. We headed for the Venti Seis (26 Rock) to try to get a few Wahoo. The Wahoo bite has been on here in Costa Rica for the past week or two. Here's a photo of the Mate, Jose, with a nice 40+ lb Wahoo and a few smaller ones on the deck. We ended up with 5 Wahoo and also 5 or 6 Bonitos. A fun day of fishing for sure. Thanks to Capt. Dave for letting me ride out on the "Ol' Salt". 

We have some Charters coming up this week so check back for more reports and photos.

Quepos Fishing Report- Thursday June 10, 2010

Today we fished with Chris, MJ, Bryan and Jen. We decided to head out towards the Venti Seis rock to try to get some Wahoo after hearing some good reports over the last few days. We had excellent weather and nice water so now all that was left to do was find the fish. After getting a few Bonitos, MJ stepped up and caught a Wahoo. At the same time we had another strike and Jen caught a nice little Bonito. Nice work on that Double guys!

                                                                                 

Here's a funny photo of Chris with one of the Bonitos he caught. 

Here's Bryan with one of the many Bonitos that he caught. (We did release the Bonitos!)

Jen had the biggest fish of the day with this nice Wahoo. It hit my shotgun on the tower and took off on two short bursts. Wahoo are super fast and fun to catch. They will be enjoying the Wahoo for dinner over the next few days at the Surf Inn Hermosa. Great work landing that fish Jen!

All in all a great day of fishing! Everyone caught multiple fish and they got some good food as well. 

The fishing has been good here in Quepos. We still have some spots open for June so contact us today to book your Charter.

Quepos Fishing Report- June 7, 2010-

We didn't fish today. It was probably good out there but we still have some crazy weather hanging around. Hopefully all of this is going to settle down soon so that we can get back out there and FISH!

Here's a photo of some birds working the baitfish that we were getting the Tunas off of. It was really cool to see the Dolphin, Tuna, Birds and Baitfish going off all at once. After watching the pattern for a while I was getting pretty good at predicting where the Tuna would break the surface. We hit it just right a few times and we ended up with Tunas just bombing through our spread! Sometimes I think they were going so fast and jumping so hard after the flying fish that they never even saw our baits!! We saw some in the 50+ lb range. It would have been nice to hook up on one of those.

We have some groups headed down this month to fish from North Carolina and Florida. Stay tuned for more photos! June dates are filling up so contact us right away to reserve your Charter.

Quepos Costa Rica Fishing Report - 4 June 2010

No fishing for us today. Here's a photo of our new home in the Marina Pez Vela in Quepos. Everyone in Quepos is really happy to be in the Marina, I know I am sleeping better at night knowing that my boat isn't out there in the Harbor. We have had some freak storms lately that I wouldn't have wanted the boat out there for. 

We have groups coming next week and on the week of the 15th and 23rd but we still have some dates available. Call or email us to book your Charter. The fishing is really good right now with a lot of boats reporting Marlin, Sailfish and Tuna.

Fishing Report for Quepos, Costa Rica- Thursday June 3, 2010

Here's a shot from the other day. We were trolling around a huge pod of Dolphin when we were on the Tuna. They were entertaining us with a Aerial Exhibition all day! It seemed like there were hundreds. Different types as well. It's moments like this that make you just stop and look around and enjoy being out on the water. We like to fish hard, but we also like to slow down and enjoy the special moments..... that's what being out there is all about. 

We didn't have a Charter today so I'm not sure how the fishing was. I did see some boats go out this morning. I'm sure that they caught fish. The Marlin bite has been on big time and there are Sailfish and Tuna around as well. The fishing is going off in Costa Rica right now!

The weather has been very unstable for the past few weeks. Hopefully we'll break out of that pattern and get some more decent weather to fish this month. We have Charters booked but we still have some space available. Contact us to book your Charter.

Fishing Report -Wednesday June 2, 2010

Fishing Report-

We haven't fished for two days now due to some weather that has been moving through our area. It is the start of the "rainy" season so I guess we will just have to deal with it. There are still plenty of fish out there right now. In the photo above we are releasing a Sailfish in the 100lb range. This is a photo from our trip this past Monday. As you can see, the water is clean and blue where we were fishing despite the formation of the first named Pacific Tropical Storm "Agatha", which claimed quite a few lives as it moved North through Central America. On Monday we were 2 for 4 on Sailfish and 5 of 6 on Tuna so we didn't do too bad. We could have done a little better with the Sails but it was still a nice day of fishing. There were also some boats to the North of us seeing quite a few Marlin but we never did see any.  We fished as hard as we could and were the last boat back to the dock. That's how we do it.
