May 14 - May 20


There was a diverse group here this week. They all came to have a good time, and a good time they had. The rains have started in the afternoon. Sometimes they last all night. Other times, there is just a light shower to cool things off. The rain causes fresh water and debris to flow out of the rivers. This debris jump-starts the food chain. We found this current line loaded with timber and bait. It was a great time to be offshore. The manta rays were jumping. The porpoise were everywhere. We saw a few tuna busting. There were turtles all over. There was a marlin feeding right in front of the boat. It was excellent.

The marlin showed up late in the week. 6 marlin were caught one day. Most of them striped. The sails are still here and so are the smaller Tuna. The tally for Sailfish was 201 released. There were 2 Blue Marlin and 5 Striped Marlin released too. 76 tuna made the sushi lovers happy, as did 11 Dorado. 53 Snapper, 4 Grouper and 2 Roosterfish were played by our guests as well.

Phillip Larson caught and released his first Striped Marlin with Captain Jose aboard Miss Canada. William Speth caught his first Striped and his first Sail while fishing with captain Maso aboard Miss Spain. Jack Kaltner did the very same.

Jessie Bull caught her first Blue Marlin. Craig Seelmen and Judy Hamilton shared their first Blue Marlin. One finished what the other started. These two released their first Sails as well. This crew was aboard Miss Puerto Rico with Captain Armando.

Luis Brau, Ricardo Ortiz, Adalberto Lopez and Jaime Soler fished with Flaco aboard Miss Alaska. They managed to release 4 Sails and 2 Striped Marlin. Luis Brau released his first Pacific Sail. Ricardo released his first Striped Marlin and his first Sail. Adalberto released his first Sail. Jamie managed to tag his first Striped Marlin as well.

Andrew and Ben Coppin released their first Pacific Sails. They came a long way with their Dad Brian and other brother Peter. These guys flew from Western Australia. I had the pleasure of fishing with this family one day. It was a blast. I look forward to fishing with them sometime in the near future. Look for some of Andrew's photos in the near future. They should be posted on the web soon.

Patrick and Sharon Ellis might be the nicest people I have ever met in my life. They both released their first Pacific Sail. They were very well rounded. Patrick caught a 50lb Cubera. Sharon released a 50lb Roosterfish. She boated a 50lb AJ and a 50lb Dorado.

John and Sally Guitar had a ball releasing 46 Sails aboard Miss England with captain Gustavo. These two also caught a few Grouper and a bunch of Snapper and Tuna as well.

David Agnew caught and released his first ever Pacific Sail. Gregory Akers, Gregory Gosnell, Paul Bauer and Phil Miner came south to release their first Pacific Sails. These guys fished with Candelo and Dagoberto. They released a bunch of sails.

Gary and Peter McAntee, Alvin and Howard Goldstein, David Bodansky and Henry Back came down and stayed in the Palace. They had a blast. They released a bunch of Sails a Striped Marlin. This crew fished with Libardo and Gilberto.

That is a taste of what is happening down here...

Hasta próximo Semana.
Until next week.
