Hello everyone. Quepos fishing is pretty good right now and a lot of people are here to enjoy the fun. Quepos is packed with people, which always makes for a good time. We are catching Sailfish, Dorado and seeing some Marlin out there. I haven't heard of anyone running into the Tuna since a few days ago, but they may be catching Tuna too.

I took a drive to Jaco to eat at a friend's restaurant and the water is still marbled with red as far as the eye can see, but the fishing has been good, so no complaints.

The 32' Hatteras Blue Pearl fished Quepos with Captain Juan Carlos and Memo (our mate from the Precedent) two days ago and released a Sailfish, caught a Dorado and had a Marlin but couldn't get him to the boat.  

I haven't fished in over a month and I think I might be going a little crazy. I need to get out on the water badly.

Also, remember that anyone booking a charter through us for the months of June, July and August will have 25% of the profit donated to the Alma relief fund. The new restaurant Marlintini's that is opening up next weekend will also be donating all of their proceeds from opening night to the fund, so come check it out on June 28th at 7:00pm. It should be a good time and it is definitely for a good cause.

Hello everyone. The red tide hasn't seemed to be too bad for Quepos fishing, as boats are slaying the Yellowfin Tuna right now, getting into schools of thousands of them and bringing home a boatful of the tasty football sized treats. Also, some nice Dorado have been caught. One boat got into a nice school of Tuna lately while fishing off the shores of Quepos and the commercial fishing guys were buzzing so close to them that they cut their teasers. When there is a big school of Tuna found, the commercial boats will school them up with a bunch of really fast dingys and keep everyone else off of the school... sometimes they come so close they will almost touch your boat.

Ojaran II caught ten Dorado, a Wahoo, a sail and a Tuna the other day. All they were missing was a Marlin! 

My girls are back and Neko is sitting on my lap as I type this. I love it. She's a little squirmy for fishing report ease, but that's ok.

Hello everybody. Today is a good day in Quepos as we are finishing up the cleanup and today will be the last day that the salvage divers are diving. So at least that marks a new beginning and we can all pick up the pieces and move on. For some that means putting some pieces back on their boats and getting back in the water to go fishing. For me that means putting the pieces of my engines back together and decide what to do next. We'll see...

The water yesterday was looking really red as far as the eye could see. Hopefully that doesn't hang around too long. Boats have still been doing alright fishing over the last few days, bringing home a few Sailfish and some Dorado.

I'm stoked, my girls come home today. I have decided that 11 days is too long to be away from your 9 month old. I missed her first tooth and my first father's day. :-(

Cross your fingers for blue water.

Hola gente. Over the last few days the fishing off the shores of Quepos has remained pretty steady, with boats typically coming home with the species they were looking for. The inshore fishing is solid and the offshore fishing is productive. 

And onto the fishing report... The Ojaran II caught 4 Rooster and 2 Jacks on a full day inshore charter. The Big Eye released four Sailfish and a Mahi Mahi. On her first day back fishing after the storm and sporting a new paint job, the Ojaran III released two Sailfish.

Quepos is pretty busy right now. I have noticed a lot of people at the dock and more people around town than in the past few weeks. 

I checked out a pretty cool little Soda last night here in Quepos.  A soda is a restaurant that serves typical Costa Rican food. I had a "Casado," which is a plate with your choice of meat (I chose Dorado) and it comes with rice and beans, a salad and some other sides. Basically, it is a huge plate of good Costa Rican food for 1,500 colones. That's around $3. I love it. 

It's raining a lot offshore today so we will see how fishing goes. 

Oh yeah, I put a really cool map on the site that you can zoom in and move all around to view our town of Quepos. 

Talk at ya later,
