Steady as she goes...

Well, offshore fishing has still been rather slow, but the inshore action has been steady.  

• May 21st found John O'Donnell and his friend Andy from Quepos (owner of the Hotel Tres Banderas) with 5 snappers in the 2 to 5 pound range. 
• May 25th we had Mike Palermo's group which included Maggie Trefzer and Cristina Lorenzo, they caught 5 Rooster Fish 15 to 25 pounds, one Pacific Dog Tooth Snapper and a Jack Crevalle.  It was the ladies first sport fishing charter, congratulations.
•  May 26th the Dawes and Rizk families booked a day trip on the "Two Dogs" thru Bosque del Cabo.  They raised a Blue marlin and a sailfish that weren't very hungry while offshore. In the afternoon, they turned to inshore fishing at a spot for big snappers.  They released 2 nice roosters at 20 and 30 pounds.  Also 20# Dog Snapper, and a very large Sierra Mackerel they were able to take back to the lodge for dinner.  That's all for this week... we'll be fishing 5 days next week.

Deep drops producing some fish

Well, only 2 days of fishing this week and the offshore action is still very slow.  The good news, is that the blue water has returned and is inside 20 miles.  On May 13^th the Mike Colucci/Brian Hollingworth group had a really slow day offshore, but managed a few grouper doing some deep drops.  We’ve started sending down some live “goggle eyes” where we’ve seen some pinnacles sticking up around 250 feet and have had some success.  The next day two other owners Bob Dowell and Jay Rintelmann had a few Osa Yacht Club employees down for a day of fishing (Satya Ortiz, Eduardo Rojas, and Danyel from Florida).  With the offshore action still slow, they went back to what worked the day before and had more success at the same rocks with the deep drop.  They caught two grouper (2# and 11#), one African Pompano (6#), and one Amberjack that went 40#.  Until next time...
