Tim Nolan group, First week of August 2008

The first week of August we had Tim Nolan and friends down for 3 days of fishing.  It has still been slow offshore (raised 2 marlin, neither ate), and hot inshore.  Among the catch were Yellow Snapper, small (football) Yellow Fin Tuna, Mullet Snapper, African pompano, Roosterfish and Amberjack.  The three photos are of the pompano (nice one), a nice AJ, Pacific Amberjack, Almaco Jack, Almaco Amberjack, or however you want to call it, Jurel de Castilla in spanish (Seriola rivoliana) is 35 pounds.  The highlight of the trip was this Roosterfish or Pez Gallo in spanish, (Nematistius pectoralis) that weighed 61 pounds.  One more group is coming the third week of August, so until then...Adios amigos.

  

Ben Citrin family, last week of August

           The last week in July, we had Ben Citrin (Mobile, Alabama) and his family for a week of fishing.  While offshore, they saw only one sailfish in 5 days, and got a release.  Inshore there were Roosters(all around 25#), various snapper(Yellow, Rock, Mullet, etc.) caught by everyone, including this 51# Cubera Snapper for Ben. Congratulations…!  Everyone caught some fish each day and, that same fresh fish was on the menu each evening.  It was a great first time for the whole family to visit Costa Rica together. Hope to see you again next year Ben…until next time…Adios amigos.
