Gooooooooooooooooooooooood fishing Costa Rica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we are in the month of June, down at the Los Sueños Marina. Ran into Captain Walton and mate Christian. Lets see what’s up so far….
6/4 Today David De La Garza is aboard Sunny One and docks after releasing 5 Sailfish and hooking up 3 Yellow Fin Tuna………..
6/5 Today we find Chris Gowen angling on Sunny One and returns after 2 Sailfish released and 3 Yellow Fin Tuna boarded………
6/8 Deborah Fitzpatrick up next ,steams out early and docks after releasing 1 Sailfish and 2 fine Yellow Fin Tuna.
That’s a wrap for the first of June…we’re starting to see a little rain coming on as we are beginning our rainy season – however the fishing is always good and when it does rain most times it will hold off until the afternoon – plus everything is lush and a beautiful green!!!!!!!!!!
Here are a few tips to make your fishing better:
remember no bananas on board ever
don’t have your fishing belt strapped on until you are hooked up
don’t uncap your camera lens until a fish is on
these are some sea protocol that may mean nothing but it is always good to follow these rules of Ocean fishing and keep the Gods happy
as always stay up on our Web for the best deals on Luxury condos and villas….And keep up with Sunny One action by going to http://www.youtube.com/user/sunnysporfishing.
Until next time, keep your tip up………..Catch’em Up – Salty Dog |

February 2011
Had an awesome day of fishing today! The morning was kind of slow, using the gyro - binoculars, we found an enormous (over an acre) school of spinner dolphins and Yellow Fin Tuna in the morning, and there were 100 pound Tuna jumping all around the boat. Millions of birds, seagulls, brown boobies, and frigates. We were so excited when we got there, because we had loaded up on the live bait in the morning and tlive bait on a school like this is almost guaranteed a day full of 100 pounders. We stopped in front of the school countless times though, and nothing would bite! There was even once where a 100+ YF jumped out of the water chasing a flying fish and landed right on top of our poor sardine, and still no hookup! We tried cedar plugs, feather jigs, birds, daisy chains, pencil jigs, sardines, blue runners, and finally lookdowns. Nothing. Frustrated with seeing the big cow tuna jumping all around us, and getting tired of the "white rain" of the huge school of birds overhead, we decided to head a little more offshore and try to save the day with some billfish. About 12:30, we had our first looker. Mike (the mate) saw an unusual wake behind the short teaser and everybody started yelling, Mike throws the pitch bait, teaser comes in, Fish takes / touches the bait. Mike lets the line go freespool... one ... two ... three .. four ...five ... six. Mike raises the brake... Nothing. No bent rod, not even a zancocho. (zancocho is the Spanish word for when you have a fish and he eats your ballyhoo and not the hook). After examination of the bait, it looks like the fish just swatted at it with the bill but wasn't eating. A little bummed out we didn't land our first one, but excited we finally were seeing hungry fish, we decided to stay in the area. We started making circles and it wasn't 10 minutes later and finally had our first hook up. Double sailfish. One knocked down the long rigger bait (ballyhoo) and one was on the teaser. Mike quickly bait and switched the close one and Jose (2nd mate) dropped the rigger line into freespool letting the fish eat, raising the brake to demonstrate how to successfully use a circle hook! The fish of course go in opposite directions, so we have to use the reels to get them all to the boat. Finally the day was getting started! It was now about 1:15 and we had 2 to the boat. We drop the lines in the water again, running a sprial pattern out from where we had the double and this time a sail kills our yellow green islander and somehow someone got a picture of him knocking it into the air! No hookup yet, but on the next pass we had one on the long teaser which is a pink moldcraft squid daisy chain with the large chugger islander chaiser(with a ballyhoo but no hook), quick pitch bait throw, teaser in and fish hooked! By 3:30 we had released a total of 8 sailfish out of the 15 sailfish we had behind the boat. Today the fish were in love with the pink daisy chains and green chasers. Our moldcraft daisy chain had 6 fish on it, and we have another diasy chain made from 3 sea striker pink birds being chased by a green moldcraft wide range that had 5. Alot of the plain ballyhoo hits were on the riggers right behind the chains as well.
We just started running ballyhoos behind each of the teasers like a pitchbait and then the long ballyhoos on the corners and the really long center ballyhoo, and I think it has helped raise more fish. We go through more ballyhoo, but sometimes when the fish was just coming to look and that pitchbait is already swimming behind the teaser, he just changes his mind for an easy meal  We also just had the riggers lowered for the calm season here, giving us a wider spread and pulling the fish from a better angle and making everything swim better. We are lucky though, we haven't even had 1 foot seas for the last two months, and shouldn't get into any waves until the end of May so we can get away with having the riggers about 2 feet off of the water. It's fun because it's so stinkin wide we can get all the baits out of the boat wake and into the clear blue water! It's kind of a neat setup, it wouldn't have worked in Texas or Florida because it's never flat (or at least not when I would go out), but it's something different we can do here!
It was a action packed afternoon and we got back in with some tired fisherman! Enjoy the pics! Great day of fishing out of Quepos, Costa Rica!

End Of October on the Stress Reeliever
Great day out on the water today. We had tons of Dorado and boated at least 7 big ones and some smaller ones as well. We also boated a sailfish and it was the customer's first, so that is always a blast! More important than the report are the pictures which were absolutely awesome. Great cameramen on board today as all these came from the customers! I really like the aerial shots of the Dorados. Well, here's the pictures, enjoy!

Fishing Reports:
October 19 2010
Had a great day out on the water today with not only great fisherman but great cameramen as well, as the pictures show! We went fishing with a gentleman from San Diego today and his two Godsons and since two of them had never hooked into a billfish before, billfish were the target. Just some background for those of you unfamiliar with Quepos, October is right at the end of our low season, and fishing is generally considered to be much easier from Nov-May. With that in mind, we decided that the farther out we go, the better the chance of getting something with a bill. We ended up cruising out to about 40-45 n. miles out. Well, turned out to be an awesome day releasing 2 sailfish along with getting 3 YF Tuna and 6 Dorado to the boat. It was an awesome time and we met our goals, and now the whole family has a Pacific sailfish checked off their list! If the fishing is this good in October, i really expect it to pick up for November and this high season should produce some great numbers. We also went out a couple of other times this week and had two nice Marlin hookups. We hooked a 450 pound Blue and 300 Blue in two different days. Unfortunately, we lost both the fights, but just seeing those fish come out of the water on the strike and then hearing the line peel away made it super exciting! Also, as you can see from the pictures, the weather this October has been great. The ocean was pretty much flat all day and made it easy to spot the Tuna Schools from miles away using the Fujinon's. We actually found 5 different groups of spinner dolphins in the morning today before 12 o'clock. The bottom picture seems to sum up our days recently, with me and Jerry looking ahead for stuff and Mike getting a better angle to see when the sailfish come into the spread. Another great day of fishing in Quepos Costa Rica!

Fishing Reports:
October 9 2010
Fishing has been picking up. Although I haven't been trolling for them, we are starting to see the sailfish come back in and this November - April is going to be great for catching billfish! Right now, we have been doing some botom fishing most mornings and getting between 10-30 nice sized Amberjacks, or as they are called in Florida, "Reef Donkeys". In the afternoons we have been using the stabilized binoculars to find schools of Yellow Fin Tuna. On our last three trips, we have found spinner dolphins feeding all three times and 2 times we caught over 10 nice sized 15-40 pounders! There have also been lots of snapper coming off the bottom, and we're getting a few on almost every trip. Today we actually went out and had a great day as well, scoring 30+Amberjacks and 10 big Yellow Fin Tunas. We were hooked up pretty much for 8 hours straight, usually with more than one fish. The customers went home today with lots dinner and muscle aches! With the new sonar installed on the boat, we now have litrally hundreds of bottom fishing spots, and if anybody is a big bottom fishing fan, or just want to spend all day hooked up, I believe we can find a great bottom fish bite pretty much all year. Great day out, and I can't wait until November gets here and I can start posting billfish pictures again!
August 26
Had a super exciting day offshore today and we caught an enourmous amount of fish. We started the day off fishing on the bottom and scored more than 10 Amberjacks and a couple of Snappers. By about 11 everybody had had enough reeling so we went out in search of something on top. We caught a Dorado as we were leaving the Furuno banks and then about 5 miles off the Furuno banks, we came across a floating tree. These floating "reefs" are going to be the main theme for the next couple of months. I actually just imported an expensive pair of stabilized binoculars to help us find these and when you do the results are great! We ended up pulling 5 nice wahoos out from under this tree and another 10ish Dorados! After calling the position out to the other captains in the area, we moved off the stick and had a double sailfish bite, but they were just playing with the teasers. An awesome day where we put 30 fish in the boat of quite a few different species!
Here is what a customer said about us this August:
John, Donna and I had a great time fishing with you and your guys last week. Donna's arm hurt for 3 days after pulling up those AJ's and snapper. Look forward to fishing with you guys in the future!
Robbie W
August 15
We went out for a couple of hours today on the bottom, and had pretty good results. We usually let most of our fish go, but today is mother's day here in Costa Rica and the mates wanted some fish to cook up for mom! We probably caught about twice as many amberjacks, and spent about 2.5 hours fishing. We went back in early, but I think if we had stayed out all day we would have gotten a billfish in the afternoon. Another great day fishing in Quepos, Costa Rica!
August 6, 2010
Sailfish, Amberjacks and Snapers are the story of August so far. Usually in August there aren't that many sailfish around, as our season in November through May. I can only imagine how good the season will be this year having so many billfish in the off season! In addition to the unusually great billfishing, the bottom has been really hot! It has made trips super interesting because we have been bottom fishing in the mornings while we collect live bait, and then have been trolling in the afternoons for billfish. It has been pretty successful, and we have been averaging at least a sailfish per day, with tons and tons of other nice fish while we fish on the bottom.We had had many days of over 20 nice fish to the boat! We have also been seeing tons and tons of little Dorado coming through. That should mean by mid October, we will start having the bulls come in and everybody knows how great Dorado season is here! We've got the spinning reels all oiled up waiting for Dorado, and we are looking for people who like to hook one and then see how many we can have on at the same time. Last year, we had five on multiple times so this year we need to have a 6 at once! It's going to be an awesome winter here, I can't wait!

Sport fishing in Costa Rica is great. It's a wonderful place to go for the yellowfin, tarpon, marlin, wahoo and sailfish. There are so many places to go but I would have to agree that the Pacific coast is the way to go. For a recommendation Tamarindo Sport Fishing is a great way to go.
Take a look at the photos and see for yourself. Steave Curtis up at the top has some good photos as well! |

Quepos Fishing Report January 2010
Here in Quepos, we look forward to our coming New Year. Our Captains here in Quepos at the pier yesterday afternoon came in with this. Brian White came in Releasing 2 Sailfish and 1 Dorado which he brought out for dinner. Bob Bauer fishing one of our 27' Outboards raised 6 Sailfish and released 2 of them. Jeff Bara who fished one of our 33' Sportfishers released 2 Sailfish and had 3 big Dorado. He was really pleased with the crew.
Our 33' Bodacious departed Los Suenos this morning at 0600. The mothership departed at 0700 bound for Bahia Carrillo 60 miles up the coast, to meet up with Bodacious after fishing north. Capt. Chris put the baits in 30 miles due south of Carrillo on the 1,000 fathom line. They had 1 stripe and 1 blue in the pattern, but could not convert. They went 1 for 5 on the sailfish. Colby released a nice 120 pound sail. They kept 4 dorado and released 2 more. The weather was a bit bumpy, but fishable. Not a bad first day. Our other Game Boat, Jana Lynn caught 2 Blue's, both around 300 pounds very near the area Bodacious fished. I believe the plan for tomorrow will be to fish the same area.
Dec. 31 John Briggs released 5 Sails today, Sandy Francis released 1 sail and 3 Mahi, Inshore clients on the fly had 5 nice releases of Roosters and kept the Snappers. Dr. Lortcher fishing further North had a fun day inshore. |

Costa Rica Fishing Reports have been terrific with Quepos Sailfishing Charters. The Delgozzos fished 2 days with Frenzy and had some nice catches both days. Ed Dunklee fished inshore 2 days with Nano and got some nice Roosters on the first day and some nice Jacks on the second.
Vincent Delgozzo quotes:We recently contacted Quepos Sailfishing Charters for a family trip to Costa Rica, Leanne set us up with a charter aboard the Frenzy II out of Quepos, CR for two days. We had Marco and his dad for Mates and Jose as the captain. First and foremost: THIS IS A TOP NOTCH CREW. Day one we decided to target Mahi for some dinner. We were able to raise about 12, but only 3 came tight. They just weren't eating that aggressively But day two was a banner day for anyone. We raised and caught 3 sailfish, 3 yellow fin tuna one of which was about 90#, 13 Mahi, and 9 triple tail. This was an action packed day and a lot of fun on the water. The crew worked hard the entire time and both days we fished longer than expected which is always a nice surprise for serious anglers. We will fish on the Frenzy again and with Quepos Sailfishing Charters as they fulfilled all of our needs!
Ed Dunklee was here in January and released 8 Sailfish and Dorado he came this time in search of Roosterfish. From start to finish, my second visit to use Quepos Sailfishing Charters

For those who are coming down to Costa Rica on the green season (August, September, October and early November):
We have dry conditions right now, it is no rainy at all, and the weather is similar to March. This weather condition is owing to the El Niño Phenomenon. So, do not wait for rainy days or a fresh weather, rather bring sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen, weather is hot and with sunny days with very occasional showers, especially in the night.
On August 31,
Lino Guido, the Wahoo captain, took a family from the Four Seasons Papagayo Resort for a 3 hours charter. They caught one wahoo and one tuna.
On August 28,
On this Playa Grande fishing charter, 3 guys aboard the La Chila-G boat, with Jesus Mendez captain were fishing offshore. They raised 5 sailfish and released 3 of them, also they caught one dorado and one wahoo.
