JULY 2017 – CATCH REPORT QUEPOS COSTA RICA
July saw some really nice action with both Marlin & Sailfish off Quepos. Several boats in the Quepos fleet had bumper Sailfish days catching more Sailfish than they had since the early part of the year which was a great sign. The Blue Marlin bite went off especially when there was floating debris found and days of 10+ Marlin bites between a few boats were recorded several times aswell as a few 'Grand Slams'. On certain days there was lots of bait offshore with birds and dolphins everywhere which was another great sign and there were some solid Yellow Fin Tuna caught also.
We had a great month, caught lots of species with some great fishing both Offshore & Inshore. We caught Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Amberjack, Dorado, Tuna, Snapper, African Pompano, Roosterfish, Mackerel, Jacks, Rainbow Runners plus tons of other bottom species. Our Offshore bottom fishing in July was fantastic with lots of big Silky Snappers, Groupers, Tilefish & more. We tagged & released lots of fish to support the awesome research effort of Gray FishTag Research and love being involved with this.
