MARCH 2017 - QUEPOS COSTA RICA FISHING REPORT

We have just finished an excellent month Fishing in Costa Rica and a huge thank you to all of you that Fished with us this month for making it all possible!

The main highlights for us in March was the excellent Roosterfish action with lots of Fish in the 20-40lb range, we released several 50lb+ Roosters and there were 70-80lb Roosters released by other boats in the fleet. We have caught some solid Cubera Snappers and we are trying to Tag & Release as many of these as possible for Gray FishTag Research & Gray Taxidermy. Good sized Snook are being caught at the Rivermouths along our coastline and as they continue to fatten up on the abundence of bait we expect to see some really nice Snook in April (the 59lb World Record was caught in our waters!). Offshore there were Sailfish, some big Yellow Fin Tuna, Blue Marlin and a few Dorado. We did not see the really hot Sailfish bite that we would expect in March but on 29 March we had a great day raising 15 Sails and on most offshore trips we are releasing between 2 and 6 Sailfish. With flat seas, tight lines & ice cold beers what more could you ask for!

A summary of our March 2017 trips aboard the 31' GOOD DAY:

1 March – Released 2 Sailfish
2 March – 2 Yellow Fin Tuna 120lb & an 85lb on a Popper! Released 1 Sailfish & lost 2 more
