3 day fishing in Quepos, Costa Rica

Very nice RAY....D.

We have a lot more pictures. Will post some more later.

The boats were strictly fishing machines, not luxury boats.
Clean boat, fighting chair, ice chests, fuel tank, engine, helm tower above and small storage/head compartment. Perfect for day trips.
The tackle must have been the right choice. We trolled for about 30 minutes before we got a bite, next 30 min. we had 3 Sails caught and released.
We only brought a few into the boat for pictures, the rest were cut off in the water.
As soon as the fish was cut off, the lines were back in the water and we were trolling again.
Sometimes we had a fish on before all lines were out.
One Sailfish hit every teaser in the spread. The capt and mate was pulling in teasers to get it on a hook.

More pics of the beach behind hotel. It is about 1/8 mile walk down black top road, then 1/8 mile down gravel pathway. Kayak rentals at the beach also.

There were Monkeys and Toucans everywhere. Few Sloths also.

Looks like a great trip Ray. My son AggieTiger and I went last May and fished three days out of Los Suenos. First day was 8 hookups/ 5 sails. 2nd day we targeted blue marlin and he caught and released one at about 400# then we caught a few snapper on way in. We stayed at the Marrriott. We're planning another trip in May as we speak bit I'll have to take a look at Gringo John's deals now.

Great photos. That 'hoo is delicioso'!

Forgot to ask: Was anyone catching tuna?

Awesome pics

We had a few hook ups that we lost also. I just counted the ones we brought to the boat.
We fished Los Suenos 3 times. Nice place, but actually caught more fish on this trip.
If you stay at Los Suenos, the condo's are cheaper than the Marriott.
If we would have stayed out longer on day 3, we would have caught more. My wife was just tuckered out.
I fished 3 days with this charter service for about $500 more than just 1 day at Los Suenos.
