Off-season? Catching Blue Marlin in Quepos Costa Rica!

[GringoJohn]

Been crazy good offseason fishing here in Costa Rica! Typically, we consider September and October to be our off season fishing months, but man last trip out we nailed the huge Blue Marlin in the first picture! We've also had tons of sailfish hits each trip out, the bottom fishing has been doing really well also. Lots of Group and Snapper out for lunch. Inshore there have been some nice large Roosterfish out, and it's been very flat and dry. Blue water is about 8 miles off the coast now and the fish have been coming right up to the 12-15 miles mark as well! There were quite a few schools of Yellow Fin out a little earlier in the year, but that's kind of winding down now. It's been a blast out here lately, and with our official high season starting in November, I expect the fishing to get better and better. To prepare for that, we've got the boat up right now and we're repainting all the little fish we paint on the bottom of the boat, and we've got a ton of new gear we're putting on as well. Should be a great year, be putting up more fish pictures soon!

1st picture, blurry but yeah!! Marlin!! about the 2nd and 5th one,nice Sail fish bro.
Then the 3rd pic I think those are groupers aren't they? or some kind of related ones I guess; excellent meat!
the most impressive pic is the rooster fish, one of that size can haul a big boat, sure the drag cried in your reel man!!!
hope you had a delicious meal with the red snapper too :lol: :lol:
