Costa Rica Fishing Report
September 2008
by Todd Staley

News Flash: Crocodile Bay opens again for high season December 5th, 2008 - space is limited!

We wind down the season with a good marlin bite. John Gregore and Todd Jones had five chances on their last day broke a big one off and landed a 250 lb blue. Jesse Ketz spends most of his time playing hockey or fishing on top of ice in Minnesota. On his dream fishing trip to Costa Rica he landed everything he came for including a 300 lb blue marlin. I have never seen a happier guy. A crew was down filming for a new DVD at the Resort, so I'm sure the world will see the enthusiasm Ketz had as he took his customary ¨first marlin¨ plunge off the pier.

Ben E. Keith Company had a group of 72 anglers down from Dallas that mixed business with fishing and eco adventures. Ron Boyd led the group and they got marlin, sails, dorado, roosterfish, snapper and zip-lined through the jungle. The truly adventurous scaled the waterfall. The girls in the spa put in extra duty to accommodate the big group. As you have heard we are closing early this year and opening a little later because the government is enlarging and resurfacing the airport. When we re-open in December it will be right in the middle of the dorado, and blue marlin run.

The Caribbean trades winds begin to blow in late November across to the Pacific in Nicaragua and across the Panama Canal area. This pushes the surface water offshore and the up welling does not have enough oxygen to support sailfish. This moves the fish in large numbers to areas more suitable and fortunately for us Costa Rica is one of them. By January large numbers of fish move into the area making it less of a hunting game. The winds blow through April making it prime time for sailfish.

I know it sounds like a sales pitch but December is already filling up with folks that usually come in November and the rest of the season looks like a busy one. Reserve your spot early and we'll see you in a few months.
