Wanna Dance ?
April 16th, 2011Inta and I have arrived Golfito after a fun filled (even went to Sea World) trip to Ocean Beach for grandkids party.Capt.J.W.Teal from Last Stall just returned from 5 days at Banko Hannibal and had nothing good to report on the Marlin bite but 80 lbs. yellowfins were thick. (red tide covering much of area,Agura reef and Isla Montuosa were clean)so we are off tonight (full moon)to the 79 mile bank in CR with cousin Jimmy and family…Local inshore sailfish bite is red hot (20/30 shots a day) and the Mahi have come on…..We’re going to go deep for the Marlin then fall back inshore if they don’t show.
Go get ’em @ 79 mile. Keep an eye open for any kind humanitarian acts, i.e. releasing huge sea turtles that have become one with tarps and boogie boards. I think the Fish Gods rewarded us on our trip for that act. Good luck, I know you will find, capture, and release numbers of Billfish @ “The Honey Hole” Tight lines, Toddy
Raised 5 Marlin at the “Papa(potato)Bank” but they were not aggressive ??? and didn’t sink a hook.Next day moved inshore(24 miles off)…Had steady action AM on the sails and then at 2:30 had the bite of the year….at least 7 billfish in the spread with 2 marlin and a sail hooked up…Every rig including dropbacks(9 total) were either “san cocho” or hooked up when another marlin is wacking the right hookless teaser 20 feet off the transom…..Where is Dave Nolt with his “pocket fisherman” when you need him ???????
As Uncle Ted would say, “Whack ’em and stack ’em” only with an Uncle Toddy twist, “Whack ’em and release ’em”. Good job Thumper and crew, wish I was there. See you guys back in Pa. Rumor has it the gobblers are heating up in Potter county. Say hola to all my friends in Costa Rica, Toddy
20 feet off the transom is better than 3 feet over the transom. 20 feet is a sight to behold, 0 feet is an heart attack! I’ll never forget that Jan trip, thanks again for the memories. Bobby is on the birds. I hope you are still planning a visit to redneck country. The woods have greened up, leafed out and the thunder chickens are squalling!
On lots of birds, have carried several kids so far 3 for 3……….better hurry or all of your birds will be gone!!!! I did not take my gun this time so the kids had a better chance of getting a bird!! Sounds like yall had a good fishing trip with Jimmy and Nash..Hope you can come to redneck country soon!!!!
