Golfito CR Fishing Report 9/12/2011
September 18th, 2011Low season at Fishhook Marina, fortunately somebody forgot to tell the Thumper Team. They also forgot to tell the….
Our 3 day,3 night extreme offshore trip turned into 2 days as we were running out of ice AND HAD NO MORE FREEZER OR COOLER SPACE!!!!
Ripped up the Yellowfin to 60 kilo’s day 1 while heading for the deep. Got greedy day 2 on a triple Marlin hookup.Tried to catch them all and got squat. Lost a hooked up Penn 30W rig overboard in that battle(don’t ask)….
Other collateral damage during the trip included the auto pilot brain taking a dump, broke a Shimano 80, a head pump failure, and our squid daisy chain teaser with it’s big blue and white Ilander Express(some rigs translate in any ocean) getting ripped off by a passing Marlin as we were clearing to fight another. 8 Blues and 1 sail released day 2……..
Inshore had our way with the roosters…
Fought 8 caught 5. Gabe and Jeremy out of Eugene each had triple Blue Marlin releases day 2. Strong work for Ducks…..This marks the end of the 2011 season for Thumper……
Released 72 sails, 2 stripes, 39 blues and 11 blacks over 23 offshore days. Next up the WBS(World Billfish Series) Guatemala, the traditional start of the Pacific Central American winter billfish season. Team mates are Capt Tim Hake of O.C.MD. and 20LBS. World Champ Texan JW Bones.
Top Marlin angler 2011, Chris Davis with 12 releases.
Sweet trip! I don’t see why 3 to the boat is such a problem though…they’re just fish…anyway…
Can we book out some space the last week of March/first week of April? I think I hear rumor of a flock of ducks and some San Diego strays headed that direction…
Surprise catch for Everyone.:Locals included. No one seems to fish this time of
year. This Old fishermans ‘ Tale disproved by Ducks and crew.
Thanks again, Beto and Ronny and special guest mate, Condor.
Condor(Carlos) comes in from Pinas Bay(Tropic Star way) and Panama City. Carlos crewed with us to Isla Mujueres.
more than 3 OK Maya, just have to be really fast getting to the rod…It’s brutal!
Wow nice roosters!
I have witnessed the beautiful fishing in September! A big thanks to Harry and the Crew Ronny, Beto and Condor for putting us on the fish! It was amazing to watch and participate in! I AM NOW A ADDICT…..Do they have meetings for this type of thing?
We call it affliction,not addiction….only cure…Come to camp Inta with Briez and consume vast quantities of adult xxxxxxx naked in the pool and on the beach….Then when your heads right we’ll roll offshore and DO IT AGAIN…..
Holy fish! Nice work you guys. Looks like you are gettin’ done in fine style! Kerry and I are eying up Golfito for 2012! Denver – San Jose direct! Do not pass go, do not collect $200! Much love, David
Harry,
How can you declare the 2011 season over in September? What about your November trip and your December trip? What season will they be part of?
Also, I think you are going to need to add a Thumper statistician. Everybody knows how good you are with math…especially when we get into double digit releases and multiple trips!
Great season…whenever it started and ended.
Let’s do it again.
Chris
