Well it,s been another awesome month. March was everything we could of hoped it to be.I had many clients down fishing in Quepos,Los Suenos,Golfito,Tamarindo,Samara and the Carribean for Tarpon.

Rob,Jennifer,and father Doug from Alberta Canada caught 7 sailfish on there first ever trip to Costa Rica and first ever trip Blue Water fishing. I hosted the trip to assure them a great time and we fished on the Fishing Machine out of Quepos, Great crew and boat to spend a day with.

Brad Pitt,s and crew enjoyed fishing out of Los Suenos catching many sail,s and eating fresh Mai-Mai aboard the R-J boat a 34??pro-line. They fished for 3 days and caught lot,s of sails everyday, They stayed in a condo and Los Suenos and also enjoyed that very much.

Brian Olsen as always had a great trip fishing with captain Bobby McGuinness out of Golfito on the Cazador they cauht sailfish,dorado,snappers and a little bit of everything. They stayed at The Los Gaviotas resort on the water in Golfito and had a great time.

Roger and Ginger Stanik were down from Wisconsin for a week vacationing in Flamingo and spent a day out fishing with Ritch on the Game Fisher2. I hosted the trip with them as as they were hoping to hook up on a marlin. The day before we hooked up twice on blues but this perticular day we had an awesome day on sails 14 up and 8 for realease no marlin up oh well any day you see a dozen or more sails is a good day. They also enjoyed the great lunch that Ritches wife put together fried chicken and awesome Pasta salad.

Gary Howard and Peter Daigle fished with myself a hosted trip on the Carrbean side to start out with Captain Eddy Brown 21 Tarpon releases in 2 days on flys awesome. Those new flys I am tying with the 4/0 Gamakatsu hooks are just deadly.Then we traveled over to the pacific side to fish with Rick Ruhlow out of Carrillo and caught a dozen or more sails both on fly and bait. Peter got a 550lb Blue marlin,Yellow fin tuna,striped marlin on fly,wahoo,dorado were also on the bite. They enjoyed very much the fresh tuna aboard the boat and also more tuna cooked to perfection at one of the local resurants in Samara that evening. My wife Emma and Danielito joined us all for a great stay at the Tree house Inn on the beach swimming in the pool and hanging out on the beach. I highly recommend the Tree House Inn in Samara to any one staying in that area as it is on the beach a new small hotel only 5 rooms,pool and serounded by many fine reserants.

Over all it was a great month as we raised many Marlin and released 10 blues and a striped Marlin as well on the fly. I have no Idea how many sail,s but over a hundred for sure,along with dorado,wahoo,and tuna. The trip to the carribean side and 21 Tarpon just made a great month out of it. We look forward to a great summer season as well the bite will move to the north Samara,Tamarindo,Flamingo as Marlin are already showing up in Flamingo. The south bite in Golfito will kick in and things will be great down there also.

Don,t forget I will be hosting some trip,s to Alaska this summer for a couple of weeks and have a few slots open if any one would care to join me for some awesome salmon fishing. Or even in Oregon the 2 months of september,october. Remmber the 55 lb king salmon last season.Please let us know and we will be glad to takecare of ya.
