Great fishing stories start with hardship. David Gibbons’ flight into Costa Rica was delayed one day due to bad weather. “We will be there tomorrow come hell or high water!” wrote David in an email from the airport.

This Blue Marlin also adjusted his schedule, and both angler and fish met up for a big battle on November 19th.

These Arkansas anglers also had appetites from the travels, and these dinner table-worthy Dorados with certainly fill the need.

Great work by the big battleship Discoverer!

The Discoverer welcomed Thomas Kerl’s group for a 5 hour half day on the 18th, and despite the shortened day the battleship still delivered the goods.

Captain Fico reports that the staple catches of Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado were present, but suprisingly they also nagged a big Wahoo.

These silver bullets are common in our area but we rarely catch them because their sharp teeth destroy our all-monofiliment rigs (a Wahoo-specific rig uses wire instead of mono). Guess is was a lucky day for the big battleship.

Ryan Brown’s group split up between the Wanderer and Discoverer on the 13th for a big day of fishing fun.

A sweet Blue Marlin was released on the Discoverer and was backed up by a nice Dorado.

Meanwhile on the Wanderer, the group loaded up on fine table fare.

Yellowfin Tunas made up the morning’s haul, yielding to big Dorados later in the trip.
