Ryan, you may kiss the bride!

INSHORE –

The fishing has been very good for the conditions recently.  The rains have just started to let up,(two days now with no rain) so the rivers have been clear at the mouths.  Yesterday clients caught Mackerel, Jacks and Snapper.

OFFSHORE –

Dorado are still the main target but debris lines are not as common now so trolling is the way to find them.  There are plenty.  Sailfish are being seen daily and some Marlin have been raised recently.  Wahoo are still being seen around structure.

FRESHWATER –

The rivers have been looking good and fishing well.  On Saturday Machaca in the 3 pound range were eating size 2 weighted streamers in the afternoon on the lower part of the Savegre.

Fishing by trash is fun!

INSHORE – The fishing has been very fun and varied recently.  There have been 30 plus pound Roosters taken this week and well as Corvina, Mackerel, Snapper, and Dorado.  One day folks on a half day trip were able to run 6 miles offshore and fished to a trash line that was holding juvenile and bull Dorado.

OFFSHORE – The fishing has been great for Dorado because there is a lot of flotsam and jetsam around offshore.  There have been trash lines anywhere from 9 miles to 20 plus and a lot of the time there are two lines, one closer inshore and one at the edge of the blue water.  Marlin and Wahoo are being caught around offshore structure and Sailfish are being taken around trash and structure.

FRESHWATER – The rivers are still going up and down with the rains but there are days where the conditions are great.  One day can be high and carrying debris and the next can be calm and fishable.  Check with us for a daily report on water conditions.

Trippletail on the fly. Mmm-mmm-good!

Inshore- This week we have had a lot of rain which has dropped the water temperatures.  On Tuesday we had some readings of 75 to 76 degrees.  The Roosters are still active with another client getting their first Gallo.  With the rains, debris from the rivers has washed out and some days forms up nice “trash lines” where the fishing can be great.  The lines move and change on a daily basis, some days being thick and the next undefined.  These lines move from 5 miles off the coast to 15  - 20 miles, usually.  Last week we found some trash inshore and fished to Dorado and Trippletail with flies.  We took 5 decent berrogate (Tripple’s) and some 15 lbs. Dorado.  Sight casting to fish under the debris is productive as well as chumming.

Offshore- The bite has been different daily but Dorado are still the big target in the blue water.  One boat had 15 over 20 lbs in one morning with Wahoo also being taken.  Sailfish are being caught every day but right now everybody is fixated on Dorado.

Freshwater – The rivers took a pounding this week with heavy rains falling for hours each day.  Surprisingly the smaller creeks and canals can run clear depending on the proximity of recent rains, but the big drainages are still flowing large and unpredictably.

Inshore – The river mouths are dirty this week with a lot of rains in the mountains.  This produces a large “current line” that can hold Snook and Corvina that patrol in and out of the color changes.  This week Captain Pepsi caught Roosters in the 20 to 30 lbs. range, Mackerel, Trippletail and Trevally.

Offshore – There has been a lot of debris pushed out into the ocean by the rains and the Dorado are everywhere.  Sailfish were caught this week by every boat but Dorado is what is keeping everybody busy.  Wahoo have also been taken around the seamounts.

Freshwater – The rivers are really hit or miss right now with the color and flows changing daily.  Contact us to see what yesterday’s conditions were like.

The Roosterfish almost outweighs her!

Do we have any krill flies for Humpbacks?

Inshore – Great fishing these days with just about everything being caught inshore including Roosterfish, Snook, Snapper, Mackerel, Tuna, Skipjack, Bonito, even Sailfish and Wahoo are being seen.  The Humpbacks we are seeing are about the only thing we aren’t prepared to cast to.

Offshore – More Sailfish are being caught recently but Dorado are still the most consistent action.  Tuna are being caught when they are closer to the surface and being followed by predators.

Freshwater – The rivers are fishing great but are up and down and all around right now and the color changes frequently.  Call us for daily updates.

"Make it look like I caught it!"

Inshore – On Friday, Captain Pepsi had 3 Roosters to the boat by 8 AM and then went looking for Snook in the river mouth where they caught fish up to 20 lbs., and then they finished their half day trip by chasing Jack Crevalle that were feeding on the surface.

Offshore – Lot’s of Dorado!  They are being caught everywhere, especially around structure and debris.  Fly casting is productive when we can find floating shelter.  Wahoo and Sailfish are being taken but not in large numbers like Dorado.

Freshwater – The rivers look great color-wise, but are flowing quickly making wade fishing very difficult.  Float trips are productive for Machaca, Snook and Roncador with flies and spinning lures.

Snook at this!

Inshore – The fishing has been great with Roosters being caught daily and Snook, Corvina and Snapper also being found around the river mouths and structure.  The rivers are starting to fill up so the mouths are big, but are still home to 10 to 30 lbs. Snook.  There are many Pacific Jack Crevalle in the area and active schools are being seen daily.

Offshore – Dorado are being caught everywhere, and Wahoo are being found around sea mounts and debris.  Sailfish are being seen in smaller numbers but are still being caught.

Freshwater – The rivers are getting big, and are changing color with every rain storm in the mountains.  The flows are up but the fishing is good with Machaca, Snook and Roncador being caught on every trip.

Melissa Harris and Jack

Inshore – Roosterfish, Snook, Corvina, Trippletail, and Pacific Jack Crevalle all were caught by Pez Rey clients this week, among them was  Melissa Harris who caught her first Roosterfish on Sunday with Captain Pepsi.

Offshore – The Sailfish and Dorado have been active with most boats getting to fight Sails and most bringing Dorado home for dinner.  Marlin are still being seen over 25 miles out.  A good bite has been on at “bajo 26″ with many Wahoo in the area.  Captain Pepsi, Dennis Arnold and I spent the day on the veinte seis last week and had fish take Repalas, chum and dead bait.

Freshwater – The rivers area flowing at a great level and color now and the Machaca and Roncador are actively responding to streamer flies, as well as spinning tackle.

Inshore – The weather is great and the fishing is tambien.  Roosterfish are being caught almost every trip and Snook, Snapper, Corvina, Jacks and Mackerel are all seen weekly.

Offshore – The last week has seen Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Tuna and Wahoo all being caught by lucky anglers.  The bite around structure is producing numerous Wahoo and Snapper.

Freshwater – Machaca and Roncador have both become much more active since their habitats are growing again.  Fishing from inflatable drift provide the best action but wade fishing is very productive as well.

Teamwork

Inshore – The Roosters have decided to eat a little more liberally this past week with only a couple taking Lookdowns.  Sierra Mackerel have been abundant with nice 10 plus pounders lurking with the younger fish.  Snapper are eating well on bait around structure.  Some great days have been seen around the river mouths with 5 and 7 Snook trips and Corvina being thrown into the mix.

Offshore – Every boat that has been going out has been catching Sailfish and Dorado with more of the later than the former.  Marlin are still being caught weekly and Wahoo are being caught around the offshore structure.

Freshwater – The rivers are finally at a great level for float fishing trips in inflatable drift boats and the Machaca are very active now.
