Good morning fishermen. I have been down to Puntahenas the past two weeks. We had to take the Scorpion out of the water and that is the only place with a lift large enough.When I arrived yesterday I talked to all our captains, and they all had good fishing reports. All boats are raising 5 to 10 sails a day and yesterday Good Dog had 15 sails and a marlin. All boats are hooking up at least one marlin on every charter and are also doining good with dorado. All our boats are here in Flamingo and as in the past our best sailfish season is June,July and August so it looks like we are off to a good start this season.  Thank you.  Fred

Good morning you all.  Fishing has not been great the past two weeks Quepos was very slow with none or one sail fish per day,however the clean water moved in two  days ago and our boat Crazy Dog had seven sail releases yesterday using live bait. Carrillo is also a little slow with one  or two sails a day and perhaps a marlin. Cold and dirty water in Flamingo turned off the fish. Yesterday the water improved and there was a little action with both sails and marlin. Thank you.  Fred

Good afternoon fishermen. Everything still looks good Good Dog and all other boats out of Flamingo are releasing one or more marlin every trip plus plenty of dorado. Yesterday in Carrillo our boat Bad Dog released 4 marlin with 8 hook ups plus a lot of dorado. The largest marlin was 600 plus lbs. This marlin run from Carrillo north to Flamingo will probably continue for another 4 to 6 weeks, so now  is the time to make your reservations if you want to catch a big one.In Quepos the sailfishing is still pretty good, 4 to 6  sails released per boat per day, no marlin but the in shore fishing is good. I will be back soon Thank you.  Fred

Hi everyone, This is a great saturday aternoon. I have not heard a report  yet today but, yesterday  Capt Dan here in Flamingo released two blue marlin, a sail and boated 6 big dorado. Capt. Warren in Carrillo on Bad Dog released a Blue and striped marlin and a sail yesterday also with a lot  of large dorado. In Quepos Crazy Dog 6 for 7 sails yesterday and Mad Dog had 5 sails both boats had a lot of big dorado. Now is the time to be here. hank you.  Fred

The fishing is as good as it gets along the entire west coast. All boats here in Flamingo are catching 4 to 7 sailfish per day along with a few marlin.South in Carrillo it's the same 7 to 10 sailfish per day and  also some marlin with no wind just beautiful weather. Further south in Quepos the bite is starting to get hot all boats are picking up 3 to 4 sailfish per day but not much marlin action. If your bag is billfish now is the time to come to Costa Rica. Talk to you soon.  Fred.

Good morning fishermen, Fishing is so good I thought I should report. Yesterday Crazy Dog in Quepos had seven sail fish and Mad Dog had six also both boats had several dorado. Yesterday Warren down in Carrillo did a half day charter on Bad Dog released a nice marlin and four large dorado in the 45+ lb range and Good Dog fishing out of Flamingo had three marlin on with one release and some nice dorado. Thank you and talk to you soon.   Fred

Good afternoon guys,  I don't know what Warren did today down in Carrillo but yesterday he had seven sailfish and one marlin. Here in Flamingo Good Dog had had six sail fish and and a lot of dorado today. Very little wind so we  are enjoying some  good fishing days. My son Freddy is leaving tonight for Quepos with two boats. We don't hear much out of Quepos very few boats are going out. We start fishing this Sunday so as soon as the boats get back I will have a report from Quepos for you. Thank you.  Fred

Good afternoon all. This is a great friday. The weather is great just a little bit of wind. All boats going off shore are are getting hit by the marlin, and not to far offshore, they are picking them up in about 300 ft of water. Any anglers who have fished Flamingo in the past know that is pretty close to  shore. All boats are releasing two to three marlin per day in the 300 to 500 lb range, and some boats are hooking up to six marlin. Great things in Carrillo just marlin,marlin and more marlin. Capt. Warren reports releasing three to four marlin every day this week down in Carrillo. Now is the time for any of you tough fishermen who want to fight a big fish , the time is now. Any angler wishing to know the current status of the fishing or the weather can call me at 215 395 6373 it's a free call for you. We are sending one or two boats down to Quepos this Sunday. The fishing is still a little slow but the are starting to see a few sail fish  down there. I will be back soon.  Thank you.  Fred

Good afternoon. It's a beautiful day  here in Flamingo and the fishing is just as good. Only good news today, yesterday CrazY DOG had two for three marlin releases, one sail and five dorado in the 35 to 40 lb range. Wild Dog had four marlin on the hook, couldnot keep them on the hook and lost them all, but had a good dorado day.Just received a call from Warren down in Carrillo our boat  Bad Dog had two blue marlin releases already this morning. Carrillo will probably be a real hot spot for marlin within the next two weeks. The wind is still holding for us here in Flamingo and we  only lost two days of fishing so far this month due to the wind.There was six boats fishing out of Flamingo yesterday and all had at least two marlin. This marlin fishing is usually this good or better till the end of March. Thank you and will report soon.   Fred

Good morning, good morning every one. Well yesterday Crazy Dog had 3 for 6 marlin releases, sailfish and big dorado. GOOD dog and wild Dog  had almost as  good a day. From now to the next 10 weeks you can predict any boat fishing out of Flamingo will catch marlin. All boats are releasing sailfish but the big body of sails will arrive after March. The bottom fishing for grouper and snapper is as good as it could get or as many as you can reel in. Bad Dod is leaving for Carrillo in two days with Capt. Warren Sellers. Warren has fished the entire coast since 1974 and started then in Tamarindo. We expect a great year this year in Carrillo. If you want that big one come on down.  Thank you.   Fred

Good morning everyone.  The new year is only two days away, and the fishing looks good for 2008 season. As expected the marlin are here. The water is clean with a lot of bait in the water and January February and March have always been the good marlin months.For the past several weeks all of our charters have released marlin along with a few sailfish. We don"t expect much sailfish action until after March. The weather is holding good so far, no rain and very little wind. We expect the wind to increase before the end of January and the 31 ft boats have a difficult time fishing very far off shore. Our larger boat "Scorpion" has never missed a day fishing due to the wind. Early in January we will send our boat "Mad Dog" south to Corrillo where there is very little wind and the sailfishing is very good. By the second or third week in January we will send two of our boats down to Quepos. The end of January and February are the hot sailfish months. My son Freddy just returned from Quepos and reported they are starting to see some marlin action. The inshore fishing off Flamingo has been good. Two of our boats went bottom fishing last week each boat boated 40 plus grouper in the 4 to 6 lb range. Yesterday Crazy Dog fished a half day and came back with 17 Grouper in the 25 to 40 lb range. As you can guess I'm eating grouper twice a day. The rooster fishing is good and this is right along the shore line so you have no wind problem. Now that the season is starting I will report more often. Thank you. Fred

Good morning all you fishermen. I had to come up here to Pennsylvania for a few days and boy is it cold. Well, since my last report the fishing has changed, all that dirty water we had is gone and the nice blue water is here. All month our boats are hooking up marlin on every charter and we are also getting a lot of big dorado 50+ lbs.  Yesterday I talked to my son Freddy in Flamingo and he reported the Bad Dog came back at noon time and had two black marlin two sailfish and some big dorado. Crazy Dog had a grand slam a blue marlin, black marlin and stripe marlin and a lot of dorado. Wild Dog and Good Dog  also had marlin , sailfish, doradr and tunas.The marlin fishing should  improve right through Jan, Feb and March. Januarry usually is the start of the windy season and at times the smaller boats can not go very far off shore. For myself I have had my best marlin days with 6 to 8 ft seas. The nice thing about the Pacific is there is no chop and many times I have been out there in 40 to 50 knot winds. In January we will send a boat 60 miles south to Corrillo where there is very little wind and in February two boats will go down to Quepos when the sailfish season starts. If any of you anglers want marlin now is the time in Flamingo, just call the airline and order your ticket.  I will be in Flamingo in a few days and will post some pictures of the anglers. Thank you and will talk to you soon.   Fred

Good morning every one. My son ,Freddy and I just returned from Miami after 10 days, we went to the Ft. Lauderdale boat show.Last week Oct. 28 and 29th four of our boats fished both days and they had a total of 48 sailfish and 16 marlin and with a lot of dorado big ones.Our boats that fished Nov. 1,2,3and 4th all had a minimum 7 sails and each boat had 1 or 2 marlin . Yesterday one boat that called in,not our boat, had 17 sailfish releases and one marlin. Our boats that are fishing north find a lot of dorado in the 50lb size with good sailfishing also. Our report from Quepos and south is the fishing is not good.We got a little north wind today which means ,I hope, very little rain and a lot of son. This year the marlin bite is a little early, it usually starts in December but now we hope it will only get better. We  should have a good season this year. If anyone would like call me for a fishing report the number is 215-395 6373, it's a US number and it's patched to me here in costa rica. Thank you.  Fred

Good morning readers.  Fishing is a little slow , but if you want to do some inshore fishing it's fair or compared to Florida or New Jersey I think you can consider the fishing here pretty good. Bad Dog went fishing up at the Bat Islands and landed 8 nice wahoo to 45lbs. You can see Cheryls picture with two nice ones she brought home for dinner on Gallery # 1. she also had 12 dorado and 3 small tunas and she came back early, not bad for a Sunday morning. Crazy Dog fished the Catalina Island yesterday with 4 wahoo and 12 yellowfin tunas . The tuna is 25 to 35 lbs. We have always said October is our slowest month, but as you can see it's not that slow.  The fishing south is very slow, the boys in Quepos tell us the rain  is so hard  that boats are not going out. The same down in Golfito. The good news is in just  four more weeks the rain will be gone.  We will have boats in Quepos in January and we also expect to have a boat in Carillo this year. So come on down and we will try for that big one.  Thank you.   Fred
