Detailed January fishing report from the [url "http://www.queposadventures.com/"]Estrella de Mar,[/url] Quepos Costa Rica

January 6
Our clients from Michigan had an outstanding day of offshore fishing raising 11 sailfish, catching and releasing 8, they also raised 6 tuna, and 4 bull dorado.

January 7
The guys from Michigan returned for another day of fishing and reported 7 sailfish caught and released along with 8 dorado.

January 8
Trying their hand inshore for half the day, the guys from Michigan brought in 3 large roosterfish, and a mid-sized snapper before heading offshore to land 3 more sailfish and 2 more dorado.

I guess anglers from Michigan know how to read the moon charts!

January 10
Our friends from Washington were not us lucky with the moon. On a day which everyone in Quepos agreed was slow, our clients were able to raise 4 sails, landing 2, and 2 large dorado. They were also chasing Tuna in a pod of dolphin that must have numbered 500. It was a beautiful site to see.

January 14
Our clients from Toronto, left the cold weather behind and fished from sunny Quepos aboard the Estrella de Mar. Captain Jesus reports 14 sailfish raised with 9 caught and released. It was another great day for the Dorado. 7 Dorado were caught and released, two bull dorado in the 40 pound range among them.

January 19
Today's fishermen reported a great day aboard the Estrella de Mar. Seven sailfish were raised five of which were landed by our 4 anglers from Chicago. They also report a strong dorado bite, catching and releasing 4 dorado from 20 to 30 pounds.

January 21
The Bivens of Annapolis fished aboard the Estrella de Mar for a full day offshore. Captain Jesus report 6 Sailfish raised and a strong Tuna bite. At one point all three fishermen were fighting tuna. The final tally for the day was 4 Sails, 3 Dorado, and 2 tuna caught and released.

With the water temps at 80 degrees F, we are expecting more great fishing through the weekend and on into February.

We ended January with some of the best fishing ever seen in Quepos.
During our last five outings of the month, we raised 8 Marlin, 35 Sailfish, 7 big and hard fighting amberjack, more tuna and dorado than could be counted, and 3 Cubera Snapper.

The big story is the Marlin. For weeks all the Quepos Captains have been reporting Marlin with several boats including the Estrella de Mar reporting 2 and 3 catches per trip. All these Marlin haven't dampened the sailfish bite. Estrella de Mar is reporting 8 - 11 Sailfish raised on each outing.
