Hunter's Roosterfish

My friend Philip just return from Quepos and filed this report on his inshore day with his son Hunter who caught a nice roosterfish.

"Thanks to Jamie and Willie for helping us put together a great family vacation to Costa Rica. Your recommendations allowed us to make the most of our time. Special Thanks to Marco and Beatle Juice for a short but sweet inshore fishing trip on July 30th. The day started out pretty choppy and after boating a couple of needle fish and watching a group of Humpback Whales, my wife and daughter were not feeling so well so we took them back to the dock and let them return to the comfort of the Si Como No Hotel. My son, Hunter and I were determined to catch a Rooster so we decided to tough it out. We were able to make it back out just as the tide was turning and as Marco predicted we were rewarded with a couple of nice Rooster Fish. The first one was small and we managed to get it to the boat in short order. The second fish started off without much of a fight so Hunter and I sat in the chair to bring him in. Things changed quickly and 20 minutes later the fish had gotten the best of Hunter and a thunderstorm had found us as well. Hunter decided to become the photographer and I fought the fish for another 25 minutes before he finally gave up."

The high season of December through April is filling up so make your plans now to enjoy some of the best fishing that Costa Rica has to offer.

The Frenzy continues...
