Spring Break Frenzy - Day 1 - Quepos Grand Slam!!!


This week is our annual Spring Break at Casa Carolina. We have a house full of high school senior boys who love to fish! That's good because we are fishing 3 days this week on the Frenzy 43. We sure got off to a good start with a Quepos Grand Slam yesterday of yellowfin tuna, a huge wahoo and 4 sailfish. Those boys got the chance to see what a real "Frenzy" is when the yellowfin tuna started crashing the baits. After making quick work of them we boated 5 nice sized tunas and started thinking about dinner. They ended up being sashimi and titake at El Gran Escape restaurant in Quepos. Belton also made short work of the famous Raptor Burger!


Later on in the morning the left short rigger went off and after a 15 minute fight, Thomas had us dinner for tonight in the form of a 40 pound wahoo. Nice work Thomas!


The sailfish started chomping after the tuna's had mangled much of our bait rigs. We released a total of 4 sails for the day with yours truly going 2 for 2 on the circle hook rigs. Not bad for a flyfisherman, eh? So the guys got to see a lot of sea life with spinner and white bellied dolphins doing there thing balling bait. What a sight to see for sure.

Tonight at Casa Carolina we are grilling the wahoo at our weekly Costa Rican "typical" dinner. The wahoo will be expertly grilled by our gardener Saul while our housekeeper Lizbeth cooks some fabulous beans and rice along with a vegetable medley beyond compare!  Lizbeth made us a plate of hot wings this afternoon to enjoy by the pool while we watched the sun fall into the placid Pacific Ocean. Our manager Willy will orchestrate the whole evening and act as waiter and somellier all in one!
















The Spring Break Frenzy continues ...
