A marlin for my pal Bobby!


My good friend Bobby from NYC is staying at Casa Carolina this week and decided that he would go fishing on the Frenzy 43. Before he left the dock Monday he told Willy that all he really wanted was a marlin, but that some other fish would be good too! Now most folks say that jokingly but I have know Bobby for 25 years and Bobby wanted a marlin. So Capt. Jose took Bobby out to the Furuno for some live bait fishing. After Marco caught and rigged some live bonito Jose slow trolled the baits out to some deeper water.

Not too much later a nice 250 pound blue marlin granted Bobby's wish by eating one of the bonito. Bobby is a pretty good angler so he managed to bring the marlin to the Frenzy in short order. A nice way to start the day. Pretty work Bobby!

After the release Marco tossed the baits from the tuna tubes back in the water and Jose started the slow trolling routine again. A little while later a sailfish comes calling and rewarded Bobby with a nice pacific sailfish. By this time Bobby is saying to Jose and Marco, "Hey what else you got swimming out here?" Jose finds a school of yellowfin tuna and Bobby proceeds to catch 6. Just enough for fresh sashimi by the Casa Carolina pool and a nice fillet for dinner. The rest was enjoyed by Jose and Marco and their families.

By now Bobby is thinking that he's hot stuff so Jose has Marco rig some bottom rigs and puts Bobby on a huge amberjack! They are not called "reef donkeys" for nothing! That slowed Bobby down a bit for sure! But Bobby manages a comeback and catches a nice pargo (snapper) to finish the day.

Back to the pool at Casa Carolina in time to enjoy another beautiful Costa Rica sunset. So Bobby are you going back to NYC or do you want to quit that nice stockbroker job you have and come work for Frenzy Sportfishing? We would love to have you anytime!

See you soon my good friend. And hey, thanks for the photo.

The Frenzy continues...
