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 ...

Spring Break FRENZY 2009 - Day Eight

Well it has been a fun week with the kids. As we expected they all had a great time in Costa Rica. As the blog posts reported, they got to do the canopy tour, catch sailfish and roosterfish on the FRENZY, ride jetskis, eat Lizbeth's fabulous guacamole, see boas, monkeys and parrots at the house and, most importantly, hang out in the pool and just chill! This week shows what Costa Rica is all about, having fun enjoying the beautiful country. Sure I go to pursue my favorite sport, fishing, but it sure is fun to spend a day doing a canopy tour with my family and friends. There are just so many fun things to do that you just can't do them all in a week.

The best thing about the week is that Jenny and I survived a week with 12 teenagers!

The fishing continues to be good in Quepos. We have a few open days in April so give Willy a call 'cause the FRENZY continues ...
