New 43 Express photo!


Here's a photo of the new 43 express "FRENZY" being built by Maverick Boat Works in Jaco, Costa Rica. It's still under the shed but it's starting to really take shape!

More photos to follow once the hull get's flipped over and it's moved into the bodega.

Fishing Report for the week




We'll folks the fantastic fishing continues in Quepos. This week has seen a lot of action on the FRENZY. Jenny Walker and her friends have caught a total of about 18 sails, seen a couple of whopper marlin and enjoyed 3 great days on the water with Jose and Marco. As usual, Willy has taken good care of the group by selecting great lunches and arranging other aspects of their trip.

Kent Lipton has fished a few days with us this week and has also done well. I don't have an exact catch report but I do know that he and his fishing buddy from South Carolina have caught sails and some nice dorado!

Kerwin and I arrive next Friday to prepare for the GIFT Tournament. Stay tuned, we plan to win this year!!!

I heard that Jenny and the girls landed six sailfish yesterday and had a marlin crash the baits!!!

I'm hoping the fishing just gets better as we head into tournament week in about 10 days!

We'll be posting our daily action from The Frenzy soon.

Presentation

Last night I did a presentation to the Puget Sound Fly Fishers in Tacoma Washington about Blue Water Fly Fishing in Costa Rica. It was very well received and I had a number of people come up to discuss making a trip on the Frenzy soon. I can't wait to see photos of the large marlin released by the Frenzy a couple of days ago. I hear it was 800 to 1000 lbs. I want to hear Marco when he tells the story. I'll be on the boat two weeks from tomorrow with Jamie as we get ready to win the Harry Gray Invitational Fly Tournament out of Quepos.

HUGE MARLIN CAUGHT --- 800 POUNDS PLUS!!!

Yesterday after about a 5 hour battle the FRENZY caught and released a blue marlin conservatively estimated at 800 pounds. Some on the boat were calling it a grander. We'll never know for sure because it was released but what a whopper!

Jose and Marco are on a roll this year with the marlin. They are really racking them up. I'll have to get the actual count but man what a year so far! Our other charter boat, the Moon Walker, is also catching their fairshare of marlin, sailfish and tuna. Rafa lost one yellowfin this week after a 4 hour fight. The look they got of the fish called it 300 lbs.

As I have been saying, 2009 is shaping up to be a great year for fishing. We have charter days on the boat available so contact Willy for reservations: willy@frenzysportfishing.com. Tell him you too want a whopper marlin or yellowfin, and mix a few sails in for the fun of it!

Kerwin and I will be back down there on the 24th for the GIFT Tournament so stay tuned for the daily results. Man I sure hope that we don't get a fly bite on a grander!

The Frenzy continues ...

New Years Eve Marlin Double Header!!!

Yesterday Jerry fished again but this time he took Kerwin's 12 year old daughter Olivia who over the past 10 days has caught a couple of sails on fly. Olivia ended their day by catching a 200+ pound blue marlin. Very notable for a 12 year old, but Olivia is already showing signs of becoming a great fisherman! 

Now what's also notable for the day is that Olivia's marlin crowned the day which had already included 2 sails, a small yellowfin and another blue marlin! The other marlin was caught by Jerry's wife Beth. Babs Benesh caught her first ever billfish. Nice work all around girls! Great way to end the year!!!

2009 looks to be a great year for fishing Quepos and our Frenzy Sportfishing team is looking forward to it. Hope to see you down here with us.

Now Kerwin we need a photo of Olivia's marlin...
