  1. Yup, life on the water does not suck. Was out there yesterday and already itching to go again even though the fishing has been crap the last few days.
  2. Cool we can grill and watch the game at my place.
  3. Ha. That is someone I know in Port A holding it.
  4. As far as I’m concerned that is WAY out of town. So see you at Shortys.
  5. Welp, we got a lot of dorado sandwiches. Found a great debris line with logs but the water color was awful, sort of a murky green. Could have filled the boat with 5 pound dorado but there was nothing else there. I think the biggest one we caught was about 10 pounds. Finally found bluish water at the end of the day and went 2/2 on sails. Fun time with good friends.
  6. You can also lease your mineral rights. You need a good landman in that area to tell you what’s going on. You don’t need an attorney, yet. With 100 people involved, good luck.
  7. Something to get us fired up about before fishing. . . . I never sleep well before the night we fish. Hopefully see something like this a few times.
  8. Please tell me it wasn’t at Margaritaville 😂. That property was completely out of place. Flamingo is awesome and likely (unfortunately?) getting ready to explode. We are back in Quepos now probably for the rest of the trip. Plan on doing some fishing here and golf at Los Suenos once a week for the rest of our time here. Plan is to head home a few days before the Alabama game so we can get to Austin but if the weather stays this good might stay longer.
  9. Been in CR for 3 weeks now without fishing but headed out tomorrow. Marlin fishing out 100ish miles has been really good - my friend recently went 33-49 or something on blue marlin over 3 days - but this trip wasn’t to do that so we will go out about 25 miles and hope for dorado for dinner and some sailfish mixed in. Tuna have been at about 40 miles lately unfortunately. Might get lucky and find a marlin or 2. Going to be looking for color changes or floating logs. No matter what it will be great to get back on the water fishing for the first time since April.
  10. I should be back in Port A in October so let me know when you are there and we can go grab a beer at Shortys. Weekdays should still be fine, it’s the weekends in the off-season that are just brutal now and I don’t think that will ever get better. Summer is miserable 24/7.
  11. They started serving it at midnight or 2 am at the MLK location when I was in school in the early 90’s, maybe everywhere I don’t know. But it was like $2.75 and it was glorious after a night on 6th street. Extra order of tortillas and load up at the salsa bar and I was good for 2 meals.
  12. A few other posters here are like me - privileged to have eaten at the original TC for years in San Antonio at Hildebrand and San Pedro.It was amazing fast food. I cut myself off from most of it by the mid 90’s, but the eggs Mexicana breakfast was still a solid choice for years after that.
  13. Easy for me. An aggy take on a Texas board. but you aren’t wrong.
  14. Flamingo. New marina. Whitish sand beach. It’s drier up here and in Tamarindo (they are about 20 minutes apart) compared to MA and Quepos and points further south and way, way less animal life and fishing not nearly as good. Overall I’ve enjoyed it and would come back but I prefer the central and southern Pacific. 1 more day here and then back to Quepos on Monday.
  15. Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo the last few days. Tamarindo was iffy at first but growing on me. See the attached pictures from there, might as well have been at a Four Seasons in the states. Looks the same. Loved Flamingo it’s more our laid back speed and great beach.
  16. Yes, that’s it. It’s a 9 hole course right now. Greens are in great shape but the fairways are a little bare. We played lift and place. Beautiful holes right in the middle of the rain forest. It went into bankruptcy but they had/have plans for 18 holes and a pretty sizable development.
  17. There’s another expansion under construction at SJO right now but after that yeah it’s a gate issue most likely. There’s just nowhere left to put anything else, much less another runway. And during high season earlier this year I talked to a lot of people that waited over 3 hours in that immigration line. The marina hotel won’t be that large - the lot they are building on is tiny - so yeah it’ll mostly be for fishing people or other tourists that want to be down here at the marina. Quepos doesn’t have any nice hotels so it will be very successful. We’ve been waiting on this since they built the marina.
  18. Anyway while we are waiting on the idiot to answer questions on the other thread. Plans are in the works for a new international airport at Orotina. I don’t have any inside info on that one but I am guessing it’s because they are out of real estate to expand at SJO. The marina here in Quepos is finally building a hotel. Much needed. The most interesting news is an international airport somewhere between Uvita and Drake Bay. If that happens it’s going to open up the entire southern Pacific region to tourism. Their real estate prices already seem high in that area but they might be getting ready to go way up. Everything here is on Tico time so no telling when any of that might happen.
  19. Wait your cousin was fishing the billfish tourneys in Quepos? What boat? I fished them all season this past winter.
  20. Yes, CR is completely ruined. That’s a great fucking take. I assume you where in Los Suenos and I’d agree with you on that. I hate that place. Might as well be in Florida. The growth explosion is a good thing for those other areas and besides they can’t ruin where I am in Quepos. I like hanging with the locals here and there is no room to grow in the main part of town. I like Baja ok but I prefer it here with all the different climates.Here’s how I have spent my last few days: 1. 2 hour drive from the Quepos marina to just south of Uvita to play golf at Osa Golf Course. There were 2 other groups there and a dog. Stayed in a great 2 bedroom condo overlooking the mountains and rain forest and ocean view for 150 a night. That price includes golf for 2 people. Did this for 2 days. Including the great restaurants we went to both nights we were there, I maybe saw 50 people on that weekend trip. 2. Drove from the golf course to a small coffee and fruit plantation in the mountains 1500 feet above Dominical. Place is owned by a friend who has a main house, 4 cabins,and an open air chef’s kitchen with seating for about 20 people. Amazing views and wildlife on property. Went to a local bar a mile down the dirt road for beers and pizza one night but other than that didn’t see a single other person. 3. Back to the marina, cold drinks and good food at one of the restaurants here last night. Back to the boat for a few more beers and listen to the rain while we fall asleep. In the next few days we will take the boat out fishing literally the best billfish waters on the planet and also catch some dorado and tuna to eat. So yeah Costa Rica sucks and is ruined and I hate it.
  21. I’ll put up a lengthy post when I get time on the Costa Rica thread but this place is on the verge of exploding again. We’re traveling almost the entire Pacific coast this trip and you can see it coming in the next 5 years or so assuming the economy doesn’t tank. 2 new major airports are in the works with one of them down south of Uvita. That’s going to be huge - major game changer for that area.
  22. Spent the last 2 days just south of Uvita. 2 bedroom condo for 150 a night and all you can eat golf included in the price. Really cool place. Friend owns a coffee plantation about halfway back to Quepos so we are headed there to stay in his cabins this evening.
  23. The “evidence” that she vapes is not coming from Russia you dumb fuck. Slowly this time, she likely had it, Russia was likely watching her, she should not be charged with large scale transport of drugs or whatever the charge is. She is likely guilty of breaking Russian laws. We should help her. Im in a foreign country right now and trust me I don’t do anything that might get me in trouble with their legal system.
