  1. No idea. I’d guess it’s because of Covid. Everyone down here struggled. The marina had 3 restaurants leave but they’ve all been replaced. The real bummer is Sancho’s up in Manuel Antonio closed. The guy is still running the Paddle9 tour business so I hope they reopen at some point. A friend of ours that owns a couple of pizza places would like to open it back up for him so we will see.
  2. Stay in Los Suenos. 99% of Jaco is riff raff and junky. And you are a 15-20 dollar cab ride to Jaco for people that want to party.
  3. So the girls tournament, Pescadora https://pescadora22.catchstat.com, was Friday and Saturday. Fishing has slowed down a little but Friday I fished on a 70 foot Weaver named Southern Pride and we caught 1 blue and 5 sails which was good enough for 5th place on the day out of 40 boats. Beautiful boat with a 34 knot slow cruise. Saturday I fished on the boat Fish Tank 65 foot custom Hatteras and we caught 2 blues and 6 sails which was 1st place for the day and won all the daily jackpots. This video is one of the mates in the “jacuzzi” live well. im in Jaco now to fish a couple of days in Los Suenos on a 74 foot Spencer. https://www.marlinmag.com/spencer-74-smooth-move-pictures/ I’ll post some pics of that here or on the boat thread.

  4. The Marriott in Los Suenos is a nice property and has a golf course. There are a few really good restaurants there in the marina. You would also be a 10 minute cab ride to Jaco which is the party town and also has a ton of good restaurants.
  5. Yeah but also you can pay an extra 40 dollars for a fake negative test. I’m not letting anyone stick that thing up my nose.
  6. The W is supposedly amazing, but it’s up north and I’ve never been. I’m fishing this morning but I’ll reply when I get in this evening or tomorrow. My first thought is look into a condo or house.
  7. We’re gonna need to drill some holes for the rod holders, but that’ll work.
  8. Um, we use 60 or 80 pound leader for 500 pound blue marlin. WTF?
  9. What midtown said. as of NOW before you fly in you, and everyone with you, will need to fill out the CR Health Pass form online. That will give you a QR code that you show when you enter the country. It’s easy. Whatever airline you are flying should email you the info on how to do that but if not I think we discussed it upthread or just ask me here. Pretty sure you can only do that within 72 hours of your departure. ‘Going home and again as of now, you’ll need a negative test. Whatever hotel you are staying at will hook you up with that.
  10. Yeah that would be true. Honestly the fishing part is probably due more to the locals, but China has pumped so much money into this country they basically run it.
  11. We never bottom fish here but I’m afraid the commercial fishermen have basically decimated the snapper and grouper population here. I know some guys that do well but that’s the exception. Awesome on the whales, we haven’t seen any yet this trip.
  12. https://www.facebook.com/tejasredfishcharters/ Josh Garcia. Longhorn, great fisherman and funny as hell. Tell him PortAfino John and Cindy sent you the rec. If he’s not available he will get you pointed in the right direction.
  13. Only a couple of minutes maybe 5. It crushed our teaser and ignored our small baits so we pitched our marlin bait to it on a 50wide. That’s a baby maybe 175-225 pounds. Quick fight, quick release. Then go get some more fish.
  14. Another day fishing CR, another 14 sails and a blue marlin. Tons of dorado again too. IMG_0233.MOV
  15. It was about 2 minutes from my house and 5 minutes from my high school and we ate there a ton for off campus lunch. It was pretty good back in the late 80’s. Haven’t been there since. That’s all I’ve got.
  16. All I know is I ordered a “taco chino” in a restaurant here in CR a few nights ago and they brought me a fucking egg roll. It was bullshit. Also I haven’t watched a single second of these Olympics which makes me sad because I used to care and watch all I could.
  17. How’s the trip going? we were thinking about going to los suenos and Jaco this week but put it off until the 20th.
  18. I’ve fished with Judge and your brother and we didn’t catch much. I’m blaming them.
  19. 18 mas Pez velas today but no mas marlin. The only one we raised today was blind or regarded, absolutely crashed a short rigger bait but completely missed then paddled back and crashed it again. Missed again and faded off. I’m like dude, you’ve got one job. Didnt take much in the way of videos today but here’s a short sailfish clip IMG_0230.MOV
  20. For you three blowboat friends of mine. 2 more sailboats just got to the marina but I picture Bruin just like the last one and hanging on for dear life.
  21. Immamac finally got me out of posting jail. Fishing again tomorrow early so I’ll get some more posted in a day or 2 but here’s a marlin from last trip. IMG_0225.MOV
  22. Man I love you as a poster and I know you aren’t saying it, but Beard is not losing to Abilene Christian in the tournament. Ever.
  23. That. Was. Awesome. Most fun I’ve had watching a game in so long. Fishing early in the morning so no time to rep everyone.
  24. I’ve been treefiddy for a long time. I had a change in cards so that might be it. I’ll fix that. Why it would renew Burnt Ends but not that I don’t know. Thanks. And come to CR - not the Cloak Room CR.
