July 8 Wow, Wow, Wow, Fishing here in Quepos has been great. I came down this week in the hopes of landing my 2010 Marlin. Wells Folks wishes can come true. As we headed offshore on Thursday morning with Capt. Franklin at the helm, his plan after fishing the 26 two days before felt that the bite might be a bit further South. We headed to the Furuno to fish for live bait and bottom fish at an undisclosed point there. This is where the action started! All the lines started going first on was Randall with a beautiful Amberjack followed up with another Amberjack for Leanne, Sam followed with a Red Snapper, followed by a blue runner then 2 more Amberjacks, 2 Roosters another Snapper and Blue Runner, I gotta tell ya, there was so much going on, we had such fun and it was only 10 am we headed out a bit to 35 miles offshore when we had a estimated 700 lb Black Marlin on the bait, however he broke off. I say that my three favorite words are the captain yelling the magic words MARLIN! MARLIN! MARLIN! and just as Dempsey 1st mate handed me a sandwich around lunchtime those Magic words came bellowing down from above, This was it, I was in the chair as this magnificent Blue Marlin danced across the water. It was 28 minutes to get him close when he shot out of the water just 8 meters from the boat. Talk about a breathtaking moment as he boasted his Mad Marlin Face and incredible colors. Total of 30 minutes to the Leader for the release of the 300 lb. Blue Marlin. As I am still running on the adrenaline rush we followed this by the release of another 2 Sailfish. Really an incredible day
Total numbers for day 4 Amberjacks, 2 Red Snapper, 2 Blue Runners, 2 Roosterfish, 2 Sailfish and 2 Marlin Raised and 1 Release.

Jeff Bara who fished one of our 33' Sportfishers released 2 Sailfish and had 3 big Dorado. He was really pleased with the crew.
Our 33' Bodacious departed Los Suenos this morning at 0600. The mothership departed at 0700 bound for Bahia Carrillo 60 miles up the coast, to meet up with Bodacious after fishing north. Capt. Chris put the baits in 30 miles due south of Carrillo on the 1,000 fathom line. They had 1 stripe and 1 blue in the pattern, but could not convert. They went 1 for 5 on the sailfish. Colby released a nice 120 pound sail. They kept 4 dorado and released 2 more. The weather was a bit bumpy, but fishable. Not a bad first day. Our other Game Boat, Jana Lynn caught 2 Blue's, both around 300 pounds very near the area Bodacious fished. I believe the plan for tomorrow will be to fish the same area.
