A boat a day for Americana Sportfishing in 2005

Americana Sportfishing is proud that we average at least one boat in
the water every day of the year. We're creeping up on that figure
again for 2005; we're just a few days short.

Help put us over the top - if you have a couple of days to spare
before Xmas and want to enjoy some great fishing in Costa Rica, call me
now at our toll-frees - 1-866-888-6425, 1-800-634-0012 and
1-866-978-5198 - or e-mail me at the address found at
www.americanasportfishing.com. Autumn is a perfect time: marlin, sails,
tuna, dorado, wahoo, etc. on the Pacific coast, and tarpon and a
fabulous snook run coming soon on the Caribbean side.

We had some computer problems recently - we were unfortunately lumped
together with a bunch of scammers. Some things take longer to put right
in Costa Rica than elsewhere, so please excuse the delay.

I start out with my great repeat clients, the Marlin Brothers. Eleven
guys fished out of Los Sueños Marina in the Central Pacific September
5 and 6: half of them on the 42-foot Spanish Fly with Captain Daniel
Espinoza, the other half on the 36-foot Hoo's Your Daddy with Captain
Dana Thomas (don't get pedantic on me and point out that you can't
divide eleven by two without some sort of a fraction). Daniel's
anglers caught six sails on Day 1, and on Day 2 fishing insho tuna,
dorado and a lonesome sail that for some reason decided to get a closer
look at the land.

On a spectacular Day 1, Dana's guys started out first at the
legendary 'Veintiséis'. There they caught two wahoo, six small
yellowfin tuna and two dog-toothed tuna (small tuna with Piranha-like
teeth that make incredible sashimi). Moving on, they then bagged four
yellowfin tuna in the 40-lb range plus five more sails (highlighted by
a triple hook-up). Day 2 with Dana was spent inshore, and the guys
caught six big roosters but lost a huge dog-tooth snapper.

Fishing September 11 on the 46-foot CaribSea with Captain Melvin Mora
out of Quepos an hour to the south of Los Sueños, Gerry Haight and his
four buddies probably didn't do as well as they would have liked.
However, they still came back with two large sails on a very slow day
where none of the Quepos boats had anything to brag about.

A couple of months earlier we had introduced Gerry and his wife to the
fabulous Pacific ocean view properties we are helping to sell about 45
miles south of Quepos between Dominical and Palmar Sur:
www.oceanviewvistas.com (they bought, by the way).

Take a look at that website, and also at a beautiful condominium
project we represent: www.costaricaluxurycondos.com in Quepos. When you
come down on your next fishing trip, put aside a couple of days to
visit these great opportunities to buy property for a first or second
residence, for rental income, as an investment, or as a secure offshore
haven.

Matthew Corey and his wife spent a satisfying full day on the 30-foot
Tranquilo II with Captain Francisco Barrantes out of Quepos on
September 29, bagging a whole bunch of tuna. Then they went all across
the country to Tortuga Lodge on the Caribbean coast, where Captain
Eddie Brown hosted them October 4 on his 22-foot Bull Shark. The Coreys
got several tarpon hits before pulling a nice 100-pounder to the boat,
and also had a wahoo on the line but lost it.

Mark Jeroszko and three of his friends booked October 1-5 on the
38-foot Talking Fish out of Tamarindo in the North Pacific with Captain
Randy Wilson, who has been one of our top captains for many years.
Despite the winds and rain, they still went out for four and a half
days. Although the weather didn't cooperate much, the group managed
to hook a sail, several dorado of various sizes, a bunch of roosters
and other smaller species.

Repeat customer Steve Teague and three buddies fished a full day with
Daniel Espinoza on the Spanish Fly during a rare two-week span at the
beginning of October when the fishing was, for want of a more
descriptive word, lousy. Even so, the guys managed to bring a
nice-sized marlin and a dorado to the boat.

Lee McGill and Tenny Mount of Eagle Claw Hooks fished a day and a half
on the Tranquilo II and were rewarded not only with two huge roosters,
one weighing in at 58 pounds, but also with watching two adult and one
baby whale cavort, play and amuse the anglers for just over an hour as
they went further offshore.

Finally, one of the nicer stories of 2005: Mary Barba from New Jersey
conspired with us to put together a surprise week-long 50th birthday
fishing trip for her husband Lou. Right up to the very last minute Lou
Barba thought they were going to Florida to visit the out-laws. He only
smelled something 'fishy' when at the Continental check-in counter,
Mary brought out the passports - and then let him in on the surprise.
He was still wonderstruck when they arrived at Juan Santamaría airport
in San José.

May and Lou spent a full day offshore November 8 with Captain José
Asdrubal López on the 27-foot Salsa out of Tamarindo in the North
Pacific. After bringing in a couple of mid-sized tuna, Lou then latched
on to a monster 225-pounder which fought three of them (Lou, Mary and
the mate) fiercely for a little over an hour before surrendering. The
dog-tired Barbas came in a bit early, satisfied not only with the huge
birthday prize (which they kindly gave to the local people) but also
with some tasty tuna sashimi and then a tuna dinner courtesy of their
other two catches.

The top captains out of the Central Pacific marinas have fewer and
fewer open dates for the winter/spring sail bite, so if you're
considering a trip down here in January, February or March, call me now
- 1-866-888-6425, 1-800-634-0012 and 1-866-978-5198 - toll free
from the U.S. and Canada or e-mail me at the address found at
www.americanasportfishing.com. We'll put you on the top boat
available.

Why would you think it was unfortunate to be considered a spammer? This is
spam.

Yah, but. But. But. HIS stuff isn't SPAM, because it's HIS and he
knows he's a good guy helping us all out. These people who are so
used to lying to themselves that they start believing themselves
expect us to believe them, too. Fools.
