That little stretch of Manuel Antonio has a lot of really good places to eat. Agua Azul around the corner is probably our favorite and also has a great view. Cafe Milagro across the street has no view but great coffee and food. Just down the road Victoria’s is good and a half mile further back towards Quepos are Mangata and Quepoa. In fact we are headed to Mangata today and it’s our current favorite place to eat. Peruvian food with a Tico twist. We are spending about 6 months a year down here and starting next year it will be around 8 months a year. If it wasn’t for football season and family in Texas and the heavy rains in the fall here we would probably live here year round.

We pretty much always stop there for drinks when we are passing by. Always enjoy the monkey show. That whole area south of Dominical to Uvita and especially Ojochal has a bunch of great restaurants. The best ones require reservations days and sometimes weeks in advance but it’s worth it if you can plan ahead.

Ok but after Harvey here in Port Aransas really the only way to contact FEMA was to go get in line for an hour or two at the Community Center. Calling them for an update? Hahaha. This is nothing new.

That child’s mom was widowed a few months ago and her brother died this year also.

And Houston, and San Antonio and . . . I’m pretty sure most every poster here is going to have some kind of connection. I already directly know one of the parents of the missing kids and my mom knows 2. Indirectly know a bunch more.

That would be Josh Garcia. Bay guide. Book him for sure if he’s available and if not he can give you some other suggestions. He’s a Longhorn, funny guy, and one of the best fisherman around. A good private charter for offshore is going to run you upwards of 3500, otherwise you can always book a headboat out of Deep Sea Headquarters or Dolphin Docks but you will have 40+ other people with you.

I’m tempted to cover your expenses just to see where this is going. -

Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
justhookit replied to Mac8111's topic in Hobbies
We hold over 1500 gallons of diesel and have a water maker that can make about 80 gallons of water an hour so the boat is self sufficient. Depending on what we are doing we can stay offshore for a week or more on our own if we want to but most of our overnight trips are 2-4 nights. When we do overnight trips we spend the night on the boat and either drift or slowly chug to a new spot. it’s too deep to anchor. Either way there is always someone awake on the bridge watching the radar and other electronics/equipment. All that said the vast majority of the time we do day trips leaving at dawn and back to the dock before dark. -

Regarding the reel discussion, I can only crank right handed on conventional and left handed on a spinning reel. If I do it any other way I look and feel like a regard. -

We are currently about 70 miles offshore of Pavones and 140 from Jaco. In the winter we are fishing much closer in - between 15-50 miles. First stop this morning was a bust so we are moving about 15 miles right now. -

Long version. Not sure we will ever top this one. This fish tail walked more than I’ve ever seen. -

Just pulled lines in for the day. Ended with 5 blue marlin and 5 sailfish. Raised 5 more blues missed 3 and 2 didn’t bite. Going to move a little further offshore overnight to fish a different set of FADs tomorrow. Short drone clip- vert blue peggy.mov -

Just lost a 500+ lb blue. That’s huge for out here. Bite has slowed down some since this morning we are 4/6 on blues and 2/2 on sails. Still waiting on my buddy to download his drone footage but he’s too busy pounding beers. -

We just got the best drone footage we’ve ever had. Show off blue. Posting soon. It doesn’t suck being able to do this in one of the top fishing marinas in the world.
