Roosterfish Video

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

This will be my last post from Los Suenos, Costa Rica.  As I noted in an earlier post on Thursday we had a great trip on Roosterfish.  George Brookins from Lincolnton, N.C., my father Austin, and brother Alex, joined me on the “Fandago” a 31′ sportfisher.  We headed North out of Los Suenos about 10 miles to fish some rocks in shallow water.  Once we arrived at the spot, there were acres of Bluerunners, a great sign that the fishing was going to be on fire.  It didn’t take long to hook up our first Rooster.  Over the course of the next two hours we didn’t go more than 15 minutes without a strike, catching 6 Roosters and several other species of Jack’s.

This is not the first time that we’ve fished on the Fandago, with Captain Thomas, and he never fails to put us on some world class fishing.  If you interested in coming down to Los Suenos, feel free to contact me and i’ll make sure your connected with this great crew.  Our flight leaves at 1:00 P.M. Sunday, and God willing i’ll be at Holden Beach on Monday ready to get back on the Twister.

My brother Alex has made a great video of the Rooster fishing on the “Fandago”.  The video is around 9 minutes long, so sit down and be ready for great action.

Sorry I haven’t been posting about our trip to Los Suenos located in Playa Herradura, Costa Rica, but we’ve been having such a great time its hard to sit down at the computer.  So far we’ve fished two days, Tuesday and Thursday.  On Tuesday we fished on the “Marlin Muyer” a 48′ Custom Sportfisher.  We were targeting Sailfish and the Captain warned us that it was probably going to be a slow day.  We ended up the day catching 3 sails, missing 6 or 7 other fish.  The mate on board was very experienced, but was just having one of those days.  The guys decided that this was a ladies day because we were fishing later on in the week, and let them catch all the fish. 

Today we fished a 31 foot sportfisher for Roosterfish, Snapper, and Grouper.  In the morning the Roosters were biting like bulldogs and went 6 for 6 with my brother Alex catching a nice 50″ fish around 40 pounds.  The Snappers and Groupers didn’t cooperate as well, but the AJ’s were willing to bite everything.  I’m going to post several pictures from the fishing over the past two days.  We’ve got some great video, but are in the process of condencing it down to small clips that will be interesting to watch.  Stay tuned for more great pictures and videos in the coming days. 

If you still want to go fishing back at Holden Beach feel free to shoot me an email or give my cell phone a call. Capt. Ryan Williams will take your call and make sure you get a date secured for some great fishing.
