2005 Fishing Report
Greetings from Osa Sport Fishing,
Well, January
has been here and gone, and the fishing here on the Osa was Fantastic!
We've had a very busy season so far, and the fish have been co-operating
greatly.
We have been
seeing 15to 20 Sailfish every day, and the
Marlin bite has been really hot! Almost every day someone here
has landed a Marlin in this area. Most of them have been running 250
to 350 lbs.
It has not
been uncommon to see two Sails and a Blue up in the pattern ripping
through the teasers! We were getting a little concerned that the Yellowfin
Tuna were not going to come here this year. We did not see
them until about two weeks ago. Then one day, just like that, they started
showing their pretty little heads. Last week we landed one that
weighed in at 120 lb. Thank you Tuna Gods!
The
Spinner Dolphins, and the birds are back in action and it looks
like another great month ahead.
Oddly enough,
we are just now starting to dry out here. The rains continued until
about one week ago. That is very unusual for this area. But as a result,
we have been still seeing LOTS of Large Dorados in the area.
They run anywhere from 20 to 45 lbs. Now that the rains have slowed
down, we will be seeing less of them, but it has been a great run for
us.
Wahoo
have been all over the place. They have been running between 20 to 50
lbs. They are one of the "choice prizes" sought after. They
taste fantastic. They've been really active offshore since December.
One day two
weeks ago, I was up in the tuna tower 8 miles offhshore, and
I saw a Roosterfish crash through the pattern and hit three of our teasers.
He looked to be about 25 lbs! I thought I imagined him on the
first strike, but then he came up two more times right away. He had
to be lost! 8 miles offshore??? That was very odd!
The bottom
line is, you just never know what you are going to see out there. And
speaking of seeing things out there, we have been seeing lots
of whales this month. Pilot whales, and humpbacks mostly.
That is always a pleasure. Also LOTs and LOTS of Spinner Dolphins!
It has been
a really nice month on the water. The seas have been calm and lots of
action. We hope February. and March bring more of the same.
Until
next time, Keep your lines tight and the Wasabi close!
