3 Boats on the water on a beautiful Sunday out of Los Sueños Marina. 60 MEGABITE (60' Bertran) had a large group with the on-board chef and fun day at Tortuga Island. Also out was LOS SUENOS with Captain Dean Jacobs and First Mate Tesi with their clients Jose Guzman and party and SWEET DREAMS with Captain Rudy and First Mate Esteban. Jeremy Ball was here for a couple of days with some friends and clients and had a good day catching 12 grouper for some great eating. The billfish catch has slowed some over the past few days but hopefully will pick up. Most billfish caught this time of year are "resident" fish that stay here year round and don't migrate.....and it seems like they are bigger on the average! |
| August 24, 2011 |
Nice mild temps as usual as SWEET DREAMS and Captain Rudy and Mate Esteban go out with James Wade and friends for a fun day with 2 sailfish and 12 grouper!! Mr. Wade is here from Texas on his boats where he and his wife brought it down and living aboard for awhile.
Hurricane back east is not affecting us. Nice thing about Costa Rica is that we are NOT in a hurricane area. We sometimes get some rains and winds from them but they don't generally hit this part of Central America. Good luck to all those along the east coast this weekend! |
| August 22, 2011 |

Well, the last few days has been slow for billfishing but still good action for bottom fish like grouper and big red snapper. A few days ago three boats out hit a run of yellowfin tuna and came back with 58 total!
Several restaurants here in the Los Sueños area will cook up your catch! Bambu is here in the Marina Village and does an OUTSTANDING job preparing your catch 3 different ways for a very reasonable price. We recommend you drop off your catch when you get off the boat and make a reservation for later. They will prepare the fish ahead of time and have it all ready to cook when you arrive for your reservation. Great sushi too!
The weather has been unbelievably nice the last several week with mild temperature....no rain.....and very calm seas from 1-3 feet. A beautiful "winter" for us (especially when we hear about the high temperatures in the States!) |
| July 27, 2011 |
Once again...I'm going to leave that picture of Captain Dean "Deano" Jacobs up on here for a few days because it's just too cool 1975 Cabo and marlin over 800 lbs.

Los Suenos has had 3 BEAUTIFUL days of weather with the sun out, wind & seas calm and very moderate temperatures. What a GREAT place to be this time of year when it's in he 100's across many parts of the States!! Come on down and check it out! |
| July 16, 2011 |
ROOSTER FISH!! 5 big ones yesterday on a 1/2 day of in-shore fishing with the "Easter" party from Dallas, TX! These are a blast to catch.....lots of action (but not good eating so we release them). They are a member of the "jack" family and fight like crazy. They are caught close to shorelines around rocks with live bait and jigs. Makes a great mount. (fiberglass reproduction by Gray's Taxidermy.)
Temperatures still very nice here in Los Sueños with mostly cloudy skies and rain at night. Seas are a little higher right now with a west wind but the forecast is for calmer seas and party cloudy skies later today! This time of year is nice for fishing as it's cooler without the heat of the sun! |
| July 15, 2011 |
Yesterday we had the Pittman party aboard our 32'Custom Mako WETT RYDER. A big blue marlin committed suicide! After being hooked and brought close to the boat by the clients and Captain Hansen, the fish charged and hit the boat! (He lost the fight!). They also landed a nice tuna for the table!
Earlier in the year a big marlin charged FANDANGO, punching a hole in the hull into the engine room almost sinking the boat before the crew realized what had happened! Big marlin are TOUGH!! (and fun to catch!)
The fishing is pretty darn good right now. It's getting into the rainy season and mostly cloudy making for nice cool temperatures and pleasant fishing! Some unbelievable SUMMER SPECIALS right now with $300/night off on a fishing package but only for a limited number of condos. Booking up fast so if you are interested, give us a call now. |
| July 13, 2011 |
STRIPED MARLIN AND SAILFISH for SWEET DREAMS (our 35' Cabo Los Suenos Special Edition). Captain Rudy took Diego Mendez and friends out for a short 1/2 day trip and the fish were everywhere. With only 1-1/2 hours in the fishing grounds, they boated these 2 and saw many more!
Our 1/2 day trips leave the marina at 7:30 and come back around noon....with 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours each way getting to the fishing grounds...that leave only about 1-1/2 0 2 hours of trolling time but they got 'er done!!
The weather has been overcast with rain only at night the past week. A bit windy but nice cool temps. We LOVE this time of year!! |
| July 12, 2011 |
Three "DREAMS" boats out today. LOS SUENOS with Captain Dean Jacobs aboard found 2 nice tuna and 2 big grouper. Dropped them off at BAMBU to prepare for the clients for dinner tonight!
DREAM MAKER - 35' Cabo Express was out and landed one sail in the boat after a long fight.
SWEET DREAMS - 35' Cabo Express "Los Suenos Special Edition" was out with Captain Rudy with clients Jean Dupre and had a nice day raising 3 sails boating 1 and 1 nice tuna for dinner.
Weather is wet and windy right now with fairly strong winds out of the west and solid overcast with evening rains.
Talk to you tomorrow! |
| July 11, 2011 |
A couple of boats out today. DREAM MAKER/SWEET DREAMS had a day of catching some grouper doing a little bottom fishing. The weather turned a bit sour with high winds rain. The rainy season is here and several days now of rain and overcast. The billfish have dissappeared for the last couple of days but the tuna have been pretty good along with a stop on the way out at our favorite "hole"....about 350-400' deep full of big red snapper and grouper....makes for a fun day and good eating.
This time of year is our "slow season"....not so much for the fishing as for the tourist! Fishing here stays pretty good all year round for sailfish. During this time.....we send out a few select boats and park a couple of the others. So because you might read about "Rudy and Sweet Dreams".....and not much about Dreams II, DREAM MAKER, etc., it isn't because they aren't catching fish...it's because we put everyone on just a couple of boat during this slow time.
So come on down.....the "eating" is good right now. |
| July 10, 2011 |
2 Boats out yesterday. Our 50' Hatteras "HATTADREAMS" and old client Troy Wayne were out doing some bottom fish and brought back 9 big grouper and 6 tilefish for some good eating and a fun day on the waters.

WOW!!! The weekend going into the Easter or "Holy Week" is a great one! It was like fishing in paradise. We had a total of 41 sailfish, 14 mahi mahi caught today as well as one boat that went inshore fishing and caught 2 nice rooster fish and 1 big red snapper... Our best boat was the 50 foot Haterras called HATTADREAM with Captain Dean Jacobs.... raised 21 fish and boated 12 sailfish and couple of Mahi mahi. WETT RYDER hooked a HUGE marlin and the client wore out and had to let it go!!! What a puss! (just kidding! They will tire you out!!) The clients where happy and with sore arms... the other boats had an average of 6 sailfish and couple of mahi mahi...fishing is still in calm waters and beautiful sunny weather...
We had a great SUNSET CRUISE TOUR last night 20 people on board HATTADREAMS with our Sushi Chef onboard for an unbelievably beautiful sunset into the Pacific Ocean.

David was practicing "setting the hook" himself with the difficult to learn "Circle Hooks"...and lost 3...so that would have made 15! Karen even jumped in the water and SWAM with one of her sails! "WETT RYDER" ....our 32' Mako Custom boated 10 sails themselves as well as a 40 POUND WAHOO!! "DREAMS II"...our 32' Luhrs just spent a few hours going to Tortuga Island for "Fun and Sun" but stopped at some rocks and caught a nice Rooster Fish! So yet another great day in sunny Los Suenos! |
