From the Crocodile Bay Lodge, Puerto Jiménez
by Todd Staley, Fishing Director
Fishing has been a little tough lately but for those with a little patience the pay day has come. Jeff Carpenter had a slow day out of box and scored a big rooster on day two. On day three he invited his lady luck in the form of wife Donna along for the ride.
A couple sails had come unbuttoned and got away and a third didn't care for the bait when the saw some small tuna working. They caught a couple for sushi and put one on for bait and in no time a 300 pound blue marlin gulped it up and turned the ocean into a dance floor.
"It's just like you see on TV," Jeff repeated at the bar several times as he re-lived the fight.The sails have moved back in with most angler getting four to six shots a day with a marlin popping up here and there. Little tuna are in rat packs and a couple roosters over 50 lbs hit the rails this week.
