Sport Fishing Report for May 2006


From the Crocodile Bay Lodge, Puerto Jiménez

by Todd Staley, Fishing Director

We had a big run on Yellowfin tuna this week with schools hanging in the area most of the week. Eight anglers from the Miami Billfish tournament were down and connected with tuna from 30 lbs to over 200 lbs and had a bonus of a 500 lb blue marlin. Several marlin have made a showing this week. I guess they are in munching on the tuna.

Eric Pirie had a group of friends from New Jersey with him that combined inshore fishing with surfing. They hit the jackpot at Matapalo Rock one morning with 4 roosterfish over 50 lbs with the largest going 65 lbs.
