Too expand on the fishing
Well I was all geared up, hadn't really done any ocean fishing. Mostly tended the boat when I was a kid for my step-dad while he scuba dived. I had a great time, all though it was a little warm at times. Any way we left the dock at Sierpe, Costa Rica at a little after seven am. Headed down the Sierpe river to the Boca (which is the mouth of the river) to the open sea. It was low tide, therefore there were breakers to go through. I was very pleased with the captain (there are only three in the boat including the captain). He held back exercised patience, obviously he was watching the swell, and figured when to go through, it was absolutely amazing right through no rough water smooth. It was a beautiful day, calm almost like glass. Marc caught a fish in the first five minutes off the rocks, not a good eating fish, but the tradition is to always keep the first one. I caught the next one, and it went back in for another day. Not much luck around the rocks, so headed over to a GPS location caught five more fish about two to five miles from Cano Isle. Great just being out there. Called it a day around three pm and headed back in. On the way back up the river went through really close quarters in the Mangroves, it's a short cut. I was really glad some one knew the way. Fresh fish for diner that nite.
