Islamorada offshore captain Carlos Jimenez gave us the lowdown on how he fishes the deep wrecks in the Middle and Upper keys. One of his favorite tactics when sending bait down on a deep wreck is to do the stop-and-drop. This technique gives you a shot at cruising pelagics, even the toothy ones, and your favorite bottom denizens. It can be used on deep wrecks anywhere.

Clients today were excited to get out as 1 of them had never caught a billfish before, and as we circulated on the marina fuel dock and were hearing the bad reports yesterday, knowing that the full moon was last night saying that the other Captains spirits were low was an understatement.

The Marlin bite still continues here in Quepos, Costa Rica with most of the boats collecting 3-5 Sails in a day and some are getting lucky enough to still get a chance to play with a Marlin.

Great day to be on the water, with the moon the way it is we were expecting a great bite today, if wasn't real great but there was some great catches in it. The totals were 1 for 3 on Sails and a perfect 1 for 1 on Mahi.

What a great day on the water, being 100% on hook ups always makes the day go quick that’s for sure. The fish count for the day was 3 for 3 on Sailfish and 2 for 2 on Mahi-Mahi. With the moon the cycle it is in we knew we could get the fish to the boat, Bertrams raise fish and when your crew follows up with a 100% hook up rate!!!
