Pescando Dos

On Christmas eve day, Ryan, Zane, Ryan's brother Kevin and I woke early and motored out fishing with our guide Gerardo Kosonoy.

The sunrise was spectacular, but our day of fishing was much less than anticipated. We caught the usual mess of Bonita, but never felt the tug of a keeper fish the entire day.

The day was not a loss, however. Kevin reeled in three Bonita caught on a triple rigged line. This was something I have never seen before and was very exciting for everyone.

Kevin and his triple catch!

During the day we were surrounded by marine life of all kinds. We watched whales jumping and rolling all around the mainland points. I was able to get some photos of their tails, which is always a great reward.

Just after noon, Gerardo took us around the point past the grounded container ship to the long beach called Playa De Coco. There we pulled our lines in the surf break along the shore looking for roosterfish. As we moved along, Gerardo spotted a huge manta ray cruising along the shore. We were able to follow it and get some photos and video as it glided along in the clear blue waters. It was amazing and this turned out to be the highlight of our day on the water.
