Offshore there have been a few sailfish around, and the boats have been raising between one to four per day, plus a few marlins. The tuna are also here, although they have been feeding on the small sardines and have been very selective, ignoring everything but the three-inch-long sardines.  It is hard to believe that this pelagic predator could be so particular. But like a trout on a mayfly hatch, tuna sometimes get on the single available abundant bait, and that’s all they want to eat. But once this small bait moves on, the tuna will go back to their healthy gluttonous nature. 

I had a great vacation, and it is always fun to get away, but there is something magical about the Osa Peninsula. We had a productive and enjoyable ICAST, and I am looking forward to putting many of the new products, from some great outdoor companies, on our boats for the 2019/20 season.
