Had a fantastic three days of fishing in Los Suenos.
Of the 5 boats we chartered I have to give props to the #1 boat of the fleet
Bethina
Capt Glen runs a great show. He ran to the fish period end of story. A lot of the charter boats limit themselves to a certain amount of fuel burned, miles, etc.
Glen left early and ran hard. We saw a lot fish when other boats that weren't willing to burn were limited to what was available at the closer points
He had no limits on time or effort
We saw average 20 sailfish and released average 9 per day. some on some very light tackle.
all of his gear is tops (new alutecnos)
his walkaround boat gave us the chance to pitch to more fish and it paid off
What a pleasure it was to have you guys on Team Bethina. It is always refreshing to have `reel` fishermen on my boat. When I saw u guys coming to boat w/ 6# tackle, I knew u guys were hard core. Sorry about last day maintence problem. Ahh but u got to get on `Tuna Bite`. Told u he was as good as me. (jk, Howard) as to Alutecnos, yesterday had a sail at release, made last jump, bill hits my 30# wide in gunnel and `poof` into the dark abyss. Chalk one up to the fishes.
See you next year, Steve..via Josh
I am glad you had the chance to have the "Bethina" experience! We are proud to have Capt. Glen and his 1st class mates Min & Russ, as the Top producing boat in our fleet.
The passion that these guys put into every trip is unmatched in the business, and our guests have always enjoyed the extra efforts that Capt. Glen and his top crew put forward every time they leave the dock!
It is always a challenge to convey to folks through email and over the phone why Bethina is 1st in our batting order of the top producing boats in our fleet, but reports like yours give folks a pretty good first-hand idea as to what they are in for.
To all others viwing this post, if you are planning a trip to Costa Rica's Fishing Capital, Los Suenos, and are looking for the opportunity to fish with the X-Treme Billfish Team aboard Bethina, contact me and I'll get you on board with Capt. Glen and crew for a fishing trip you won't soon forget!
