Somewhere in Nicaragua
Well, it seems that we are settling into our typical October wind pattern – Onshore! It’s times like these when we look to other activities to keep us from going insane. Fortunately for us, the crew from Surfari Charters threw us a bone earlier this week and took NSR on a special charter to SUBU land. While we are under a strict confidentiality agreement on the exact location, we did receive permission to post some of the photos. Check it out!
We came out swinging and started catching fish almost immediately. After about an hour, we had a cooler full of nice Mackerel. At 7:30am Mr. Brown brought in the first Wahoo and in keeping with the Va Pue tradition, we also cracked open our first Tonas. Here is Mr. Brown and Jimbo posing with our future fish tacos.
With Gorgeous George and Jimbo running the show, we were always on the fish. Here’s Mr. Brown and GG adding some diversity to the cactch with a nice Roosterfish.
With 5 lines in the water, double and triple hookups were not uncommon. This is Brown and I, on two Wahoo and trying not to get our lines tangled.
Oh yeah Mr. Brown – mine looks a little bigger than yours! The final count read something like this: 4 Wahoo, 11 Mackerel, 1 Roosterfish, 2 Jacks. Yes, the forearms were sore. Big ups to Surfari Charters for the invite. You guys kill it! It’s no wonder you win all the fishing tournaments. Special thanks also to Erin at EBOSurfPhotos for sending us the shots!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hi, this is Roberto with the surf report for today. It’s chest high on sets and the wind is offshore. Everybody took the longboards out. Check it out.
You know it’s bad when the best waves in the country are happening in the Bay of San Juan Del Sur. Onshore conditions are still here, along with some good swell. If only it would stop raining and storming and…oh well, we can’t complain. Here is Samir, getting in some turns.
