Deep Drop Fishing in Quepos Costa Rica
Nobody really does deep dropping here in Quepos, so i thought we'd be the first ones to try and man we had some pristine fishing. Every drop was something, if we sent down three hooks, we had three fish, amazing day out here deep drop fishing! These were all caught at around 400 ft (I know this isn't super deep dropping) but there are just a ton of rocks I always marked and knew there were fish down there. We are going to ramp up the bait size on the next couple of deep drop trips and i bet soon we'll start seeing the 100+ pound groupers. Right now we are fishing a simple 3 drop chicken rig with dead squid, these guys said they just wanted action. We filled the cooler getting a couple of grouper from each spot of the 50sh spots that I have marked while I was billfishing! These were all done on my 28 foot panga at around 18 miles out (that trip runs 600 a day). Great deep drop fishing, I WISH MORE PEOLE ASKED FOR IT, lots of fun nailing the big ones here in Quepos Costa Rica!!!

I know Col from Karratha, and after his Rooster and other Porto Rico fish the man pretty much raved about it. Was jealous as anything.

Thank you for the report
Looking forward to the next deep drop report when you start using some big baits, there could be a few real good surprises coming up
