SECOND
ANNUAL LOS
SUENOS MARLIN
INVITATIONAL
SEPARATES
THE MEN
FROM THE
BOYS
As is tradition
in Los Sueños,
the word
around the
docks just
before the
Second Annual
Los Sueños
Marlin Invitational
held out
of the Los
Sueños
Marina in
Costa Rica
November
18-21, 2009,
was that
there were
just no
fish to
be found.
The outlook
remained
grim after
DAY 1, given
that the
13 participating
teams, with
a total
of 45 anglers,
only managed
to hook
and release
27 billfish
(16 sails
and 11 marlin).
All that
really meant
to the tournament
participants
though going
into DAY
2 was that
they were
going to
have to
push their
fish finding
abilities
up to full
throttle
and make
up for lost
time! By
lines out
on DAY 3,
the fish
count reached
a respectable
148 billfish,
of which
123 were
sails and
25 were
marlin,
accounting
for 17%
of the total
releases.
