Mitchman, if you wouldn't mind passing on the contact info for Captain Jesus, that would be great. Might try to get a day on the boat. When you were there did you hit Marieta island?? Wife wants to do a trip, not sure if we want to hit hidden beach or not. still doing research. Thanks, Tony

I saved the article way back when. I actually built the rod 15-20 years ago, ended up giving it away since it sat in the rack unused for the past 10 years. It was a fun rod to fish. The Montauk Eel Rod.pdf

I've used PP and Suffix in the past. But that was about 15 years ago.

I've taken 4-5 rods in a Plano Airliner. It's a little smaller than the bazuka. I swapped the pins out for bolts ans lock nuts.

I tried the 20# SuperPower braid on a fluke set up. I didn't like it. I don't remember why, its been a few years. I took it off after one or 2 uses.

Our last trip to the Osa was in 2017. We flew into Puerto Jimenez, rented a vehicle and drove to Drake Bay. It wasn't a terrible drive, slow, bumpy, lots of hills, but I was fine with it. I did overhear other people complaining about the drive, but I thought it was fine, definitely more challenging than what is considered normal in the states. If I remember correctly there were 4 river crossings. The first 3 weren't much, that last one was much more than I expected. The agent at the rental car told me how to take the crossing, but I wasn't 100% on the instructions so I pulled off to the side for a few minutes and looked it over. Fortunately a dirt bike came down the road. I watched him get about 1/3 of the way across, saw how high the water was on his tires and followed his trail/wake, LOL.

Dec 4 2006, remember the date because it was my birthday. I get a call from a friend and tells me to get to the beach, huge blitz. I'm at work, my boss pulls in I tell him about the call. He says isn't today your birthday? Good Luck. I run home grab my stuff which I had put away for the year. I get to the beach at 10 am I drive about half a mile and pull up to one end of the blitzing fish. Caught a few blues, the blitz went West. I stayed where I was until 5pm and had fish pretty much every cast. My friend who was fishing elsewhere, pulled up around 1pm and stayed until the end. All keepers a few over the 40" limit which back then was the bonus fish. Biggest was about 30-35#. I couldn't even guess how many fish I caught. All caught on Swim Shads, bucktails and Large Danny Plugs. Until that day I had never caught a fish on the swim shads (though I didn't fish them much) I used every one I had with me. I went back the next morning, had a few keeper sized fish, then BOOM it was over. It was like someone flipped a switch. Funny side note. On my way home I called my wife and she asked what I wanted to do for my birthday dinner. I said I'll grab some chinese food, big birthday dinner, LOL. I picked up the food drove back to the house, and I'm sitting in the driveway when my phone rings and my wife asks where I am. I said I'm in the driveway, I stiffened up and can't get out of the truck, give me a few minutes, LOL.
