Tip&Trick Description 1:
We have been using a Power Drop Shot technique that you may have heard of, and it works great in Heavy Cover, and around docks and wood in rivers and lakes. We just rig a heavy weight of 3/8 to 3/4 of an ounce, and then tie on the bait, such as a Yamamoto 'IKA' tube about 10 inches up the line on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, and flip and pitch it right in the same way as a jig or other bait. It stays there longer and has more action. Deadly on in-active fish.

Report Description:
Just thought these pics were interesting enough to post. This yacht was run aground the day prior to me taking the photogs. As we approached we witnessed 5 commercial panga style boats fleeing the scene with the loot that they had been stripping/salvaging from the wreck. Apparently maritime law allows this to take place legally if the boat is abandoned as this one had been even though this was a fresh accident? They should have left someone with the vessel to keep guard. What a shame!
This was in Costa Rica on the Pacific side way to the North only about 12 miles from the Nicaraguan boarder. The ship ran aground on the Southern most Island of the Bat Island chain (Isla Piedra Negra is the Island just outside Bahia Potrero Grande). I wonder if the owner ever got it off the rocks?? It was 2 days before Thanksgiving of this year 2002.
We continued on up to the 'Bats' and had fantastic action on the Roosters catching and releasing nine 30-40 lb. bruisers in two hours. Lost about another half dozen to the rocks. We were slow trolling live bridled 'Look Downs' for bait and they are really nice hearty baits that swim great in the pattern. They are very shiny putting off a lot of flash when being trolled and the Roosters seem to think they are candy. We were running one off the starboard rigger on the surface and one off of a Z-wing planner off the port corner. Our success rate was pretty close to 50/50 between the two positions with maybe a slight advantage coming from the baits being run on the surface.
The Papagayo winds were absolutely snorting making running offshore not an option this day. That's OK because the Rooster fishing on the inside was as good as it gets!
