Gig,
I guess my numbers were off a little, but I only guessed "400-500" guys, because the chica's in Flamingo talk about the Michigan Boys all the time. When you guys come to town, it's like a National Holiday for these chicas. I remember when I tried to book a room (Sportsman's Suite w/jacuzzi) at the Flamingo Marina Resort a few months ago, I couldn't get one because everything was booked solid because the Michigan Boys were in town that week. Believe me, in Flamingo Beach, you guys are like an ICON. EVERYONE knows when the Michigan Boys are coming to town. Every once in a while, when a chica starts talking smack to me or one of my friends, she'll mention "the Michigan Boys" to try to make one of us jealous. I can only imagine what the SJ chicas are saying to each other about this upcoming Labor Day Weekend. Believe me, the chica 'hotline' is alive and well in CR.
That being said, I DID have a chance to party with some of the guys in your group, and (I don't remember their names) but they were all a great group of guys. They loved to fish, loved to drink, and loved the chica's (not necessarily in that order)!! But here's an experiment for you.....Next time you're in Flamingo, and you're snuggled up with some nice little kitten, mention the "Florida Boys" to her and watch her smile. We certainly don't have 160 guys going there at one time, but we're there often, every few weeks. Trust me, she'll know exactly who you're talkin about! As you've seen, there's not the selection of chica's in Amberes as there is in SJ, and I guarantee, that between myself, and all of mi amigos, we've touched each and every one of them! (at least twice each) !!!
As far as the casino at Amberes, I've never lost too much money in there, but I've never won a great deal of money either. I just like it in there because (besides the only place with Air Conditioning) I enjoy sitting at one of the tables with my chica, and giving her a few colones to play with.
It seems like, more often than not, the chica wins, and that always sets the mood for a better session afterwards. Plus, the farmacia is right across the street if you need any jimmies or vitamins. Johnny, the pharmacist, has always taken good care of us, whatever we need. I've had better, more consistent luck at the casino at the Flamingo Beach Resort, on the 2nd floor above the front desk. YMMV.
As far as boats, if you've fished with Richard (Gamefisher II) then you know he's a great charter. On one trip last year, we fished 3 days with Capt. Junior Busto on the Gamefisher II. Our weekend total was 4 Blue Marlin, 2 Striped Marlin, 40 - 50 Sails, Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado, Roosterfish, Cubera, etc. It was outstanding. That's one of the reasons we keep going back (besides the chica's)!
When are you guys making your next trip? Is it in April? Let me know. I'll probably be there anyway, but we'll sit and have a beer together, and tell lies about women and fishing........!
Take care,
Mikey B.
