OutCast - 27’ Dusky in Tamarindo
+12On the Pacific coast of Costa Rica since the 1970s, Randy Wilson pioneered sportfishing in this area with Tamarindo Sportfishing. Located close to the deep water, Tamarindo is the perfect base of operation. Spectacular year-round fishing for Sailfish, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Wahoo, and assorted other inshore species are all accessible with a short run time. Spend your day fishing, not running to where the fish are!
The OutCast is our 27’ Dusky with fast twin 250 HP Cummins engines. Her wide 11’ beam makes her very roomy and comfortable for up to 4 anglers. There is plenty of shaded seating, a tower, a spacious cockpit, a fighting chair, and full electronics. Tackle is all Penn International and Shimano.
Captain Javier Ruiz has been fishing these waters since the 1990s. His passion for fishing is contagious! Together with mate Isaac Mena, he will work hard to put you on the fish. Both speak English and are experienced and knowledgeable.
We are happy to accommodate experienced anglers as well as families and novices of all ages.
Conservation of the resource is important, and we use techniques to make sure the billfish are released unharmed. With edible fish, the crew is happy to keep your catch filleted and on ice for the day so you can have it cooked at one of Tamarindo’s many superb restaurants. We look forward to taking you fishing!

Great fullday trip
Full Day Trip on December 15, 2023
We booked a full day trip on the Outcast. Captain and mate were great, always trying new things if the fish weren’t biting for a little bit. We ended up with 8 mahi, 2 blue marlin bites and a sailfish bite that unfortunately didn’t make it to the boat but were still really cool to see and experience. Mate Issac clearly loves his job, he might’ve been even more upset than us after losing the second marlin. Overall great day. No shortage of hard work onboard to get us what we wanted. Absolutely booking again next time.

The ount of bites could have been better, but that was beyond the control of the captain and crew. The continually tried different things. In the end we landed one blue around 140 and lost a larger one. Great day. Thank you Alberto and Javier

I'm Randy Wilson and I grew up in Miami, started fishing as a kid. Fished and surfed all through high school and college. I moved to Costa Rica in 1974. Experienced the incredible fishing here and developed my charter business. I ran the Talking Fish for over 30 years and stepped off the boat (and out of the sun) in November of 2023. I now operate and manage our two boats with experienced local bilingual captains and mates. After fishing here for 40+ years, I am still excited about sharing the experience with anglers from all over the world and giving them the trip of a lifetime! Our 38' Topaz TALKING FISH is captained by Arturo Rosales. Our 27' Dusky OUTCAST is captained by Javier Ruiz.
