Offshore fishing with G.D Mega Bite is a must in Costa Rica! Captain Michael Ponce Sosa and his professional crew have years of experience in the area and they are ready to assist you every step of the way. Whether you choose to reel in your first big game fish offshore or want to chase tasty inshore species – these are the people you want by your side.

Their 36’ Bertram is a luxurious sportfishing boat which will take you fishing in comfort and style. Powered by twin Yanmar engines, this vessel has the total strength of an astonishing 1,000 HP that will grant you more time to catch the fish of your dreams. Aside from safety and navigational equipment, this boat also has air conditioned, modern lounge areas and a clean private bathroom. A high Definition GoPro camera is there to capture the most exciting moments, so you can proudly share them with your friends.

Captain Michael offers both inshore and offshore trips. Inshore trips are close to the beach and you are most likely to catch Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle. The real treat of inshore fishing is Snook. Not only it will keep up a strenuous and exciting fight, it is also one of the most delicious fish in the world.

Offshore trips are reserved for trophy specimens and trolling. There is nothing more exciting than when a Sailfish or Marlin starts biting! You don’t have to be a pro to start feeling like one.

The first mate will clean, fillet, and bag your catch, and after the trip you can take it to any nearby restaurant and they will prepare it for you. Please take Costa Rica’s regulations into consideration, since some fish species have to be released for preservation. The crew will also prepare snacks and drinks before the trip.

With G.D Mega Bite fishing is fun, comfortable, and easy. Book your trip with them and get ready for some serious action!

Michael has been a captain for 19 years. He had a lot of different jobs before he became a captain, but nothing comes even close to fishing. He loves when people squeal and have fun, when they are excited for catching a big fish.
