I have been leaving in Costa Rica for more than 2 years and so far I hadn’t hooked a rooster fish, a symbolic fish I wanted to catch, if possible a nice one… I decided to go with Bahia Rica Adventure and all was great ! Captain Thomas and his crew now their spots and it didn’t take long after we put the live bait behind the boat to get a strike ! Rooster was on, and not a small one ! The popping and jigging was excellent too with lots of jacks and snappers in that so beautiful landscape around Negritos and Tortuga islands. Already thinking about going back as soon as possible !

Excellent guide
Definitely the most knowledge captain that I have fished with in CR
Takes it seriously and delivers with fish
I have fished extensively and had a lot of fun learning about the the area and techniques Used
And my kids and I had a blast
My youngest son that is 12 was worn out reeling in fish I had a great time laughing at him moaning each time we hooked a fish and I would tell him to Get on a rod
After we left he said man dad those fish pull way to hard my arms are sore
Great time

If you are new to this kind of gamefish (or an experienced angler), this is where you book your trip. The livingquarters, food and drink, general service is top notch. But when it comes to the fishing words cant really describe it. The knowledge in these waters from Cpt. Jones and his crew is unquestionable, popper, jigging, stickbaits or fish with baitfish? He does it all, and the cew helps you out with everything, or if you want to be hands on yourself you can do that as well. The variation of species are big, and there are some big monsters swimming around those reefs! In 8 days, me and my friend got almost 30 roosters, Well over a 100 jacks, needlefish, bonitos, yeah you name it. The Cubera is tricky, but when they come they are usually big! And you are most likley to encounter some epic wildlife as well. I am for sure going back!

Love love love Bahia Rica Fishing and Kayak Lodge!! The captain and his mates are very knowledgeable and entertaining.  Beautiful boat - Top notch gear - great fishing spots - I’ve caught many different species of fish inshore on the Mono Congo.  My favourite is top water.  I love the action of the Jacks when they smack the popper!  I definitely recommend booking a trip with Bahia Rica. I am a repeat customer.

If you are ever near the Paquero area, you owe it to yourself to spend a day or two with Thomas. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and a phenomenal angler. As someone who bass fishes competitively, Thomas helped me and my wife build upon our fishing knowledge and shared wonderful tricks and techniques!  I can’t wait to go again!!
