    No Fish Leads to Great Day

    4 Hour – Inshore Trip on July 22, 2026 • 7 adults • 1 child

    We had a family of 7 for our trip. Captain and crew did their level best to try and catch fish. We only caught one. I might note that we only booked half day trip, so we only stayed near shore. I fish quite a bit off the Texas coast and this crew was excellent. While it was a tough day catching, the crew was very knowledgeable and we learned quite a bit on history and geography of Costa Rica. I would book them again if I travel here again.

The crew of Fish Tale 2 operates out of Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica, aboard a 35' Cabo Sportfisher. These waters are known for Mahi-Mahi, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Snapper, and many other species. Whether you're bottom fishing, trolling, or spinning, the experienced crew will show you how to target them.

    Great Day on the Fish Tale 2 out of Marina Flamingo, Guanacaste Costa Rica. Hard fishing, but the crew got it done with 3 for 3 on the sailfish, 1 wahoo that tore the lure just about clean in half, and a marlin that raised, but just wouldn't eat.

    Great day with our guests from Texas! The goal was to mount a Sailfish, we did that twice. Both PB's for both guest, and off to Grays for the mount! The Mahi are starting to arrive back in, and the Marlin are starting to peak their heads out as well.... The bite is about to be on FIRE!!!!!! Come Catch your Tails, on Fish Tale 2.

    Great day on the water hunting for Sailfish for the clients. Landed 2 by noon, switched over to jigging bottom, nailed a cooler full of grouper and 2 snapper. Great tails on the Fish Tale 2.
