Capt. Francisco runs trips out of Tamarindo aboard a 27ft center console. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Red Snapper and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
