We had a great experience with Wired Fishing, even though we didn't catch anything this time. The captain and first mate worked hard the entire trip and truly did everything they could to put us on fish. They were attentive, professional, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. The boat was well run, the lunch was good, and they provided plenty of snacks, which was a nice touch. Even without a catch, we still enjoyed the experience and appreciated the effort and hospitality. I would definitely recommend Wired Fishing and would go out with them again.
We picked the windiest day of the year and still caught fish. We didn't have a flexible schedule, so had to fight a very windy day. After an hour or so a few miles off shore, we decided that the conditions were not safe and returned closer to shore. We caught 6 decent Mackerel Tuna in 6 hours, including 2 at 1 time. Hopefully our next trip will have favorable weather and we can try for other species. Captain Hector and his first mate worked hard for us, made shashimi and provided cold beer and sandwiches. We highly recommend for an authentic Costa Rican fishing experience.
Thank you to the entire Wired team! They were waiting for us right on time and had a cooler stocked with water bottles, juice, beer, and snacks for us to enjoy. It was a truly memorable day in your company. The fishing was exceptional thanks to our captain's experience—he knew exactly where the fish were. We caught several species! Outstanding service overall, with every fish cleaned and prepared by the crew directly on the boat. All that was left to do was bring it home and enjoy an unforgettable dinner! Thank you—highly recommend this fishing excursion.
We signed up for a full day. we only caught one fish, but what a fish! It was a yellowfin tuna, and was my personal best. It took almost 2.5 hrs to get it on the boat and weighed right at 150 pounds! I would say this trip isbest booked for a person looking to catch large fish like yellowfin tuna,marlin, or sailfish.The crew was GREAT, very accommodating and worked hard.
It was 5 of us and we all had a great time. We caught multiple fishes around 8 to 10. the crew had drinks for us in a cooler, water, beers, soda, snacks. they also cut fresh fruits, watermelon and pineapples.The crew was amazing and at the end, they filet the fishes for us. Definitely would recommend them to anyone.

We've been fishing for over 30 years. We've fished all over the Gulf Coast and now the Pacific Coast. Waco, our captain is a man of the sea. He needs no compass or GPS, of course, we have them, to find the fish. He's a natural-born Pacific fisherman.
