Dave UngerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Guide
4 Hours Trip (PM) on February 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Salomón was great. My son and I came here for an afternoon/evening trip just to get out and enjoy the local fishing...our Captain did that and more. He speaks fantastic english if your spanish is as poor as mine and tends rods as needed. We started out with casting towards shore and deadfall for about 2.5hrs, then trolled for ~1.5hrs and about 30mins of jigging to wrap the night up. For an extra fee he brought us some delicious local sandwiches with fries, snacks and a few drinks. If you're looking for a lake Arenal guide I would definitely recomend him, and if we're ever back in the area we will checking if he is still guiding! Muchas Gracias Captain!

Great time on Lake Arenal
4 Hours Trip (PM) on December 26, 2025 • 1 adultHad an amazing afternoon fishing with Solomon. Came very close to catching a few Machaca, but they are very tricky to land. There were fish to be caught but it just wasn’t my day. The boat and gear was all great. Highly recommend.

Misho Rusev5.06 hour trip with Salomon
4 Hours Trip (AM) on May 16, 2025I had an amazing experience with Salomon! We moved around until we found where the fish were feeding and after that it was game on! I landed 6 guapote and 8 machaca inluding lots of missed bites. It was very fast and exciting fishing. Salomon gave me tips, helped me land the fish and took some great pics and vids for me that he sent me later! I wasn't able to get an uber from el castillo back to la fortuna where I was staying and he quickly arranged for a friend of his to drive me back! Amazing service all around! I would highly reccomend his services!

captain salomon was very nice and fun to talk to, and tried his best to get us out in good weather. The guapote always hit hard regardless of size, and we caught 2 species of them. We also had the privelege of seeing toucans from the boat.
Solamon is an excellent fisherman and guide! I think we caught six fish, three of which we kept and had prepared by a local soda that Solamon arranged for us. This fishing trip was the highlight of my 12 yr old son's vacation. Highly recommend!
Solomon was great and a joy to have as a guide.
Caught one nice Machaca and we lost plenty of fish, seemed like a day whete the fish were just a little slow. Captain was great, would recommend.

Your captain
El Castillo, Alajuela, Costa Rica
I've lived near the Arenal lake all my life. Since I was a child, I enjoyed fishing with my brother on the shores of the beautiful Lake Arenal. I'm a local and know the lake very well. I fish approximately four to five times a week and am very familiar with the fishing spots that will provide you with the best fishing experience in the area. I like to share time with the people who love fishing. We can make new friends and share fishing experiences on this trip
