Fishing Herradura 

Not many boats out today. We fished offshore all day with little success trolling for the big fish we were hoping for.we caught 4 black tuna. One was bog and the rest were pretty small Beautiful weather. Boat was immaculate and David was very friendly and always busy. Captain Randy asked if we minded bottom fishing for a while so we could catch some fish. We pulled a 20+ pound yellow tail tuna, 2 nice grouper and 2 tile fish. Since we now had plenty of meat, we decided to try for some game fish. David cut up a delicious plate of fresh caught tuna. We didn't have any more luck so headed in. Awesome day. Awesome of Randy to at least put some fish in the boat. Great crew to enjoy a day on the water with.

We booked an all day trip with Captain Randy and 1st mate David. They were fabulous! Captain Randy was very interactive with us as most captains that we've gone out with before on different trips rarely even spoke to us! Their friendliness, knowledge, and work effort gave us a great trip. We caught 6 yelllow fin tuna in the morning, and in the afternoon, very briefly hooked a sailfish but it got away quickly, and we almost had a mahi mahi in the boat but at the last second it spit the hook out. Randy had a great musical playlist which was wonderful to listen to. I was confused about the meeting area but just go to Playa Herradura and you'll see the huge sign for water taxi. At the shoreline tell the water taxis you're fishing with Randy or Los Cielos and they'll take you right out to his boat. 1st mate David made fresh ceviche for us, plenty of cold water, sodas, and beer (if you like), great pineapple snack and sandwiches for lunch. There was a sun shade on the boat along with a toilet. 1st mate David filleted our catch and bagged it up for us. We got off the boat and took it to Coco's restaurant right in the beach and they cooked it up for us! Delicious! We will definately book with Captain Randy again!

I've been fishing several times but never had this much success (and fun!) catching fish. Once we got out to depth, we were consistently on fish, sometimes with two reels at the same time. In the end, We caught several mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna, and a couple of trophy sized snappers. One was about 40 lbs and the other was 25 or so. We even hooked a shark that was at least 100 lbs and fought with it for 45 minutes be fore it broke the reel just as we got it right up along side the boat. The captain that day (no Randy) and First mate David worked their tails off and were really cool to talk to. I appreciate them making this our best fishing experience

We are from Alaska and fish a lot. so coming to Costa Rica this was new. Randy and his Deckhand David got us on fish right away. 2 sailfish hooked but we didnt get them to the boat. Sure was cool to see them jump though. Them we found huge schools of Yellow Fin Tuna. Fish on. Man do they fight. David kept us busy swapping lures to keep the bite going. We are taking home more fish than we ever expected. If we come back to this area again, we will definitley be fishing with Randy again. We had an amazing time.

Captain Randy and his crew were friendly, professional and the best at what they do! We had a great time on their clean and comfortable boat! They were determined to make our entire trip successful and fun and they achieved that and then some! They took the utmost care in catching and cleaning the fish and were cautious when releasing the ones we couldn't keep. Lunch was simple and delicious, too! Some of the fish we caught on our 5 hour trip were Mahi Mahi (various sizes), Spanish Mackerel, Sailfish, Black Tuna.
