    Great Trip

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 4 adults

    We had a great time fishing with Gunslinger Sportfishing. The captain and his deckhand were very frendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable and haveing fun the entire time. The boat and all the equipment were top notch. We had a tough start as we tried to get a Rooster fish as it was not a good time of year for them, but we gave it a shot anyway. We landed a Bonito and Needle fish. Then we moved offshore and did some trolling. We caught another Bonito and a nice Mahi Mai. After that we went to do some bottom fishing and caught quiet a few Snapper, Grouper, and a couple I cannot remember the name of. We had a blast and brought back more than enough fish to feed our entire group that night. I would definitely recommend Kendall with Gunslinger Sportfishing to anyone looking to have a fun day of fishing Quepos.

    creating lifelong memories with the Gunslinger crew

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    What an amazing experience with the Gunslinger crew, you can tell they are true professionals. Within 10 minutes they had us feeling like we were family which made us feel at ease and made the day so much more fun. They were extremley patient and showed us how they rig up equipment and the bait we were using and why. We fished offshore and absolutey smashed them. Fish on within 20 minutes and it didn't stop until we decided we were done for the day. You guys are the best in the game and we are lucky to have found you. We will definitely be back to fish with the Gunslinger crew again. Goodwork guys.

    Unforgetable trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore • 2 adults

    Truly a once in a lifetime trip! we had a amzing time fishing for Mahi and Tuna! Kendall and Eric were super nice and it is fun for anglers of all skill levels! the only slight thing I would say is that when the cushion kept sliding off the cooler it was a bit annoying but other than that it was a fantastic experience that we would definitely do again!

    I recommend these guys

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 4 adults

    Kendall and Mochi are experienced professionals and a good team. They worked very hard to provide a good experience for me and my family and were super patient with us. We caught 8 very big Jacks and had many others get right ip to the boat before they broke the line etc. We had some bad weather but they did their very best to make it a successful trip. We had a good time on the boat getting to know these guys and I would recommend their charter.

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)

    We had an amazing day fishing. The boat was spotless and you could tell they really cared about every detail. The captain made us feel included and helped make the whole experience even more enjoyable. They also provided drinks and fresh seasonal fruit, which was a really nice touch. Customer service was exceptional from start to finish. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend this experience!

    We were able to catch Amber Jack, red striper and rooster fish. Then he went out of his way to try and find a whale for us to see, but no luck! we had plenty of drinks and fresh pineapple. He even let us extend our tour for a couple hours because we were having so much fun. Kendall and Andre were a great captain and crew!

What's biting with Gunslinger Sportfishing in Quepos

The rain finally drops off in November, making heading offshore more feasible. As always, you'll be met by a great mixed group of pelagic species, including Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Marlin.
