Wet Season means Sailfish!

Our winter, or rainy season, is a great time for fishing in Costa Rica. The afternoon rains cool things off for the next morning and the limbs that wash out to sea attract Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and Sailfish. This half day trip with Paul we caught this gorgeous Sailfish, weighing in about 120 lbs. These fish are strictly catch-and-release, but we made sure to record the catch. Check out the video to see Paul reel in this beauty!

A Family with Great Young Anglers

Apr 5, 2018 Coco
The Ryan family approached me, wanting to book a full day of fishing. Their young boys are avid fishermen, and they impressed me with their puffed out chests and stories of other fish they've caught. Even though they're experienced, we made sure to have the light reels on board to set up the boys with the perfect gear for them. It was a tough morning, not many bites or fish on the reel. We came back in closer to shore and spotted and group of birds circling over a school of Tuna and Pacific Jack Crevalle. The whole family fished the rest of the day, eventually catching-and-releasing 15 Tuna and Jack! It was a great day and the boys had great attitudes, reeling in as many if not more than their parents. Sportfishing is a great family activity. You can relax and have fun together in between catches. We have a retractable roof for shade and make sure that you have everything you need to make the best experience possible. Check out the gallery below for pictures of one of the fights to reel in a Pacific Jack Crevalle. Pura Vida and Fish On!

The Tale of Dennis and the Dorado
The Tale of Dennis and the Dorado
Mar 11, 2018 Coco
Dennis joined us for an afternoon of sport fishing last week. Things started slowly, and were worried that we weren't going to catch anything. But the crew worked hard to set all the lines right and get him to the fishing spot. Just as we were about to head in, we landed 5 mahi mahi within a span of 30 minutes! The prize catch was this 45 lb. bull dorado. It put up a huge fight, using it's prominent head to plane in the water and jump, trying to get free. But Dennis won the fight and we got the fish on the boat. We then stayed out a bit to watch a really beautiful sunset on the water. By the time we pulled into Ocotal bay, first mate Ever has the mahi filets prepared, and we were able to set Dennis up at local restaurant Father Rooster with a great dinner of Mahi Mahi three ways - grilled, blackened, and breaded as fish and chips. It was an awesome afternoon and we can't wait to have Dennis on board with us again. See below for a gallery of the rest of the photos of the day! Pura Vida!
