Member since July 2019 Coco, Costa Rica
Background
"I've spent all my life living in the ocean or near it, surfing and fishing are my passions." Captain Miguel has been fishing for 6 years, exploring many places in the country and in Panama. He is from the south, but has been living in Playa del Coco for almost 4 years. He participated in his first local tournament in 2018. He and the first mate speak English and Spanish, so you'll be in safe hands when you embark on an adventure with them!
Techniques
We like to use trolling and spinning style and use bait and rapalas. Normally we go 15 miles out for good spots around rocks formation in different directions. South is good for sailfish and yellowfin tuna. And north side is for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Roosterfish.
