Captain
Josรฉ Miranda

Member since August 2019 Puerto Jimรฉnez, Costa Rica
Background
Jose has over 15 years of experience fishing the local waters. Two years ago he decided to turn his hobby into a profession and start guiding trips and showing guests how beautiful and rewarding of an experience the local fishing grounds can provide. Jose speaks very basic English, but when he has English-speaking customers he hires a guide that speaks English fluently. The favorite part of his job is seeing customers get the fish they've been targeting for a long time.
Techniques
Trolling, casting, jigging, anchoring. We use live bait and a variety of lures.
