Member since August 2020 Quepos, Costa Rica
Background
I've been born and raised in the area, so fishing is in my blood. I've always loved the boats and dreamed of having my own one day. That wish finally came true in 2012, when I started my own charter business.

I prefer the live bait for a beatifull rooster
