Bucket List Sportfishing

Member since December 2020 Quepos, Costa Rica
Background
I grew up on the water back in Florida, where I took a love to fishing at a very young age. In 2000 I began fishing professionally, where I continued on and off until moving full time to Costa Rica in 2017. My plan was to move here and do what I love full time and fish among some of the best fisherman in the world. I couldn’t think of a better place to follow my dream. Costa Rica is exceptional in all aspects of fishing, be it inshore or offshore. I feel very fortunate to have ended up where I have and there’s nothing more that I enjoy than sharing that same experience with other people.
