Captain
Elsa Alonso

Member since January 2021 Drake Bay, Costa Rica
Background
Captain Elsa was on a fishing trip in Costa Rica when she met Bryan, one of the best captains and angler she had ever met. They quickly became friends and decided to create their own sport fishing company. They love fishing because there are no two similar days on the water. They are always looking for something, such as a specific fish, or they just want to practice a specific fishing technique. But eventually, something happens. A fish they didn't expect, practicing a technique, a creature shows up from nowhere, and so on. Captains Elsa and Bryan don't have favorite species. Fighting a fish is what brings you excitement, and this is what they love: the feeling of fighting! Snapper and Tuna don't fight the same way, and neither does a Marlin. The captains like adjusting their gear and technique in order to optimize the feeling while fishing!
Techniques
We don't have any favorite techniques, and this is the beauty of fishing! Each technique, each fish, each 'Combo' (rod, reel, line, etc...) offer different sensations. We like diversifying a fishing session while changing our set-up and trying different techniques.
