Overnight Trip 2 days 1 night ? ?

Apr 30, 2023 Herradura

We started in the morning, went out for Tuna, then was at the Sea Mounts all night catching Squid and Trichiurus lepturus (Sable Fish), at the morning live bait (bonito) and played with Blue Marlin and SailFish. Then get back. Great trip, not luxurious one, but if you are professional angler and love love a low cost trip using small boat, this it's it.

Mahi and Wahoo

Jul 15, 2022 Herradura

Full moon makes hard and slow days, but Wahoo bites sometimes ???

Blue Marlin, Sail, Reds and Snow Grouper

Jul 21, 2021 Herradura

A dad/son day wasn't goes better. First got some for dinner at 450 feed deep (no chicken), then Sailfish for the kid, we was great with barely 12 years old. After release the trophy was a blue Marlin on the line for the father. 1 hour and so of batle. Finaled everyone got back at the end of day with a happy and deadly face.

Sails and groupers are hot

Jun 8, 2021 Herradura

Sail bite raised up in the zone, book your full day with us and let's go offshore for billfish and if love fresh fish for dinner we can deep drop for bottom fishing ? and get some great groupers and snappers.

Some 450ft fishing

Dec 17, 2020 Herradura

Spending some time with 450ft bottom fishing ? Snowy Groupers, Sea Bass, and more delicious ?. Let's try the best of Costa Rica Pacific fishing!

Tuna time

Nov 30, 2020 Herradura

Tuna schools are getting frenzy, fishing with hundreds of spinner dolphins ? give great time. Sails and Marlin can be catch around, so let's go fishing ?

The captain and crew are absolutely awesome. The bite was slow at first but they did everything that they could to get us on fish at the end of the day we ended up with two mahi-mahi and a nice tuna. I would recommend this trip.

Went out and had really tough day. I don’t like to give less than great reviews because I know this is peoples livelihood, but some decisions made kept fish from getting in the boat. The young girl that works on this boat is a machine and worked her ass off but really felt like the captain and other mate were not knowledgeable about the fishery. Went to one spot he claimed he didn’t like 1hour and a half out and then picked up In a few minutes and traveled another hour to a new spot. Claiming... More

Hi John, we talked with the crew in your trip, we knew fishing was slow but the worst part it’s when see other boats reeling and you don’t. You are right about few mistakes, timing and how to deal with green water spots, so next time they will work different.Thanks for your feedback!

Andres and Alex are awesome!! Conditions were not ideal the day we went out (high winds with a lot of chop). Andres, the Captain, is conservative and does not push any safety limits. He and Alex are very personable and made this a very enjoyable outing (in spite of the weather). We had a great time and caught a couple of Spanish Mackerel. Can’t wait to go out with them again!!!

Hello! Thanks for a great day, I know that time was rough and you definitely are great, not all fishermen “survived” like you at this kind of waves and wind. Your 75’s old men know how to deal with that and you must feel pride. Hope see you again in summer! Thanks again and sorry to cancel the second day trip because the storm.
