What anglers said about fishing in Costa Rica

Wear sandals as most (maybe even all) charters go off the beach so you will have too jump on a little bout to get a ride to your boat. San screen is the must! Tell Captain about your goal (specific fish you want to catch if there is one)

5.0 / 5

If they offer to go out an hour early, I would take them up on that. Fishing was better and water was calmer
