Fresh Costa Rica Fishing Reports

When the ocean pays its debts with interest. The sea has a curious way of testing us. Yesterday he gave us a lesson in silence: we were in the heart of a massive tuna patch that simply decided not to open its mouth, and a Sail Fish that escaped us in the last breath. But in Mathis Fishing Legends, we know that yesterday's "garrote" is just the prelude to today's glory. The morning began with a nostalgic atmosphere. We feel the trade winds, those gusts that smell like Christmas and that little by little were rising in tone to test us. The wind was blowing hard, but our determination was even more so. After an initial "bool" with the first Roosterfish, the Pacific finally opened its doors. We entered a surgical streak: four imposing and beautiful Roosterfish -With double included- that fought with the nobility that only this species possesses. To complete the picture, the Needlefish attacked with their usual precision and two Jack Crevalles reminded us of what a brute force fight means. What a way to change destiny!

We departed from Riu Guanacaste on a full day inshore fishing trip. We did bottom fishing and caught some grouper, red snapper and bonitos.

Some pictures of the last few days

Amazing two half days on Feb 22nd. Caught and released 8 rooster fish plus 6 jacks. Inshore fishing is on fire.

When the ocean tests your resolve, experience takes the helm. Today the Pacific showed us its wildest side. He received us with large waves of variable frequency and an “accomplice” wind that made each maneuver a tactical challenge. Under those conditions, working with the Billfish is like trying to paint a picture in the middle of an earthquake, but in Mathis Fishing Legends we are made of salt and persistence. Nature gave us a first look with a little Mahi-Mahi who approached curiously, but decided to just be a spectator of the “beauty” (our bait) in front of him. However, the main course was about to be served. Despite the boat’s bands, the adrenaline burst with two double spikes from Sailfish. In a sea like this, handling a double is a controlled chaos, and we manage to specify one of each pair to provide good action. We added two more individual visits: one that ended in “sancocho” (it escaped us by a hair!) And another successful release (Catch & Release). In the end, we made the most important decision of the day: return to port earlier than expected. When a user does not feel well due to the movement of the sea, their well-being is our absolute priority. No fish is worth more than the health and safety of those who trust us. We retired with our foreheads held high and our duty fulfilled.
