Fishing Report — Full Day

 Location: 26 Veintiseis fishing spot At approximately 08:00 a.m., we successfully caught two fish of distinct species on our fishing lines. One of these fish, a Cubera, exhibited remarkable diving abilities and skillfully severed the fishing line. Regrettably, this fish could not be retained for further observation. Throughout the remainder of the day, we additionally captured two small horse mackerel and a golden fish. These fish were found to be in poor condition and were promptly returned to their natural habitat. A trophy monster roosterfish was awarded to our esteemed Texas friends. Catch of the day:

THE REDEMPTION RUN: Trade Winds and Roos
THE REDEMPTION RUN: Trade Winds and Roos
February 25, 2026
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! Fishing Report: The Alisios Victory * Technique: Coastal Trolling & Live Bait * Location: Costa Rican Pacific (Redemption Spot) * The Vibe: Nostalgic, windy, and absolutely triumphant. The Grand Slam Results: * 4 Trophy Roosterfish: A legendary streak that saved the week. * 3 Needlefish Action: Keeping the reflexes sharp. * 2 Jack Crevalles: Pure muscle in the surf. * The Context: From a "blank" day yesterday to a full house today. #RedemptionDay #RoosterfishStreak #AlisiosWinds #MathisLegends #CostaRicaFishing #PuraVida #SportfishingLife #AgainstTheWind #AnglerApproved

THE PACIFIC’S WILD SIDE: Swells, Grit,
THE PACIFIC’S WILD SIDE: Swells, Grit,
February 23, 2026
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. Fishing Report: The Heavy Swell Session • Conditions: Big waves, crosswinds, and challenging technical water. • The Vibe: Resilient, professional, and safety-first. • The Action: High-stakes double hook-ups in rough seas. The Scoreboard: • 3 Sailfish Released: From two intense double strikes. • 1 Sailfish Sancocho: A battle of wits that the fish won this time. • 2 Don’t eat. • The Decision: Early return to port prioritizing guest comfort and safety. #RoughSeas #SailfishAction #MathisLegends #SafetyFirst #PuraVida #SportfishingCostaRica #CaptainLog #GritAndSalt #AnglerApproved
