Half day trip with Capt. Walter
Half day trip with Capt. Walter
VERIFIEDFirst off, Captain Boos was very responsive to emails and easy to keep in contact with. He was waiting at the โmarinaโ when we got there and introduced us to the captain who would be taking us out for the day. The marina is really just a boat ramp, no structure or facilities available so plan according if you are traveling a distance to get there, make any restroom or food stops prior to getting there.
The fishing trip was an overall good experience, our Captain Walter and mate Eduardo were very friendly and we had a good day on the water with them. The bite was very slow (I get it, itโs fishing, no worries) and we trolled for several hours. We finally got a bite and it was a nice sailfish, which was awesome as Iโve never caught one before. We got it in and posed for a quick picture and a safe release of the fish. That was it for the fishing , we caught one small Bonita late in the day while trolling home.
They worked hard to find us fish until the very end, it just didnโt really happen. It wasnโt for lack of effort.
Now the reason for the average review, I specifically request to go rooster fishing, I came to Costa Rica with one goal in mind, CATCH A ROOSTER FISH! I made that very clear but when we got on the boat I was told they couldnโt find bait, that there were no rooster fish around anymore. Iโm a fishermen I understand difficulty finding bait. But that was the one thing I wanted to fish for and we didnโt even try. I get trying to put people on fish, however I booked for one specific reason and we didnโt even attempt to make it possible. What was even more frustrating was when we got back to our resort at the end of the day, the people who fished (in the same area we were in most of the day) caught 2 big rooster fish.
Overall experience was a good day on the water, frustrates me that I was very clear with type of fishing and didnโt even try. Just trolled baits all day long.

About the Rooster fish I would like to star mention that my crew arrived to the marina at 5 am every day looking for bite, some days are plenty, some days are only a few, some days are nothing, and is that the way the ocean works for us, I been to United States and here in Costa Rica is VERY DEFERENT the way you find the bite we donโt have any body with big tanks or anything even closer
Captain Walter had two options keep trying to find bite all morning and maybe donโt catch anything or go offshore and try at less to give you a nice larger fish. And they found a nice sailfish for you. (Btw Im agree with the call he make)
When you target only one fish the pressure is on, and is no very easy thing to do.
Have a nice day and thank you again for your positive words we are a family that work hard to make everybody happy and is some thing very hard to do
And btw we love your BIG smile on the picture
Pura vida and enjoy your Sunday
