My brother and I had an awesome day out with Juan and his hand, Byron.  We did an 8-hour trip and Juan got us on a school of Mahi Mahi within an hour.  It was exciting action in the morning and mid afternoon.  The bite died down mid day, but Juan kept working to try and find the fish during that period.  We ended the day in some more exciting dorado action.  we were fortunate and saw a lot of different wildlife throughout the day: Manta rays, dolfins, turtles and more.  They also prepared...

Nous voulions essayer la pêche au Costa Rica et notre expérience fut inoubliable! Nous étions à la recherche d’une espèce de poisson du nom de poisson-coq ou roosterfish, cependant les conditions n’étaient pas au rendez-vous pour ce poisson emblématique du Costa Rica. Pas grave ! Les thons jaunes étaient de sortie !! Munis d’une canne spinning et d’un leurre, nous étions à la traque des bancs de thons qui chassaient tout autour de nous, c’était spectaculaire !... More

This was my second time out with the captain. Him and his man on the boat were great, sharing fishing knowledge and just generally having a good time.

We had a great time, captain and first mate were great and tried hard to mae sure our trip was good. we eneded up catching 4 rooster fish, a jack crevalle that the captain turned into shashimi which was so good. We also had numerous other bites. He made sure to bring live bait which was a game changer for us. There were other boats around us not having hardly any luck because they didnt bring any live bait. We 100% recommend fishing woth Captain Mendez!! Thanks again for the great day and next... More

We had a great experience with Captain Mendez.  He was extremely prompt and helpful with all of his communication.  The day got off to a slow start with high temps and winds, but Captain Mendez kept changing strategies while pointing out of marine animals - whales, sea turtles, etc. to keep me and my two teenage daughters engaged.  His keen eye spotted a sailfish and the hunt was on.  We successfully got the fish on the line.  An epic battle ended with some amazing photographs, videos and...
