Not far from this beach, a goliath grouper weighing 385 pounds was taken out of surf – with a hand line! It took the local fisherman five and a half hours to haul it in.
We made the 10 mile run back to Point Arenitis where we anticipated a late afternoon bite…we weren’t disappointed.
This jack leaped out of the water and crashed on top of my bait.
It looked more like the hit you would expect on a surface popper than on a live sardine.
Immediately after taking this picture of my daughter Jennifer, on her horseback tour of the beach, I connected with another rooster.
Where else can you watch your family ride off into the sunset and then land a rooster fish – all within sight of the dock!
Location, location, location!
And this was only my first day of fishing – “Pura Vida” as they say in Costa Rica.
I’m returning in May and this time I’m heading up an expedition for those anglers interested in an extreme fishing safari. We will be doing a lot of exploratory fishing and will be able to fish at daybreak and at sunset – something the lodge has never offered before. We are even arranging for ferry service to allow surf fishing and fly fishing from shore. All this at a discounted rate.
Wait till you read about my offshore exploits…to be continued.
If you’re interested in joining me on this first of its kind fishing trip, check out the details at
