When people talk about the peak fishing season in Costa Rica everyone rushes to say that it's December through April, just like the dry season. While that is indeed our peak billfish season, for some reason a lot of anglers think that just because we experience our green season, or rainy...

Despite the upwellings, the tuna never left, very good size Dorado are being hooked daily on live bait near the shore, this is a big improvement from the years before. Wahoo are also starting to...

Went out last week for a trip down to the tuna grounds to try for the first bluefin of the year. As is typical with our beloved beasts, we found them and chummed them to the surface, only to strike out on getting any to bite. We even backed down to 15lb flouro leader to no avail. At any rate...

September traditionally isn't the most sought after month to come fishing in Costa Rica as stories of "rainy season" run rampant. However just because hordes of anglers aren't out on the water doesn't mean the fish aren't here. In the right part of the country you still get sunny days and calm...

Two part question: Has anyone been having much luck on the Cowbells and what are your thoughts on Mono vs wire leaders? The reason I ask is been slaying Dogtooth, Ono, Barracuda with a good mix of Mahi, Ahi and Marlin. But losing a lot of lures to the toothy guys. It's felt that wire leaders...

As we begin the month of March we are running at full capacity at the lodge and although the bite has been a bit tough going at times our crews are keeping the rods bent and our guests happy. March is considered ‘prime time’ for sailfish in Costa Rica and the fish are definitely here. We’re...

I was thinking about our prime time Tuna Tournament that is a blessing from all angles: for the vets, for those in need, and for the anglers. I thought about each tournament, the brotherhood, the results, everything. It brought me back to the beginning.....Todd mentored me starting in 2006...

Hi Guys. My next build (rod #2 for me) is going to be a Rainshadow Tuna Popper (RTP80MH). It is a 8' rod rated at 30-60 line weight, MF action, MH power, and 3-6 lure weight. My first question is around the grips. The build sheet that Rainshadow provides for the blank recommends a 12" butt...

It's been as good while since I post a report. This weekend was the best local trip we have been on as far as I can remember. I got to know these guys after installing three NSS12 Evo 2's with all the bells and whistles on their Bertram and it's been great fishing with them over the past...

We got a scoop early from Dana (3:45am) & set sail out on a line thru the 209, 181, to the 43 Fathom. Bumpy ride made paddy spotting very difficult. After stopping on a mysterious Navy metal tube bobbing in the water, quickly tossed it back in, & pushed on to the 43. Approx 30-50+ boats in the...

Hi Everyone! Check out my videos below. The yellowfin boil is from this past weekend (August 11-12th) on a 1-day limited load trip out of H&M Landing on the First String. We caught 63 yellowfin tuna in under an hour. It was the only biting fish we really had. The captain and crew were...

Well today was finally the day. Our day started by spotting a marlin about 6 miles out of dana point. We had no bait so rigged a troller with marlin lure....he bailed on us. We've been hunting for weeks and have caught one BFT before on spotty run and gun conditions. Today was different...

we found ourselves drifting into a huge foamer, and then the school engulfed us, the chove ran for cover under our boat and the tuna followed, NO we did not run the boil over, 80-200lbrs hitting the boat and almost jumping in....pretty cool day.

Left late yesterday for the 9. Long story short, water was 74 but real green. Lots of paddys with nothing on them. More bait, birds diving and dolphins than we've ever seen. Our best guess is the hurricane is pushing up warm water and destroying the viz. Hopefully it will settle down in a...

Hotel Palmas De Cortez, Los Barriles, B.C.S., Mexico. Todays catch of the day was on the Deluxe Cruiser El Tio! While fishing in the Roy Clark Billfish Tournament, Kathy and Hal Hunter from North Carolina landed this giant 213lbs. yellowfin tuna! Way to go guys!

Fishing out of Saint Pete Florida, we launched from O'neills Marina and went out in search of fast and toothy. The kingfish bite was tough but managed a small snake king. Then a huge blowup on our live threadfin herring resulted in a FAT blackfin tuna

I'm a northern California salmon fisherman heading down to pick up my 17.5' center console from Dana point in about a week. I would really like to catch some fish that I don't normally have the oppurtunity for such as yellow tail, WSB, and possibly tuna if I'm lucky. I have heard of fish being...

The offshore fishing has been pretty good most days when we can get out there. The weather has actually been about as nice as can be as far as sunshine and clear skies go, but the wind has not been cooperating at all. The forecasters right now are not accurate more than a day or two out with...
