Fishing in Costa Rica was amazing! I had never been deep sea fishing and couldn’t wait for our day on the water. We booked with Quepos Fish Adventure and had a good time.
After finding the fishing dock, GoogleMaps and Galileo both had issues, we bought our fishing license for $15 US each. There are multiple charter companies working from this dock with boats moored nearby.
After an hour and a half or so motoring to a reef, 45-60 minutes of bait fishing, we were headed to deep water!!
Almost as soon as the first mate had at the 6 lines set and in the water, we had our first hit! After a 40 minute fight a beautiful Sail fish came aboard for a quick photo op. These fish are not “keepers” so can only be out of the water for 45 seconds max. Kenzie, our first mate, did a great job of helping her out of the water and in position for photos.
After a brief excitement period when the adrenaline was just coming down, our second (and last) hit of the day comes. Seriously! We caught 2 Sail Fish in less than an hour. The video of this second catch can be found here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB61IOM-MtI&feature=youtu.be
Unfortunately, the extend of our excitement happened in the first hour of our fishing day, but any day on the water is a great day.
