Enormous Game Fishing Marlin and Billfish in Costa Rica.

And Costa Rica ship operators release all billfish that are not record contenders, so the future of the resource is warranted. Grand Slams, with 3 of the 4 billfish species released the same day, are routine during top season. If hanging a giant billfish on a fly rod is more to your taste, some charter operators concentrate on massive game fly-fishing. The 1st Pacific blue marlin ever caught on a fly was taken in Costa Rica, together with 8 other marlin and sailfish tippet-class IGFA records. I am a shore fishing expert on Mirror Lake, but I knew there needed to be a better way to land those largemouth bass lunkers lazing in the far reaches of the cattail bog. I can get in near to the cool cattail cover meeting the murky reed free deeps. The major players bask in the cattails, and then they dart out for juvenile sunfish and bluegill baitfish, before dashing into their den. Cattails produce alkaline mats, eating up the O, moving the bass out to deeper water. Guapote are a largemouth bass fishermen;s dream, and are fished precisely as you would for bass at home, readily taking spinner baits, jigs and crank baits. In a 1- 0.5 day competition at Lake Arenal not way back, the winning two-man team weighted in a record seventeen fish at 91 lbs, 5oz. Many streams also have rainbow bass, together with bobo ( a fresh water mullet ) ; mojarra, another colorful cichlid related to the guapote that appears like a giant bluegill with teeth ; machaca, frequently called sabalito, or tiny tarpon, due to its acrobatic jumps that make it a fave of fly fishermen ; drum and others.

Biggest basically weighted in from there had been 205 pounds.
