I know there are plenty of tours available for fishing. Just wanted to know where in Jaco or Quepos would someone recommend a day of fishing in a boat . Like anything , there are probably some charters better than others . Maybe 6 guys going in March. None of us are pro’s , all rookies . If you know the rates , I appreciate it .

There are others I would recommend for near shore (roosterfish) and yet others for drift fishing for tarpon. Depending upon if you want to use conventional gear I would recommend Captain Tony Tarralo on the Bluewater II. Tony will charge between $800 to $1000USD depending upon the type of fishing, his availability and which boat he takes you out on (he has a 30 and 36 footer). He can be reached at tonybluewater@msn.com. My wife and I went with him last April and caught an 850 pound black marlin. If catching sails by fly fishing is what you would prefer, then definitely go on Caribsea. This is a 46 foot Guthrie and is exteremely stable (not that you need it as Costa Rica waters are the calmest you can find). Caribsea will run about $1300USD for the full day. Contact Dennis Arnold at quintatucan@racsa.co.cr. Dennis was one of the first sportfishing captains in Quepos. Been down there since the 70s. He will also act as a personal videographer in case you want a video of your trip. To see some of his videos, please go to http://www.entropysportfishing.com and click into the Costa Rica fishing page. There are 2 videos on pelagic fly fishing: one for teasing them up and the other with SPECTACULAR jumps!!! Check out the girl in the green bikini. She is about 12 years old and landed a 125 pound sail all by herself on a 14 weight fly rod. The conventional tackle video shows our black marlin briefly – on Tony’s 36 foot boat. Both of these boats have english speaking crews, provide all your food and beverages and are a wealth of information… When you come back to the States look me up and we’ll do some fishing on the Chesapeake… Be sure to tell Tony or Dennis I sent you.

This looks very much like one of those ‘commercial posts’ we warn people about there Captain Joey but since I don’t understand fishing jargon too well, I guess I’ll havwe to let it slide.
