Where are you, what part of Costa Rica?
I have Costa Rica trip lined up for some fishing in July  |
I'm in Jaco, near Los Suenos. Nothing like a big surf launch or worse landing. Definitely makes kayak fishing an oddity in these parts.
Let me know if your going to be in these parts. July is a great month for fishing, we get our mini dry season for 2 to 3 weeks here in Central Pacific. Are you kayak fishing?
Come October thru December I plan to try for some bigger game like Marlin/Wahoo/YT. These fish move in to these parts the closest of anytime of the year, about 10 to 15 miles out front. Can be done with a yak.
I use 80lb fluoro for my top shot and have yet to have one of those Needlefish saw thru one, amazingly I seem to always hook them in the snout while trolling. But they sure have chewed up the fluoro by the end of the day.
