Spent a week in Costa Rica and managed to get a half day fishing in with my GF.
Location: pacific ocean
Water temp: 16 degrees Celsius
Wind: 0 - 20mph out of the west
Water Dirty
Started off by catching live bait - don't remember the name of them but still a ton of fun catching them. I was catching 4 at a time on a Sabiki rig up to 6"
We then did a slow troll using live bait on the top and with a down-rigger set a 20' I let my GF catch the fish fish that hit the Live bait and she pulled in a nice size Rooster Fish. I'm guessing 10 - 12lbs
I worked the front of the boat casting toward the shore with a "Popper" The mate worked the back of the boat with a Popper as well. I managed to catch a small "jack crevalle" Pretty nice catching him on an artificial popper.
Not the best fishing due to the colder than normal water temperatures but still a lot of fun. After spending some time there and talking with more people it seems as though the bigger fish are being caught off shore on the full day trips. I would have loved to go on a full day trip but the cost was a little too much for me. Maybe next time....
