Anyone ever been to Costa Rica?

Captain Woody Woods · 10-10-2011, 01:48 AM

Looks like I'm heading there for a week in January and fishing out of the Zancudo Lodge.

Yes, 3 times. Mostly just surfed there, fished a couple of times. Once out of Tamarindo, the water was dirty due to an algae bloom and got skunked. Went out of Herradura (where the famous los suenos is) raised some sails, a blue, caught one sail and a ton of YFTs. I love that country, if you have any questions at all let me know. I've pretty much been all over the pacific coast from north to south.

Zancudo is on the golfo dulce... do yourself a favor one day and go just a little farther south and surf pavones. World class left, I've seen it break for over 1/4 mile without closing out, it just peels like a machine. Best wave I've ever seen/surfed. I know a guy that lives in Pavones that will let your borrow a board if you buy him a beer or two. Let me know if you are interested and I'll get you his contact info.

Woody I've got a Captain buddy who is in Jaco, he has been down there a long time and is dialed in! I will message him and see what I can find out

I went last year, I fished out of the Guanacaste region. We caught Roosterfish and sailfish. It was pretty fun.

Woody,
CR is a blast! In particular the area around Jaco and down to Quepos! Just a really cool place to be!

Going down for Pelagic week. Apparently they have big yellowfin there, not really interested in them for obvious reasons unless they are 200+, but would love to get shots at 10+ sails a day.
