Sport Fishing For The First Time In Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica

By:


A friend of mine as well as her husband own Tropic Fins Adventures in Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica, one day they invited us to join them on an exciting In-shore fishing trip during an afternoon. I was a bit nervous since I'm not a fisherman and my husband had about as much experience as I did. But we accepted the challenge and it was great!

Now, Cory was our captain and guide for this adventure, he has over 15 years of fishing experience and has taken out professional fishermen and showed them the best times of their lives. Yet I feel his job is a lot easier when he's out with fellow fishermen, rather newbies such as us. Anyway he made our first fishing experience so fun, that my husband is already making plans for another one.

Our in shore adventure started with a 20 minute boat ride to the middle of Golfo Dulce. Once we anchored the boat Cory was kind enough to prepare all the rods. And oh my god! When the first bite happened, the adrenaline that started to flow through us was hard to describe. I couldn't believe that with just my luck, two bites came at once. Cory directed me to one while my husband struggled with the other.

After having a long and hard fight my husband, with Cory's help, I lifted out a beautiful Jack Cravel that weighed no less than twenty pounds and was breathing almost as hard as my husband. Meanwhile I was still on the other side of the boat fighting for my life with a fish that was dragging me all over the place. It was pulling so hard I had started to consider throwing myself over, or at least the rod. Finally after the excitement of the Jack Cravel fainted and the fish was released back to sea, I actually got the attention that I needed. Cory expertly took the rod from me and then handed it over to my husband who managed to reel in a gorgeous fifty pound Rooster-fish.

But that's not all. The best part of the trip for me was on the way back to the pier, right as the sun began to set over the Osa Peninsula. We were intercepted by a friendly group of dolphins. We had the greatest time of our lives as the dolphins danced and jumped out of the water leading us straight to home.
