Tarpon Tarpon And More Tarpon
Tarpon Tarpon And More Tarpon as the season in our resort in Costa Rica is in full swing and our anglers are reaping the rewards with multiple catches of their target species, the Tarpon. There doesn’t seem to be a better place in the world to target the largest of this species and put this with some of the best Tarpon guides and the finest accommodation and you will not be disappointed.
Our fishery manager has been sending us some fantastic reports recently and sitting here looking through what has been caught over the last couple of weeks, it still takes my breath away and is some where that is quickly finding its way to the top of my places that I have got to visit. So if you are a die-hard Tarpon angler that goes to Florida each year then you simply must take a look at Costa Rica for your next trip, you will not be disappointed. Check out the little fishing reports from the last couple of weeks:
“Fishing remains fantastic. Our clients Ted and Peter have caught 35 tarpon in four days and still have three to go. Our new guests have arrived, had their breakfast and went out and caught tarpon almost immediately. Fish are taking ‘sardinas’ and single hook jigs made by Marvin, an outstanding guide who has been with the lodge for many years (from the start, actually) and has clearly developed a pattern that is working. There is little that could improve on current conditions“.
Fishing report:
“Wind finally died down and our guests were able to get out the river mouth and onto the ocean. The morning was a bust but the afternoon made up for it!
One guest had 2 tarpon on the hook and caught two tarpon – 80 and 100 pounds, respectively.
One guest caught two 80-pound tarpon.
One guest caught a 120-pound tarpon and had 3 on the hook“.
