    Had my first Sailfish experience and I'm hooked! Now all future vacations I'll scout out the local Billfish action. :)

    Used Quepos Fishing Adventures Quepos Fishing - American Owner and Captain Charter Sport Fishing Boat in Quepos Costa Rica. I highly recommend the American owner John S. and the American captain John W. and mate Alex. This is a top notch crew that got 5th place in World Championships. They run a very economical operation with best prices and fishing grounds close to Quepos. I was there in the slow season and it has been particularly slow lately, but I still landed 5 Sailfish up to 103" and a Mahi-mahi that went 61". Evidently December to April they expect 10 Sailfish days, not uncommon for 20 fish day, and 5 is considered slow. They also get a Black Marlin every few weeks.

    103" Pacific Sailfish & 61" Mahi-mahi. 20 minutes of bottom fishing at end for dinner.

    Got the Costa Rica replica fish back from Gray Taxidermy. They did great job detail and dimensions, prices high and it took them 7 months after promised 3 months.
