We had an amazing time fishing with Capt. Melvin aboard the Wahoo!  I have been fortunate to fish throughout Central America, and Capt. Melvin is first rate.  The boat was perfect for the conditions and the gear/tackle/equipment was all top of the line.  While it might have been a slow(ish) day for Quepos standards, we ended up landing three nice mahi, went 3/3 on sailfish (one of which we saw free swimming while trolling toward the FADs and circled back and pulled up into our spread, which was one of the coolest bites I have ever seen), and had a short strike from an early season Marlin that just missed the hardware.  We had an incredible time and will definitely be fishing with Capt. Melvin next time we come through town.

Melvin and his mate were fantastic!  had a clear plan and were prepared while 9 other boats were catching bait we were fishing. caught an awesome Mahi, they cleaned it and later in the day made fabulous ceavichi from it. then again after hooking up and fighting another one they sliced an amazing pineapple with an awesome presentation. I would highly recommend Melvin and his crew. They are high class and have it together

I wanted to live the offshore fishing experience with my 9 and 11 yo boys. Everything, but everything was perfect… weather, music, captain and assistant smile and skills, the fruits, the beverages, the snacks, the lunch, dolphins, turtles, birds and of course fish. Around 15 catches, 4 different spiecies, around 3 kg of meat that we’ve braught back to the hôtel for the chef to cook for us :) We’ve even caught 3 fish at the same time… no kidding! Oh, Even the Price is good ;) Mucho Gracias Hermanos!

We met Captain Melvin and Cheetah Man in the morning and they were very professional. We soon motored off and picked up some sardines and we were off to the races. We opted for offshore fishing and the captain recommended Tuna. We were down!
We went 30 miles out and saw incredible marine creatures. We saw a shark breach several times and literally hundreds of spinner dolphins swimming in schools, jumping, frolicking and doing crazy spins. Captain Melvin found a fishing spot we hooked an 80 lb tuna in 5 min! Then we fought it for an hour. We had sashimi boat side while we saw whales breaching nearby. We continued on and caught after several attempts landed another 60 lb tuba. It was absolutely incredible. Splash in some swimming and drinking and it was a perfect day.

I had a great, fun time with Captain Melvin, aka Tony.  Took along my 10wt and some flies I hoped would work.  “This fly will hook a fish on first cast,” he said, and it happened.  Tony worked previously with a strictly fly only fisherman, so his “good cast” was informed praise.  He doesn’t carry his own fly tackle, but knows how to help a fly guy catch fish in his territory .  We also caught fish on chunk bait (big, very strong jacks) after other fish had broken off the best flies (we learned a lot, quickly), then rounded out the morning fly casting again, this time to monster milkfish—they didn’t like my fly, but just seeing them busting on top was a treat.  Tony is friendly, flexible, knows the water and where to find fish based on 10 years’ experience fishing out of Quepos.  Boat is clean and comfortable.  Captain always happy, encouraging, upbeat. English pretty good— gaps bridged with smiles and love of fishing.
