When the Moon watches, the Pacific tests
When the Moon watches, the Pacific tests
Februari 3, 2026
UNDER THE LUNAR LENS: A Battle Against the Front When the Moon watches, the Pacific tests your resolve. There is an undeniable mystique when we fish under the gaze of a full moon. Expectations grow as much as tides, but the ocean always has the last word. The morning received us with a deceptive calm; a brief respite before the winds of a cold front decided to claim their territory. ❄️ For two hours, the silence on the reels was absolute. But in fishing, silence is not the absence of life, it is an accumulation of tension. Suddenly, the surface eroped. It wasn’t just any sting; it was a violent attack, a “hard to break” that emerged from the depths to challenge our patience. Thanks to the years of trade and the deep knowledge of the Roosterfish, we managed to tame the strength of that coastal champion just when the wind grew stronger again. A technical victory that reminded us that, under any moon or cold front, experience is the anchor that keeps us victorious. Fishing Report: The Full Moon Challenge • Technique: Coastal Trolling & Live Bait • Location: Nearshore, Costa Rica • The Vibe: High suspense, weather tactics, and lunar magic. The Catch: • 1 Champion Roosterfish: A powerhouse of the shallows. • The Lesson: In the face of a cold front, timing and local expertise are everything. #Roosterfish #FullMoonFishing #CostaRicaSportfishing #MathisLegends #PuraVida #AnglerLife #SeaMysteries #ColdFrontFishing

Wat hengelaars zeiden over fishing in Costa Rica

Be prepared to wade out (knee deep or more) to get on the small skiff to take you to the anchored fishing boat. We got suckered into $10 parking, had we gone 30 yards further out would of been free but at least we had someone watching our vehicle

Deep sea fishing is hit and miss (everywhere). Don't expect to be catching fish constantly. Mostly trolling and waiting.

Spend the extra money, and buy the more expensive charter. I had 15 buddies do other charters the same day, and they all caught fish. No hate on the Captain or mate, but the more expensive charters have better equiptment, faster boats, and more amenities.

This was our 2nd fishing trip on The Bucket List with Jeff and Jose. Fantastic fishing, excellent captain and crew. They worked very hard to put us on the fish. Constantly working the lines and bait. Helped some in our party to learn how to REEL in the big fish. Lunch, drinks and snacks were plentiful! Caught 7 sailfish…..we will be back!

Captain Randy and mate David were knowledgeable and attentive. We caught 6 sailfish. Capt Randy was in communication with other boats to know where the fish were if we wanted to go for tuna or Mahi. We did get to see 2 different types of dolphins and sea turtles which just added to the great experience.

Wear sandals as most (maybe even all) charters go off the beach so you will have too jump on a little bout to get a ride to your boat. San screen is the must! Tell Captain about your goal (specific fish you want to catch if there is one)
