THE CAPTAIN’S SANCTUARY: 6 Roosters and
THE CAPTAIN’S SANCTUARY: 6 Roosters and
Februari 19, 2026
Where others see ocean, we see coordinates of glory. The morning started with an electric energy. The Needlefish were active, patrolling the surface and giving us the first bites of the day. But we don’t go out just to see what happens; we go out with a plan. Very early, the first Roosterfish made its appearance, marking the pace of what would be a historic day. When the area began to populate, the Captain took the helm and directed us towards “The Sanctuary”: a secret point that only his years of navigating these waters have allowed him to decipher. It is one of those places that others pass by, but for us it is synonymous with success. There, the action became frantic. Between the agility of the Needlefish and the brute force of the Jack Crevalles - two of whom gave such a dignified fight that they touched the leader before being released - the highlight was about to be served. When we moved to our last trusted spot, the sea simply opened for us. The final result speaks of a deep knowledge of the area and a crew that does not stop until they find the gold: 6 Roosterfish claimed and released! A morning where the Captain’s strategy beat the chance. Fishing Report: The Secret Spot Marathon • Technique: Live Bait & Tactical Inshore Trolling • Location: Captain’s Private Coordinates (Confidential) • The Vibe: Exclusive, high-paced, and dominant. The Final Scoreboard: • 6 Roosterfish: The kings of the shore, all sizes, all heart. • 3 Needlefish: Fast and fierce. • 2 Jack Crevalles: Pure muscle on the line. #SecretSpot #MathisLegends #CostaRicaFishing #PuraVida #JackCrevalle #InshoreAction #CaptainKnowledge #AnglerApproved

Quepos is one of the most diverse fisheries on the planet. Inshore or offshore, you truly never know what might bite, and that’s what makes it so special. Roosterfish one day, trophy pelagics the next. The variety and quality of fishing here is unmatched.

Bring lots of cash to avoid big credit card fees. Look into 3/4 offshore trips as good value. Don't think you have to book a big sports fisherman for a good time. For two people are boat was just fine.

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.
