Trip Summary

Fishing Report — [Afternoon] Whale sighting with Mini captains fishing Technique: Fishing lures Location: Nearshore An extraordinary afternoon, We embarked on an expedition to the Pacific Ocean, where we encountered four little members of the Charlotte North Carolina soccer team. Their enthusiasm was palpable as they sang along with the enchanting songs of the fish, witnessed the awe-inspiring leap of a humpback whale, and observed several turtles engaged in a captivating mating ritual. These experiences left an indelible mark on my memory, and they proudly captured the diverse array of photographs as a tangible testament to my journey through the waters of Herradura and Punta Leona. Highlights of the session: 1 Black tuna (Bonito) #FishingTrip #OutdoorLife #NatureLovers #WaterLegends #BigCatch #FishingMystery #LegendaryWaters #FishHunter #EpicCatch #SeekTheUnknown #SaltwaterFishing #FreshwaterFishing #AnglersParadise #FishingVibes #ReelLife #SportFishing #FishingLife #YellowfinTuna #Sailfish #SpanishMackerel #GratefulDays #FishingWithMathis

BEYOND THE GREEN WATER: Tactical Succe
BEYOND THE GREEN WATER: Tactical Succe
Februari 20, 2026
When expertise reads the ocean, the results follow. Success is not a product of chance, but of being in the right place at the right time. Today we decided to get ahead of the sun and set sail earlier than expected, a decision that paid off just 45 minutes after arriving at our famous “Killer Zone”. The first Sailfish of the morning was not long in coming, breaking the water with an energy that promised an epic day. ✨ The day put us to the test when we found a tuna stain. Despite having the live bait ready and the team in position, the sea gave us a lesson in patience; the tuna decided not to cooperate. We noticed that the water was beginning to turn greenish, an omen that for many is a reason for surrender, but for us it was the signal to pivot. We didn’t waste time. Trusting in our experience and knowledge of these currents, we move towards more promising waters. Faith and tactics were perfectly aligned: we finished the task with four blue champions. Four Sailfish that confirmed that, even when the water does not cooperate, the instinct of Mathis Fishing Legends always finds the path to victory. Fishing Report: The Tactical Pivot • Technique: Live Bait & Offshore Trolling • Location: "Zona Killer" and Strategic Relocation • The Vibe: Resilient, expert-driven, and triumphant. The Scoreboard: • 4 Sailfish Released: Majestic battles that saved the day. • The Tuna Encounter: A great sighting that kept the adrenaline high. • The Key: Moving away from "green water" to find the blue gold. #SailfishCostaRica #KillerZone #MathisLegends #ExpertFishing #PuraVida #SportfishingLife #AgainstTheOdds #BillfishAction #AnglerApproved

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
