Trip Summary

DINNER AND A SHOW: The Family’s Dual Quest When the Pacific serves the perfect evening. For the afternoon, we received a family with a clear mission: they wanted the taste of the ocean on their dishes and the adrenaline of the Pacific in their veins. The sea, always generous with those who respect it, decided to grant them both wishes, although it put us to the test with a strong wind that made the return a slow journey, but full of satisfaction. The afternoon began with the search for the banquet. We managed to secure three Rainbow Runners, those "rainbow runners" that not only give a fun fight, but are the secret ingredient for the most exquisite recipes. We could already smell the aroma of dinner rewarding the effort of the day. ✨ But the ocean had reserved the grand finale for us. Just as the sun began to give way, the figure everyone was waiting for emerged: a legendary fighter, the majestic Sailfish. His candle cutting the water was the climax of an afternoon where the family not only caught food, but forged a memory that the wind, no matter how strong it blew, will never be able to erase.

THE PACIFIC’S WILD SIDE: Swells, Grit,
THE PACIFIC’S WILD SIDE: Swells, Grit,
Februari 24, 2026
When the ocean tests your resolve, experience takes the helm. Today the Pacific showed us its wildest side. He received us with large waves of variable frequency and an “accomplice” wind that made each maneuver a tactical challenge. Under those conditions, working with the Billfish is like trying to paint a picture in the middle of an earthquake, but in Mathis Fishing Legends we are made of salt and persistence. Nature gave us a first look with a little Mahi-Mahi who approached curiously, but decided to just be a spectator of the “beauty” (our bait) in front of him. However, the main course was about to be served. Despite the boat’s bands, the adrenaline burst with two double spikes from Sailfish. In a sea like this, handling a double is a controlled chaos, and we manage to specify one of each pair to provide good action. We added two more individual visits: one that ended in “sancocho” (it escaped us by a hair!) And another successful release (Catch & Release). In the end, we made the most important decision of the day: return to port earlier than expected. When a user does not feel well due to the movement of the sea, their well-being is our absolute priority. No fish is worth more than the health and safety of those who trust us. We retired with our foreheads held high and our duty fulfilled. Fishing Report: The Heavy Swell Session • Conditions: Big waves, crosswinds, and challenging technical water. • The Vibe: Resilient, professional, and safety-first. • The Action: High-stakes double hook-ups in rough seas. The Scoreboard: • 3 Sailfish Released: From two intense double strikes. • 1 Sailfish Sancocho: A battle of wits that the fish won this time. • 2 Don’t eat. • The Decision: Early return to port prioritizing guest comfort and safety. #RoughSeas #SailfishAction #MathisLegends #SafetyFirst #PuraVida #SportfishingCostaRica #CaptainLog #GritAndSalt #AnglerApproved

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
