Fishing Reports

Today we headed out 40+ miles offshore for some blue marlin action. We were greeted by flat calm ocean and perfect weather. The blue marlin are still biting out there, and we ended the day 1-2 and raised 5 that did not bite. Thanks to the Zancudo crew, it was an unbelievable day of Costa Rica fishing here at the lodge. 

It was a long run 50 miles out and we finally spotted a flock of birds 5 mile out on on our Simrad Yachting HD radar. Feeding under the birds were spotted porpoises with some nice grade tuna mixed in. We ended the day with 12 fish. Some in the 75lb-85lb grade.

Things are looking a little better so hang in there everyone!  It’s all right around the corner! So come make some memories with us!  Here’s some available dates for next season.

We unfortunately closed the Lodge early this year and although all our minds are still on this global  virus, we have to keep believing that this will run its course and life will get better.

The greatest part of this job is when a client reports that “the fishing was amazing and this was my BEST day ever”. This week we had a few of those moments.

From our White Water Marine event last week — a killer whale with its baby. Check it out the baby she has a turtle in its mouth! Only in Costa Rica!

The annual White Water Marine tournament was held after the New Year holiday and it was a blast with a lodge full of east coasters competing for the prize title. Offshore, there were triple digit yellowfin tuna with the biggest one caught at 180 lbs and many in the 80-110 lb range.

We’re ringing in the new year here at Zancudo Lodge with this monster yellowfin tuna pulled over the rails — or should I say through the door — of our Contender 32ST. Our guest Richard Katsma caught this monster 264lb yellowfin on December 31, 2019. Nice job and congratulations! Javier was able to zero in on where the tuna were with his Simrad Yachting x band bird radar and hooked this cow fishing a live bonita as bait. Happy new year!
