Enjoy fishing highlights from an incredible opening month at The Zancudo Lodge, Costa Rica. As we enter the new year the marlin and tuna action is staying hot and the sailfish bite is really starting to pick up. Catch all the highlights as well as our January fishing forecast here…

The tuna action remains consistent for those wishing to target them and we’re starting to see the sailfish action pick up. Sailfish numbers will only increase as the season progresses.

Well, I don’t have to tell you what happened next, because you already know. Yes, we got the Grand Slam (my first) and we came home.
Great week the tuna bite has been on fire with some days seeing bigger grade in the 100lb+. There are still some dorado around. The marlin bite has cooled off a little but we are still catching 1 to 2 daily. The sailfish are starting to show up as well….
