Tropical Homes goes fishing 11-15-09
Tropical Homes of Flamingo Rica have a reputation for being one of the best rental home companies in the Guanacaste area. The owner Britta pictured here, went out fishing with me this past weekend hoping to find her first Marlin. We saw two a Striped Marlin and Blue Marlin. Dorado like this on here can really be caught in high numbers in November in Flamingo Costa Rica. Other fish that be caught in this area are Black Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Yellow Fin Tuna. Inshore there are a lot of Rooster fish being caught as well.
Sails Begin
Getting into November means more Sailfish! The water off Flamingo/Carrillo, Costa Rica cools down this time of year bringing in the Bonita, sardines, and ballyhoo. In turn brings in the Sailfish! Also it would not be surprising to raise Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, large Dorado, Yellow fin tuna, and Wahoo chasing this bait north as well. In Carrillo from mid December to April you can have up to 20 shots and these beautiful fish!
Costa Rica Saves Sail fish!!!!!
This is from the Tico Times of San Jose Costa Rica, this small report is a huge step in Costa Rican Sport fishing!!! Congrats to the people involved!!!!!!
Giant Sailfish Goes French 11-19-09
This was one of the biggest Sailfish I have ever seen weighing way over 180lbs. Sail’s like this one frequent these waters close in and in numbers this time of year because of the baby and large Dorado run. The Sailfish feed off the small Dorado while there cousins the Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, and Strip Marlin feed off the larger Dorado. Other fish that can be caught off Flamingo, Costa Rica are Wahoo, yellow fin tuna, and large Roosterfish this time of year. This new friend of mine got his hands full with this one and myself well I had to jump in with this monster. A common thing for the Capt. Jason “Mr. Trigger” Coffrin to do with a large Sailfish or Blue Marlin, Black Marlin or Stripe Marlin.
Stripe Marlin
Another day on the water with people from Sarasota Fl, fishing the waters of Flamingo/ Carrillo Costa Rica.
Marlin in the Air
Marlin like this 450lb Black Marlin frequent, the water off Flamingo, Costa Rica most of the year but, this time of year is the best for big Black Marlin, Blue Marlin and Stripe Marlin. The reason is the abundance of Bonita and very small Dorado in the area, a key food source for these huge predators, many of our Marlin caught by a bait and switch system. Where they are teased up and then bait is shown to them for the hookup. Other fish that can be caught off Flamingo, Costa Rica are Dorado, Yellow fin tuna, Sailfish, and Wahoo.

Wahoo Mania
This Wahoo was taken off the Catalina islands on a surface plug. It weighs about 63 pounds and was caught on 20lb tackle by a special long time client Manny pictured here with me. Wahoo like this one are a common thing for Mr. Trigger and crew off Flamingo and Carrillo Costa Rica. These fish are caught high speed trolling or slow speed with live bait. Good time to try for these fish is from August to November.
Blue Afternoon
This Blue Marlin was caught tagged and released using the bait and switch style we love at Mr Trigger Sportfishing in Carrillo/Flamingo Costa Rica.
