Me and R.Long just got back from our best friends bachelor party. We have been telling him for the past few months that a bunch of us were going to take him out to Vegas and that’s all he knew until we switched flights in Houston to go down to Los Suenos, Costa Rica (he was pumped)! This was a first class place with an unbelievable landscape hidden on the coast in the middle of some wild ass way of life. We only took one day off from partying to go fishing and had a great time, we fished “inshore” for Rooster fish because that’s all the bachelor had ever talked about catching. No doubt I plan on going back to go offshore in the “peak” season…Highly recommend this trip….

Here are a few pictures, I hope to have some great video edited and put up soon…

worlds largest needlefish......

That sure looks like the docks at Herradura.  Shaun and I went down for a week last year and had a blast.  We rented a house and partied like crazy.  We scheduled 3 times to go fishing but weather would not cooperate and the Captain would not take us out.  I am going back for another trip soon.  Very nice fish and report.

AAHHH, Roosterfish are on my bucket list!!! Heck, a Costa Rica fishing trip is on my bucket list.

1. Faria Gauges SUCK!

2. Please do not support any of the captains or vessels on the list below. They support the SOS plan and intend to lie to you and steal from you so that they can stay fat and happy.

No they were very adamant about getting them back in the water so they would live. They must taste pretty bad because the eat just about anything including a barracuda we caught but not the roosters….

That's great!!! The Back Yard is the bomb. I think the dudes name is Nick or Chris but he went to high school with my wife and freinds from West Palm Beach. We stayed there for 90% of the times we went. He will let you eat for free the whole time if you bring him Yellowfin Tuna for the bar. After only eating chicken and rice for a week it's nice to go there and get some great hot wings! I was so close to staying and taking the open bar tender job but mom freaked when I called her from Costa and told her I was going to take some time off from college. I wish I would have done it now.

Question for the guys who have been to Costa. There is a sauce that is on every table in Costa called Salsa English. Do any of you know where to get it? They told me before i left the last time I would be able to find it back in the states at every store and to this day I have not. Is it called something different here?

I see you guys had a good time with Tigre'.  Been Roosterfishing with him and always had a good time.  You guys stayed in my place while you were ther.  Looks like it was everything I told Donnie it would be.  Pura Vida...

Salsa Inglesa, I brought it back in some type of bag like container, bought in the big supermarket in Heradura.  I goggled it and came up with several mail order sources.
