Sounds like you were at the edge of potential disaster. Those types of experiences can give you a different perspective on life.

Very cool Mark - thanks for CR report.
Those big needle fish have some nasty teeth - they were sawing off 60# leader like it's nothing. Where are you, what part of Costa Rica? I have Costa Rica trip lined up for some fishing in July

Let me know if your going to be in these parts. July is a great month for fishing, we get our mini dry season for 2 to 3 weeks here in Central Pacific. Are you kayak fishing? Come October thru December I plan to try for some bigger game like Marlin/Wahoo/YT. These fish move in to these parts the closest of anytime of the year, about 10 to 15 miles out front. Can be done with a yak. I use 80lb fluoro for my top shot and have yet to have one of those Needlefish saw thru one, amazingly I seem to always hook them in the snout while trolling. But they sure have chewed up the fluoro by the end of the day. Last edited by CR Yaker; 06-13-2013 at 08:08 AM. |

I was in CR last month (Playa Conchal) and would of loved to yak fish. The Westin resort had yaks availiable but they had no seat backs. Talk about uncomfortable.
I ended up jumping on a skiff with 3 others and within a mile of the beach we got small Black Tuna, YT Jack's, and Sierra Mackeral. Next time i go i will definitely pack some tackle and a seat back with rod holders. |

There's something quite peaceful in a storm over the ocean, I enjoy it greatly. Last edited by CR Yaker; 06-13-2013 at 08:06 AM. |
