My best day ever

I came to Costa Rica for the first time in my life. Never caught a fish before, not even Wahoo. Quite a happy day when I first went to Costa Rica and went fishing. On the appointed day, we set sail for the sea. At first, my target was Sailfish. While fishing for Sailfish, I tried to hook up a couple. Once upon a time, I was successful in fishing. One Wahoo beat through my 100-pound leader after a blistering run, and I snapped a response to my reel and my flat line. My dream for a long time was to enjoy hundreds of Wahoo grilled and Wahoo fried fish with rice, beans, and grilled sweet corn at a Taco stand. I succeeded in doing Wahoo fishing. I even ate delicious Wahoo with rice, beans, and grilled sweet corn at the taco stand.

In particular fish, wahoos can rotate 180 degrees per second. The most popular Wahu bait is dead sandalwood, cigar minnow, mullet, or strip bait. This bait can use for trolling downriggers, planners, and cable lines. Plan a vacation in Costa Rica. We will make all the arrangements for you. Visit our website. We have all kinds of packages.
