Jay,
Please send me an email off-line about Costa
Rica. A buddy of mine is fishing there right now, and I'd like to
compare notes with you and him.
Thanks!
Richard

Tom,
If you want the time of your life, go to Costa
Rica for Sailfish (twice). I've fished both Los Cabos and Costa Rica and there
is no comparison. In four days of fishing last year, we caught 26 sailfish, 5
on the fly and our group of only 8 boats caught over 45 on the fly. The
sailfishing is on the pacific side and roosterfish are available also. The
captains in CR like to flyfish and get a kick out of teasing fish
in--something I never found in LC. Also, in CR, they NEVER pressure you to
keep a fish.
Contact me offline for more info if you'd
like,
Jay Paulson

It's not impossible, but it's tough to get good
quality fishing off the beach, particularly this time of year, although some
little jacks, needlefish, et al can be had. In February, it can be
windy, and the wind comes in from the water (which means into your face,
which makes it challenging to cast, at least for me it does).
Fishing really is much, much better from a
boat. A panga can be rented for $180 for the day, which is measured
from when you step on the boat at about 7 am, and get off the boat about 2
pm; if you can find someone to split the boat costs with you, $90 per
person is pretty darn cheap!
Where are you staying?

My wife and I are going to Los Cabos in Feb. We'll be
doing the budget trip, so I'm wondering if there's any good fishing to be
had WITHOUT a guide and without having to go way out on a boat (read: surf
casting alone). Any insight?

Tom, probably the best bang for your buck
in warm saltwater fishing has to be fishing Baja, from Los Cabos on up
to Loreto.

Rica Ross:
Thanks for the information.
Having just retired from a "real
job", and it being pretty much the "off season" for guiding, I want to
go down there, or some other tropical ( & cheap) place, and "hang
out" for a month or so.
Do you know anything about their
rainy season?
Any more info you can give me would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
