| Randy, who began fishing these waters in 1974, is widely acknowledged
as one of Costa Rica's top captains. Randy has guided both conventional and flyfishermen to numerous IGFA World
Records. Among his numerous accomplishments, he holds the Costa Rica all tackle record for black marlin with a
956 pound specimen hooked on Tamarindo Reef, 10 minutes from the beach. He specializes in fishing artificials and enjoys teaching anglers his manual drop back technique. This is a very visual and fun method to hook billfish and most anglers become converts once they've seen how effective it is! |

Tamarindo is one of Costa Ricas most fertile fishing areas and is
definitely the best area for marlin. An April 97 Salt Water Sportsman article. "20 Top Spots for Blue Marlin"
included Tamarindo twice, identifying January - March, Punta Guiones to Tamarindo, and August - November, Tamarindo
to Gulf of Papagayo, as among the world's best venues for blue marlin. You can add black marlin, striped marlin,
yellowfin tuna to 300 + lbs., dorado, wahoo, roosterfish, Pacific Dog snapper, and one of the world's best sailfisheries
to the mix. Traditionally, April through September are excellent for sails, marlin, tuna and dolphin. The seas are calm, and afternoon showers are common. October through December sees the transition between rainy season and dry season here, and we catch a variety of species. December through March can be windy, and boats usually run about 45 minutes to the south to get to the good fishing out of the wind. Marlin, and large yellowfin tuna are plentiful then, as well as sailfish. |
