Sportfishing Central America

[Chris_L]

I am planning a trip to Central/South America Mar/Apr of next year. I have been to Golfito Costa Rica and Coiba/Hannibal Banks a few times, however, it has been a few years. Any suggestions on "new" lodges or operations in the area without breaking the bank?

Join us at Sailfish Bay Lodge here in Guatemala. We opened a beautiful beachfront lodge (the only one in Guatemala) this year. Fishing is excellent in March and April.

Look for a new operation in Panama next year.

In the meantime, consider LaGuaira, Venezuela for kick-ass marlin fishing.

Hey Les, how do you report on a date that hasn't occured yet? Sounds fishy to me.

Les, your report looks surprisingly similar to the report on Fintalk.com, only another different date.

You can check our place out just North of Jiquilillo on the Pacific. The name is Redwood Beach Resort, the town is Mechapa. We are a 20 minute drive on the beach from the Padre Ramos Estero and the fishing has been very good lately. We have some nice one-bedroom cabanas with private baths, and a restaurant and bar that serves extremely cold beer and ridiculously strong rum drinks. Our web site is under construction, but you can see some pictures from a few years ago on the site redwoodbeachresort.com. Plus, we need some people to come up and help us along with our own saltwater fishing. We have been using lisas, or mullet, only, and can´t get our hands on much else. A member responded to one of my queries by recommending orange rapalas, 4 to 5 inch. We use the local cuerda-method because we like to go local sometimes, but definately welcome more sophisticated methods (like this millenium:) Discounts for Members of this Forum!!!
