New to Costa Rica and Salt Water Fishing. Would somebody be able to show me around?

This has got to be the most asked question on this forum!!!
A thread like this will probably get removed right away, But I will give it a shot.
As indicated before I am moving to Cartago in Jan. I did get a lot of help with Rod Selection line Reel etc. THANKS GUYS!!
I would like to ask if there is some one out there that would not mind showing me around a bit. What makes me different than all of the rest of the people posing similar threads? Probably nothing.
I do have some gear both Spin and Fly Fishing ( probably some of it is wrong) I am not a beginner, but I will say that I have maybe fished Salt Water twice at best.
I do speak perfect Spanish so if I am persistent and keep asking around I might be able to reach my goal. However it would be a huge help if I got some help with this. Thank You for you time ………….

Cartago was just hit by a good sized earth quake yesterday. The shock wave was pretty intense. I hope you have not arrived yet. Feel free to contact me via pm, I live in country, and I can give you some names of people that may be able to help, if I am unable. I travel a great deal, so I am in and out of the country. :gr_cheers:

Before you go to Costa Rica, do your home work. there are many places to go some good some bad. I went to a place called Jaco on the west coast. Stayed at a place called Los Suenos. very expensive. i went with my wife the town was full of prositutes and drugs. I had heard nothing but great things.I was so disappointed and spent a lot of money to go there. The beaches were worst then Coney Island in NY. dirty, people just threw their garbage where ever. Costa Rica is a third world country and be aware of that. A good friend of mine was robbed of his passports and money. I never did get out to fish. It was too expensive for one person to charter a boat at Los Suenos. You can find a local to take you out and thats cheap. It has been discovered and because of that its not cheap any more. I could write abook about the place. but honestly I think I just went to the wrong place. good luck. If your not taking the wife its a whole other story.
