Epic Sportfishing

Blog By NetworkChefs

Los Sueños, Costa Rica is one of a handful of destinations that is on almost every fisherman’s bucket list, and the excellent fishing scene is serviced by dozens of charter boats. However, if you are fortunate enough to book a trip there, you would be well served to contact the top local captain (and one of the finest in Central America) – Captain Mike Alligood of Epic Sportfishing.

Los Sueños is a 1,100-acre oceanfront resort located on beautiful Herradura Bay, just outside of Jacó. The resort has every amenity you could possibly need, including a luxury hotel, full service marina, championship golf, and a variety of restaurants and other attractions. And oh yeah – it happens to be located right on the best stretch of Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast for world class fishing.

Capt. Alligood fishes year round both inshore and offshore. The offshore fishing is focused on sailfish, and for good reason – during prime times, catches of 15-30 “Pez Vela” per day are common. However, the overall fishing for pelagic species is excellent, with blue marlin, yellowfin tuna and dorado being regular catches. Inshore, roosterfish are the primary attraction, along with cubera snapper, grouper, jacks and mackerels.

Capt. Alligood’s boat, EPIC, is the ultimate Costa Rican fishing machine. A 34’ custom L&H walk around express designed and built around a “no excuses” idea for pursuing your trophy catch inshore and offshore. It is completely rigged with everything necessary for safety, fun and a successful charter fishing experience.

At Los Sueños you can find everything you need for the ultimate Costa Rican vacation, especially if you include at least a few days fishing on EPIC with Captain Mike Alligood!
