  • The past couple months here in Costa Rica we have been plagued by red tide. It has been moving up and down the coast. This makes the fishing really hard and to add on to that we are moving into the rainy season which means big waves all the time. So it’s been tough fishing but I’ve still managed to catch fish! I hope you guys enjoy and subscribe to my channel!

    I have tried fishing around samara and haven’t had any luck. I also didn’t see any schooling fish. I am wondering if samara is a good place to fish or not also where should I fish on the beach I have two options on option is I can fish on rocks but there is a lot of snags or I could fish on the sand but there is bigger waves what would you suggest. Thank you.

      I went there once. I'd go to the south end of samara and fish the beach and rocks there. My bad for not replying sooner man.

    Great video thanks for sharing. I'm just getting ready for a trip to Costa Rica Jaco area and was wondering if I should bring longer 13' surf rods too or just an 8' spinning rod? What works best? Any tip or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    • @josiahknapp7198
      @josiahknapp7198  Рік тому +3

      I use an 8 foot rod cause it’s a very diverse size to use. It’s worked perfect for what I do so I recommend that. But if you’re comfortable surf casting with a 13 footer then you do you.

      @@josiahknapp7198 Thanks a lot for the quick reply Josiah. I think it's best to keep it simple and just bring the 8' rod and just concentrate on casting lures. It's easier to travel light and move around if needed. Cheers from Canada.
