My name is Dan Ross Black Julien Davenport Jersey , founder and owner of Go Fish Costa Rica. I moved to Costa Rica some 15 years ago after having lived in Alaska, Oregon and a long stint in Zihuatenejo, Mexico. I was born in Ilwaco, WA, at the mouth of the Columbia River. From day one, my mother always said it was like I was born with a fishing rod in my hand. I started fishing in our local trout pond, conveniently located in our backyard. I caught my first salmon and steel head in the creek on our property Black DOnta Foreman Jersey , and spent all the early part of my youth fishing the mighty Columbia River.
As you can probably tell, fishing runs in my blood. I have been in the fishing business since I was 19 years old. I owned and operated a large fishing lodge in Alaska on the Nushagak River for 18 years, where I employed 15 captains and 25 staff members. During this time, I was able to travel and fish all over the great state of Alaska. My travels with my clients and fishing trips took me from Alaska, Oregon, and Washington to Mexico, Guatemala Black Zach Cunningham Jersey , Costa Rica, Panama, and as far south as Colombia.
Having been here in beautiful Costa Rica for the past 15 years, I have had the incredible opportunity to travel and fish in many of its outstandingly diverse locations. I have fished from the south end of Costa Rica (Golfito) to the North Region (Papagayo), and everywhere in between. I have also taken numerous clients to the Caribbean side of this easily-traversable country for very successful Tarpon fishing. By fishing in all these different regions, with many different captains and boats, my fishing knowledge base has expanded tremendously. I try to learn something new from every person I meet Black Deshaun Watson Jersey , from the size and brand of hooks, to the size of leader and leader material, to different techniques of hooking Bill Fish.
I have also learned a tremendous amount about the boats themselves, including which ones raise fish and which ones do not, there is such a difference in the many different types of hulls that are out there to choose from. There are glass hulls that were layed up with mass producing chopper guns and there are hulls that were precisely built by hand. Then you have your epoxy over wood covered boats that are some of the most beautiful Yachts you will ever see. Our fleet of Maverick yachts that are actually built right here in Jaco, Costa Rica are some of the finest boats we have for fishing. I love doing this because I love catching Bill Fish on my fly rod and take great pleasure in teaching clients how to do the same, all the while being able to share my passion.
Leveraging my different experiences here in Costa Rica Black Whitney Mercilus Jersey , I have had the great opportunity to match my clients with the perfect boat and captain for their skill level and fishing plans. Pairing my clients up with the perfect captain and boat is what I do best. All my years of experience as a professional fisherman have successfully prepared me for this. I know who owns all the boats and who all the captains are. It is very important that the captain has a great passion for fishing! This passion needs to course through their blood and they need to have been around fishing for most of their life in order for them to successfully take you on a fishing trip and meet all the challenges that entails (regardless of your skill level). The passion for fishing needs to outweigh the paycheck. The captains I work with all have years of fishing experience and truly LOVE the sport.
Whether you are a conventional fisherman coming down to hook one of the many species, or an experienced fly fisherman with my many years of experience fishing in Co
