Crocodile Bay Resort Fishing Report May 2018 – by Allan Smith, Fishing Director Greetings from the Tropics, It has been an interesting couple of weeks with some very noteworthy catches. Rick Miller and his adult son Rick Jr. were down last week. They won the trip at an IGFA auction. They spent their first few days inshore chasing Roosters, then decided to make a change and see what was happening offshore. After a couple hours trolling, they were surprised by a very large Black Marlin. Rick Jr. fought the fish on stand up gear for two and a half hours before finally landing the...

Costa Rica Fishing Report Out of Crocodile Bay Resort, Costa Rica by Fishing Director Allan Smith – Greetings from the tropics. March has come to an end and it has been an interesting month. Historically, March is a month with very good sailfish action, but not much variety. This year we have seen the marlin stick around and we are catching yellowfin tuna two or three days a week. In the past five days we have released two marlin over three hundred pounds and caught fourteen tuna. There has been a good concentration of bait offshore and the predators have been taking advantage...

Costa Rica Family Fishing Destinations: Crocodile Bay Resort by Todd Staley The little Cessna rolled to a stop on the airstrip at Barra del Colorado. Out stepped a man and a young boy around 10 years old. “Welcome to Rio Colorado Bob”, I said. With a stern look he replied, “I prefer to be referred to as Dr. So and So.” I fed them breakfast and sent them out fishing. Later I saw the boat headed back in early and thought the poor kid probably got sea-sick.    We got the hook removed without too many tears, but the kid had no desire to head back out on the water to chase tarpon...

Fishing Highlights from January – Be sure to watch, you may be the star! Costa Rica fishing report out of Crocodile Bay Resort, Costa Rica February 2018 by Capt. Allan Smith – It was almost six-thirty. Time to go. As we walk down the path to the pier, clearing the last of the trees, we are greeted with a spectacular view of the Golfo Dulce (Spanish for “Sweet Gulf”). In the distance mountains stretching as far as the eye can see with ridges that encircle the Gulf, forming long beautiful flowing lines, running all the way from one end of the gulf to the other. A...

A Message from Todd Staley – Fishing Director Ever since I remember, I’ve fished and have been lucky enough to spend my entire life near bodies of water that held fish. My mom always called me a “Dreamer”. She was famous for getting her shoe off her foot and on to the side of a head in less than a second. At nearly 95, I think she has lost maybe a tenth of a second over the years. She still beats most Jeopardy contestants to the buzzer while watching the popular show. She also gave me the best piece of advice I ever heard. It’s really very simple, “If God wants you have something...

Costa Rica Fishing Report – January 2018 by Captain Allan Smith  – December is a fun time of the year at Crocodile Bay Resort, Costa Rica. The kids are on vacation and we get a lot of families down for a fishing holiday in the tropics.  As someone who grew up fishing with my dad and my uncle, I have always appreciated the way fishing brings families together. Fishing is a great way to spend time with your kids and is well away from the distractions of the television, the cellphone and video games. It creates a shared experiences in a natural environment and is...
