A pioneer of sportfishing in Costa Rica, Randy Wilson made Tamarindo Beach his home base because of its location: situated on the western tip of the northwest Pacific coast, Tamarindo offers the shortest running time out to the deep water beyond the Continental Shelf. These grounds are productive 12 months of the year for a large variety of species.
He specializes in fishing artificials and enjoys teaching anglers his manual drop back technique which Randy calls "rod tipping". This is a very visual and fun method to hook billfish and most anglers become converts once they've seen how effective it is! |

 Tamarindo is one of Costa Ricas most fertile fishing areas and is definitely the best area for marlin. An April 97 Salt Water Sportsman article. "20 Top Spots for Blue Marlin" included Tamarindo twice, identifying January - March, Punta Guiones to Tamarindo, and August - November, Tamarindo to Gulf of Papagayo, as the among the world's best venues for blue marlin. You can add black marlin, striped marlin, yellowfin tuna to 300 + lbs., dorado, wahoo, roosterfish, Pacific Dog snapper, and one of the world's best sailfisheries to the mix. |
