Los Suenos, Costa Rica

As much as I like the frigid temps and stiff winds on Long Island in our winter months🙄, I do love a Costa Rican getaway. Im not sure if I'm able to make it this winter but here are a few pics from the past trips. We stay in Los Suenos about an hour taxi ride south of San Jose and rent golf carts for getting around the grounds. You can take a taxi if you want to leave the complex (which is a MarriotResort) but pretty much everything you need is on site. You can charter boats right there but obviously setting things up before you leave makes much more sense especially if days are limited. If you've been there, then you know why I love it...If you haven't maybe one year you'll get to enjoy it. The offshore varieties which we catch on a regular basis include sailfish, bluemarlin, black marlin, mahi, and yellowfintuna. Inshore there are roosterfish, amberjacks, cuberas, along with a variety of snappers and grouper just to name a few.

The 550lb black marlin was caught by Danny Azzato while fishing for snappers a reef using a trevala rod and accurate 600. It took an hour and a half to land(y)
