Roosterfish Roundup! Captain’s Corner Video with Diego Camacho

Roosterfish are a very popular target for guests at Crocodile Bay, Costa Rica.

We’ve had a great month here at Crocodile Bay and Botánika… with a full-house of wonderful guests! We had many returning clients come back to experience the new resort as well as lots of new friends and families staying with us for the 1st time. The fishing has been consistently good and our eco-tours and adventures have been getting amazing results and reviews with lots of animal sightings and jungle adventures. Here are some pix and video from Crocodile Bay and Botánika this past month…. Starting with two photos of our guest, Richard V. in the Osa Peninsula rainforest taken with the same tree 19 years apart.

Welcome to Crocodile Bay and Botánika, where the concept of “boat to table” dining has been taken to a whole new level. At Botánika and Crocodile Bay Resort, guests are offered an unforgettable culinary experience where they can catch their own fish and have it served fresh for dinner that night at the resort’s gorgeous restaurant, TIERRA A LA MESA.

Captain Anthony wants to remind you that our captains and mates are English speaking, local experts who all know where the fish are and how to catch them. Crocodile Bay provides world-class service and attention to all of your fishing needs. From novice guests on their first big-game sportfishing trip, to seasoned offshore anglers, our team will make your fishing vacation at Crocodile Bay is a pleasure both on and off the water.

What’s the difference between inshore and offshore fishing? Captian Anthony tells us that at Crocodile Bay; it’s all about the distance away from land, the depth of water we are fishing, the techniques we use and the species we target.

This month we catch up with one of our guest’s favorite Captain: Anthony Rhoden. Capt. Anthony is inviting everybody to come down and fish with us: no matter the season. Anthony feels there is a misconception about fishing in the fall. The green season gets a bad wrap because the people perceive that the fishing isn’t as good when it rains. That’s not true. In fact, the fishing is better during the wet season.
The captain explains in the video in this post.
