Hey Guys,
I am a member living in Utah, heading down to Costa Rica for two weeks in Jan. I am taking my fly rod and also a spinning rod. I need a little help on surf fishing. I have read some good reports on Costa Rica from the shore for Snook and Mackerel and possibly Roosterfish and Tarpon if lucky. Have read about Mirrolures and Xraps, bucktail jigs. Any advice on sizes, other lures? Also what lb. mono or braid would you use and leader? I was thinking 15 lb. mono with 20-40 lb. flourocarbon leader. Any advice is helpful and if anyone has fished Costa Rice tips would be great. I am staying on the pacific side near Ocotal. I don't get much Salt fishing in Utah (trout guy) but I am more drawn to saltwater fishing everytime I am near the ocean. Thanks Remo
