Where offshore fishermen from all over the world
gather to enjoy the thrills of sportfishing.
We are located in Flamingo,
which is on the northwest
pacific coast of Costa Rica, in the province of
Guanacaste. Flamingo was the earliest sport fishing
area in Costa Rica. The first international Sail
Fish Tournament was held in Flamingo in 1982 and
our boat, the Scorpion, placed first in the tournament
with forty-six releases in three days of fishing.
Flamingo has beautiful
white sand beaches, four and five star hotels,
18 hole golf course, and great places to eat.
It's fishability is known over the world.
This is mainly due to the continental shelf
starting eighteen miles to the west of Flamingo
where the water depth drops from 360 feet
to 3,600 feet and a few miles west it drops
to 10,000 feet.
This drastic drop causes
an upwelling of cold water, bringing with it nutrients
needed to sustain a good fish population. |
