The rooster fishing has been awesome these past few months. We have been catching a bunch of 50 lb + fish, on live bait. The rooster are eating these bait up like candy. Double and triple headers are not uncommon. We have also been catching lots of dorado up to 15 lbs, along with football sized yellowfin inshore. Sailfish have also been caught every now and then inshore. The seas have been very flat since the end of August.
Last week I fished half day on the Super Fly and released three roosters, one weighing around 40 lbs. We had another break the line on a 15 lb spinning rod. And we had about 5 or 6 other rooster fish bites. They people I fished with were not used to fishing with circle hooks. One of the rooster took to the air as soon as it ate one of the baits.
I fished a half day inshore yesterday out of the Marina Puesta del Sol Resort in northern Nicaragua. We released 5 rooster fish in the 5 to 10 lb range, about 20 jack crevalle up to 17 lbs, and 8 sierra mackeral. The biggest mackeral was 12 lbs, which is big as far as macks go. The rooster fish and mackeral were all caught trolling. Most of the jacks were caught on 15 lb test spinning rods using poppers. It was great action watching the jacks fight over the poppers. Sometimes even the rooster fish are easy to catch on poppers when they ball up bait as the jacks did. |

The fishing on the pacific coast of Nicaragua is starting to heat up. As the winds die down the sails, marlin, tuna, wahoo, and dorado move in. The rooster fishing is still excellent. For more info got www.superflynica.com. Or e-mail Capt. Gabriel at bigfish@superflynica.com |

Super Fly Sport Fishing specialize in big game fishing adventures in the exotic waters of Nicaragua. Nicaragua has not been fished recreationally until recently, which guarantees its lack of sport fishing pressure. Our fast boats will quickly run you offshore to the humps and canyons, and an experienced crew will help assure you of a safe and successful trip. Choose to chase after roosterfish inshore or run offshore to hunt for marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and dorado. You will fish with first-class boats, tackle and crew. If you don’t like to fish crowded waters, you’ve come to the right spot.

Subject: Jungle Rivers Fishing Adventures Nicaragua snook
Jungles Rivers Big Game Fishing in Nicaragua , Fishing Report # 37 October 2002
The complete report and all the pictures can be seen at:
http://www.nicaraguafishing.com/rep37.htm
Long time since I wrote a fishing report..Was probably a bit tired of writing the same thing afraid also to be Boring for readers saying , than we catch Tarpon and Snook and Gar and tarpon and gar and snook..... well during all these months as usual we had good fishing and happy guests in the Upper San Juan River in Nicaragua , no problem ....
I will only talk to day of a very special Fishing Party organised by my fishing guides on the 18th of October ...
( Have a look at: http://www.nicaraguafishing.com/rep37.htm )
I said on that Morning “ What would be great is than I catch a tarpon to day on my new rod..It’s my bithday would really be a nice Birthday present...”
Well every body took my words very seriously...and no way to escape even if I had other comitment on that Morning...I had to go fishing with Augusto, Eliesse and Abraham..three of my guides aboard Julia Brava 1 ... we fished for 4 and a half hours close to San Carlos... we caught .Two Tarpon around 100lb release to the boat and also 5 Snook: 37lb , 27lb, 19lb, 12lb 10lb , plus 2 Gars around 20lb each...I really could not ask for more on the ocasion of my Birthday.. Thank Guys.....
The October News letter , The complete report and a lot of pictures on this special Fishing session are at: http://www.nicaraguafishing.com/rep37.htm
Fishing is expect to remain as good in the coming months..Obvious there will be some better days than other but anyway we will catch Many Tarpon and Snook during all of our trips... I really like to organise fishing Adventures there on the San Juan In Nicaragua because the deal is fair. Guests catch fish...
What I still wonder is why in October, November and Begining of December I have so few guests coming , every year it’s the same...Pity because Fishing is so good...seams than every body wish to come in December January, February, March...I know it’s a tradition for fishing trip in Central America as these months are very good for fishing...but sincerely I think people should also consider the period from Midle of May till November ..as in my spots I have very good fishing also in these months...
All infos on my Jungle Rivers Fishing Adventures and previous fishing reports ( 36 of them ) are in my
new Web page located at: http://www.nicaraguafishing.com/

Subject: NEW FISHING LODGE ON SAN JUAN RIVER
San Carlos Sportfishing
Fishing report # 28,. 28th of February 2002, Our new lodge.
Many people did experience and do talk well of the quality of our Tarpon , Snook, Rainbow bass fishing Expeditions.in Nicaragua , I did publish a lot of Reports concerning our Tarpon fishing : “ good all year round “ also many people speak well of the special attention we give to our guests during our trips... of our services... meanwhile I honestly confess than we were a bit short concerning accomodation so we had to do a special effort concerning this part...We made it..
Since two months when we go on Solentiname Archipelago for Rainbow bass fishing....we use HOSPEDAGE SOLENTINAME , ( the place of Ernesto Cardenal ) .This is a first major improvement as the place is very special ( so quiet, so far away ) and confortable...all guests who came do agrea on that.
The great new in this report, is than I have the pleasure to inform every reader than we have from now a very confortable new operation Base in Nicaragua. We will from now use HACIENDA SAN PANCHO located on the banks of San Juan River at Five Miles down River from the town of San Carlos.. The place is large, very confortable, ( 5 large Bed rooms with private bath and Airco...) With Great veranda all around, telephone, Satellite Tv in one of the salon...we can fish in front of the Lodge. Hacienda San Pancho offer also some additional activities in the 10 000 ha of the property as horse back Riding in the wild life reserve, or Bird Watching , every where...Guest can also practise some shore fishing from the deck for Wapote, Machaca, and Tarpon!!! Carefull the Tarpon ( average 150lb ) are to big to be fight from the deck, better to have a boat ready.. just in case...
Back to fishing, we went fishing on the 19th , 20, 21st of February with our friends Carlos and Dionisos , and a couple , friends of them coming from USA, We had Tarpon, Snook and a lot of Fun...in Saballo.( 45 mn from the Hacienda ) .
Preceding Trip from the 11th till the 16th of February as also been sucessfull with well Known Jeff Klassen ( His second trip with us , Jeff own several IGFA World Reord ) and three guests from USA... Same, a lot of Tarpon even some big ones on fly , Snook and Rainbow bass , specifically in the area of Saballo ( There is a rapid there with since the begining of February a lot of Tarpon ) and also on our more traditional spots of Upper Rio San Juan.. Close to the entry of the great Nicaragua Lake...
I have not been fishing recently in close Rio Frio and Cano Negro around Los Chiles in COSTA RICA ( another of our Fishing area )but according to friends living on the river banks fishing is not great actually there...

Web page: http://www.nicaraguafishing
Preceding fishing reports ( 24 of them ) at: http://pub25.ezboard.com/btarpon
After several sucessfull trips in January for tarpon , Snook, and Rainbow bass with guests from USA, ( Report #23 and # 24 )I spend two days relaxing and enjoying the so beautiful Granada and Hotel COLONIAL before the coming of this group...Granada is really a very very nice city , a lot of History, a lot of places to have fun and still a very few tourist...The hotel COLONIAL is a great place to stay...and also Guests do enjoy the great hospitality of Etienne its owner...
The Hal group of Anglers ( Ten expert fishermen from Texas ) did arive on the 19th Mid day at Managua Airport...with a lot of luggages..really a lot of Fishing equipment..no way to have everybody and luggages in the van of Hotel Colonial ..I had to hire an extra taxi... we went to Granada , and spend a part of the day at Massaia at the artisanal market... Dinner in a very nice restaurant in town in Granada, and discussion about Fishing..and equipment...
Early morning everybody had a nice breakfast in the patio of COLONIAL , a walk in town.. a transfert to the airport in the van ( this time I did had a big trailer for the luggage..) COSTENA Airline did give us an entire airplane for the 50mn fly over the Lake to reach San Carlos...A very interesting landing according to some of our guests...( 4 of the guests are expert pilots ). Augusto was waiting at the local Airport with an army of taxi ( Some old Russian made Jeeps ) and a part of our crew.. a quich lunch fixed by Dona Juanita and La doctora ...At night we had our traditional River scrimp dinner , each of the scimp is around 1lb..and have a unique flavour... Night has been at Cabinas Leyjos...,
Well fishing did start around 1 pm on that day, after Control of equipment.etc....Every body aboard the boat...5 boats, 2 angler per boat.2 guides in each boat.....I do not remember who caught the first Tarpon and how many we got this first half day...but many...
In the folowing days Fishing has been the same and very important for us “ all guest did have tarpon..” .How many Sincerely I do not know, probably around 30 release to the boat, 60 on line , 150 /200 hits....and all big around 150lb till 200lb...and released in a clean way...We also did break several lines...During these fishing days around San Carlos some lunch has been in Medio quesso, another very special place in the “ real Jungle “ where my groups are welcome... guests did specifically enjoy this place....
We then went to Solentiname Island to relax and change our style of fishing...We went for Mojarra, Machaca, and our now famous Rainbow bass ( 5lb/8lb in that trip..) we did brake many lines...Not so easy as it seem to get a 10lb rainbow bass even on 12lb ecen for an expert Bass fisherman....One of my guide made a “ scrupulous but unofficial counting “ in two days of fishing we had all together more than a Thousand fish..on light tackles....than we released with the exception of some Rainbow than we had for lunch or Dinner ..absolutely delicious according to our guests wether cooked in the French way ( I made the chief sometimes ) or in the expert local way done by Bertha..( a great person ) .I like to point out the great hospitality than we enjoy in Solentiname...the place , a comunity has been created by Ernesto Cardenal...a very famous priest in Nicaragua his fame come from his poems, he did Publish many books...internationaly known...Really the place is Unique with the paintings, the wood carver , the Thousands of birds...and NO TOURIST, NO CAR..., No doubts a Must see and so great fishing...
So many fish...to many fish... we decided for a last morning of Tarpon fishing in front San Carlos ...and at a time the five boats where with Tarpon on...The radios were screaming everywhere Fish on!!!
On the same day we did enter Costa Rica via Rio Frio a nice dinner, a night at Ecodirecta Lodge...Folowing day has been a relax day first an ecological tour ion Rio Frio and Cano negro then atransfer to the Arenal area.., the volcano...and a lunch in the so nice place of my friend Carlos with his 400 hundred big wild Iguanas...the day did end in another of my special places in the mountains with typical meals and a Birtday party with Candle Cake and Pinata..as it was the birthday of one of the guest...a lot of fun...Night has been in so beautiful bed and Breakfast of DON BETO in Sarcero...than I did hire for the group....
Folowing morning the group did left for USA from San Jose Airport.
I like to make some additional coments about this trip...It has been an event for us as it is the first time we had such a big group, usually we receive, two to six Anglers...It is not the same to have an expedition with 20 persons involved...it do need a lot of work
So First a big thanks to all my staff ( more than 20 persons ) who really did a great job with a special mention for Augusto...., Augusto Cesar you are a great Captain/fishing guide but also a great organisator...
Then a special thank to this so nice and sympatical group of Texas...really you are all great persons....and very very good Anglers...This was your first experience with tarpon you did it very well.. ( .next time I will try to fish with Popper for Rainbow bass with you )

Subject: TARPON FISHING TOURNAMENT NICARAGUA
TARPON FISHING TOURNAMENT IN NICARAGUA.
San Carlos Sportfishing Fishing report # 20
On the 13th and 14th of September has been held the 41th edition of the annual Tarpon fishing turnament in San Carlos Nicaragua. The first one has been organized in 1955 with interuption during the bad days time in Nicaragua We compete aboard my boat ‘Julia Brava” In this trip were participating my friends Bob Church from Canada , and Larry Hustler from USA , also my guides Augusto ,Walter, and Juan. … a good team as Bob is a very experience fisherman, Larry is very known in our fishing world, he is one of the pioneer of Sportfishing in Costa Rica…where he live since 26 years…For so many year so many people have been fishing aboard his boats from Quepos…like me he do not like so much to run an operation in a place witch is getting too busy so now he own a jungle camp on a seclude beach in Drake Bay..
We compete and did win as the new champion of San Juan river for tarpon, is Mr Larry Hustler we could not make it from a few pounds for the biggest fish but did win for number of tarpon and accumulated weight…( We also did fish two hours the day before the Tournament and Lary released a 140lb ) unfortunately only small 80lb in boat during turnament days…Why??..
Well we also had several “No doubts tournament winners “ on line in these days lost during the fight…Especifically one than I did lost at the boat doing a major mistake as I made it to fast as a boat was coming on us etc etc ….well anyway sorry for the Team aboard…
The condition where very different from my usual fishing…Normally there is no other boat on the river than Julia Brava. On these two days there where around 30 boats competing some very small some very big , some with rustic outfit some with the ultimate available tackles. From 12 footer with 10 hp to the ultimate Boston whealer Bertram and Co style with 500hp..these big yachts where coming from Rivas and Granada crusing the entire lake.
Anyway we had a fantastic time, a unique experience competing with all these guys..
What’s fun is than on these day the entire town is dedicated to the tournament..I mean for example than our plan for first fishing day was to wake up at 5 am but at 4.30 there was already a band walking on everywhere in town in order to wake up every body…not only fishermen, all town a major mess ( Town is more than 10 000 people ) We wanted to rest a bit as the night before there was a major party for the election of the Tournament Queen it was suppose to start at 7pm but nobody there so we went dinner came back and around 10pm all did start in a crowded place during the two days around 1000 persons where waiting all day at the pier dancing, with bands, drinking …to see the fish weighted. As soon as a fish was weighted it was disappearing, the guy from the comity where asking us: “ do you want to give this one to Hospital, or poor people, or the Army, to the jail? , we turn back a minute and then fish gone……,at night on day one was a major Dance with 1000 persons…I could not get in.. and then a final Party for giving the trophy an over crowded place with a travesty show, Delirious.. a lot of dance etc.., I have been fishing many tournaments, I never experience such a thing a lot of activity, a lot of fun…
For the fun part all has been much more than what I could ever think off, concerning the competition in itself it is very strange,
The Fishing organization is very special as there where two different comities, as the balance where far from being exact, as we still wonder what were the exact rules…Well with Julia brava we always fish strictly according to IGFA …but it seems than here only a few people understanding what this mean…Also we always Catch and release..but on these days we obey the orders of the comity we did enter.So simple rules what count is the biggest fish and the guy who catch the more tarpon…so CONGRATULATION TO LARRY AND DON HENRY SANDINO and thanks to my staff.
I am very short in English to describe this so warm so friendly atmosphere I am going to ask Bob and Larry to describe what they saw because really this morning it is like if I have been dreaming for three days… it’s been so different from our usual experience…
What I know is than definitely I will do it next year , I will not miss next tournament even if from a fishing ethical point of view all this is far from my ideas…
There are so many persons who have been fishing with me this year than I would have love to be with us…to enjoy that…Sincerely I have been thinking, talking probably of all of you with Augusto ….and if Jeff had been here…and Terry , and Lars..and..Alan, and Dave, Sam. Doug , Gaele, Etienne , Niko, Haldvan, Joyce, Peter, Julie, Fabien, Andre… Sorry I stop but for sure a special thought for you Paul. ( Was not the day to use 10lb…)
I am back in San Jose , Augusto did already call me, everything is back to normal so in the coming weeks we are going to enjoy our usual world class fishing in unique Jungle Scenery…
A major events for the entire world community did happen three days before this Turnament,, there is no words to describe our feeling except Pain a lot of pain . What I wish to be known is than here , in our so far away Jungle. even with this giant party around a lot of these Nicaraguan people, some very rich some extremely poor where totally concern and condemning thisact.

Report From Philippe Tisseaux E mail: cecnasa@sol.racsa.co.cr
Web page: http://www.nicaraguafishing
Preceding fishing reports ( 16 of them ) at: http://pub25.ezboard.com/btarpon
Report #17 2 days fishing 21 and 22 of July 2001 Nicaragua
We received our guests Tom and Eugene Kennedy at 10 am at the local airport in San Carlos as they where coming from Managua Nicaragua. We drop the luggage at Hotel Leykos and fishing did start around 11 am .
Fishing as been for two full days as on the 23 we also fished for 3 additional hours. I could not be part of the trip this report is done with the information given to me By Augusto my guide and guest Tom Kennedy
In total we report 15 tarpons Hooked 7 or 8 to the boat the biggest around 150lb...also some gars, and a big turtle..!!!??? .Fishing has only been on trolling, Tom suggest us for the future to also fish drifting down Rio San Juan with live bait on a float...For sure we are going to try it again ...We did it successfully in the past using Circle hooks and a relatively Big Sardina or small mojara or Machaca hooked by the mouth... with a float or nothing...This technique is very efficient but only if the tarpon are active ( feeding ) ...If not the lures are better because their vibration do make the tarpon nervous so it will attack this intruder on it’s rest territory..
The only negative point in that trip is than we could not eat any River scrimps as their fishing by local people was a total disaster during these days...Nor a single one in town or in our usual stop in the jungle rivers...
NICARAGUA FISHING Report # 18
3 day fishing/exploring on San Juan River August 3 to 6
That time hour guests Julie and Fabien from France came by San Jose Costa Rica so we drove to Los Chiles ..their goal was a few fishing and a lot of discovery... Jungle scenery, exuberant vegetation, birds, Wild life .meanwhile Julie had her tarpon 150 lb after a 1 hour fight on 30lb and Fabien had a 200lb and a 130lb also some gars...Fabien did surprise us a lot because he has his two tarpon release in less than 15 mn... one of them was a 200lb??? He confess than he is far from being an experimented angler...he did not put a lot of pressure on the line but Still!! I Wonder? He was fishing on 40lb but??
I also took a small one 80lb on 30lb as I wanted to experiment a new tonic for the next fishing Tournament to be held on the 12/13/14 of September...result has been Ok as in three minutes tarpon was to the boat...and released.
The most pleasant part of the trip for these guest is than we went down river to El Castillo where we did stay for a night.... Hotel is very beautiful there overlooking the river from the balcony of the room you can see the tarpon jumping in the rapids...while having a nice breakfast on white tablecloth . The village is small 300 habitants, it is very clean , very typical there is a very good restaurant...The fortress above the hill is in perfect shape ,the view over san Juan river fantastic...Really a nice hide away.. and a good fishing spot...we will be back there regularly in the coming month specifically for Snook fishing as the season is from September till January/February ...We did not fish for tarpon but they are abundant...problem is than it will be difficult to go lighter than 40lb there due to the presence of the rapids down river...so Dangerous. we will find a solution probably by fishing a miles or two up river...
Also the good news is than River Scrimps are back in San Carlos we had them for dinner...Better than lobster said Julie and she is an expert has she lived long in the Caribbean Islands of St Martin and St Barth...
Julie and Fabien left from San Carlos for Granada using the line ferry a long trip but with stops in Solentiname and Omotepe... Airplane is only 50 mn...
NICARAGUA FISHING Report # 19
Fishing on the 7th 8th,9th of August.
Our guest came from Granada where they where staying at Hotel Colonial. We received them on the 7th at the airport of San Carlos.5 persons came Lars Andersen, his son Eugene of 14 year old , his wife Maria, Martin Taylor and Brandon Bush so we had to use two boats ..Obviously Julia Brava and a local covered boat more comfortable for the lady than my open sportfishing style boat but this boat did not offer the fishing comfort of Julia Brava…the top was a big problem.. Well we had a lot of tarpon on line , several has been released to the boat... size as usual 100/150lb also Eugene the son of Lars took a very big gar 70/80lb.
The main events of that trip is than Lars Andersen Fishing with Augusto my guide aboard Julia Brava had a monster on line .we figure around 300lb..on 30lb .( AUGUSTO HAD A LOT OF TARPON IN HIS LIFE HE IS 40 YEARS OLD , BORN ON THE RIVER BANKS HE PERFECTLY KNOWS HOW MUCH A TARPON CAN WEIGHT WE ALREADY HAD SEVERAL OVER 200LB....) ) Guests also saw the fish ...on line only 1 minutes one or two jumps and Line 30lb broke as the spool of the reels did turn to fast so a mess of line in the reels...the brake was on, Alarm was on but this fish was really to powerful that day on that rod…......Well next time but what a pity.....
Prediction for the coming weeks....THE GOOD NEW IS ALSO THAN WE CAUGHT OUR FIRST “CALVA” ...NOT BIG BUT THIS IS OUR FIRST SNOOK OF THE NEW SEASON....USELY SEASON START IN SEPTEMBER TILL JANUARY FEBRUARY... So I figure the snook season is going to be great as well down in El Castillo , in front of San Carlos ..or on the shore of the great lakes.. For the tarpon I do not worry they will be there.. Gar fishing will be as usual...Also no problem for Rainbow bass fishing around the Solentiname Archipelago...
I invite all reader interested to share our fishing expedition to be in touch with me rapidly as I wish to organize my planning from now till the end of February...
I have many weeks available but also already have several reservations so in the months coming I will mostly be fishing and it is going to be more difficult to set up additional trip or get in touch with me...
PS IS THERE ANYONE INTERESTED TO JOIN FOR THE LOCAL TARPON SNOOK FISHING TURNAMENT IN SAN CARLOS??? around 20 boats will compete on the 12/13/14/15 of September
