S.C.S Giant Tarpon fishing and snook fishing Trips in Nicaragua and Costa Rica , as described in FIELD & STREAM magazine.
Long time since I post a fishing report.. this one cover what happened in our Jungle river since the beginning of the year. .We are a small company, a guest told me recently than to present my activity I should say: “ We are a small specialized operation that caters to custom Jungle River fishing trips for small groups of fishermen “ that’s what we do .
My fishing trip for Tarpon, snook, Rainbow bass are in San Juan River ( Rio san Juan ) this Historical tropical Jungle river, is the border between south Nicaragua and north Costa Rica....Spot is UNIQUE because we can go for Giant tarpon ( 90lb/250lb+ ) any day, any month all year round....this is the reason why more and more anglers and now some celebrities.. are coming and coming back to fish with us.. even if we cannot offer Florida style accommodations...
Good new is than from July we will offer much better lodging with the opening of my new comfortable Guests house in front The Jungle town of SAN CARLOS and ..also with the reopening of Hotel Mancaron in Solentiname and finally with a new place down San Juan River in Saballo./Castillo.
Since beginning of the year we have been very busy . We are even more busy lately as many guest wish to come after publication of an article concerning our operation in famous magazine FIELD AND STREAM , Author Mr. Bill heavey as been fishing with us and article been published in May Edition It says: Alone in Tarpon Paradise. There’s a river in Nicaragua filled with thousands of giant tarpon and very few fishermen. in other words , go now. Link to article is http://www.marine-electronics.net/tropicalfishing/FAS.htm
Rumors concerning quality of our fishing are expending ( It’s not everyday than a new fishing destination appears.. and we have more journalist from other Media , TV etc than are coming... more articles are going to be published soon ...I wish not to be misunderstood I am not singing victory , etc etc... I think that what is happening is the correct prize for years of hard work for me , my teams and local friends.. ... anyway with me or not all this is going to be positive for Rio San Juan as it will bring more Tourism in an area and to people who really need and deserve it , this is the most important and what will remain.. ... Well so far it is quiet and very very lay back... I have no idea for how long time..
Back to fishing: it as been great for all guest, I will only say than since beginning of the year everybody coming ( 88 guests in this 6 first month ) had Tarpon on , Common size of fish between 90lb and 200lb some monsters also around 250lb .. I know many readers and some ‘dear Confreres “ are going to be very very suspicious about what I wrote to day about because it is about an exceptional spot with the biggest Tarpon in the Americas.. but all this is 100% true, if still in doubt please ask Mr. Roy turner from Magazine FEDER PESCA SPAIN.http://www.destinosdepesca.com/ , to Mr. Bill Heavey FIELD AND STREAM magazine http://www.marine-electronics.net/tropicalfishing/FAS.htm or to Mr. George LARGE Vice president of RAPALA http://www.nicaraguafishing.com/rep49.htm they all have been fishing with us recently, and got some 200lb... .., I was looking at The IGFA world record book recently i have the 2003 edition and I like to report than NO OFFICIALLY we made several time some IGFA line class record , 8lb in 12lb Men and Women, and all the children IGFA All tackle record for tarpon Boy and girl ( my sons...and friends..). In these numbers I may be wrong from a few pounds because we FISH AND RELEASE, we do not want to kill tarpon.. also since 2 months we do not use gaff anymore.. ( Thanks to RAPALA. new lock’n weight.) . well we .estimate fairly the weight of fish by measurement .. NOTE Due to an accident once we weighed one of “ our “ tarpon it was a 235lb pounder ...
I have written many fishing reports in the past about our giant tarpon and the fact than we are almost alone on the river.. I had many comments full of doubts of suspicions.. , nowadays Known specialized Sport Fishing journalist came and are writing about us I wish to thanks all of them ...and , as say Bill Heavey in FIELD & STREAM “Alone in Tarpon Paradise” The civil war is over in Nicaragua. The tarpon, unfished for 30 years, are hungry. And no one knows....
