FYI Just back from trip to Costa Rica. Great place but a word for traveling fishermen. Security made me strip all the line off my reels when I was leaving the country. I don't think the guard was just being an arse,he was very apolegetic,just doing his job he said. Same might happen to other anglers who go there,so just a heads up to stow your reels in checked bag instead of carry on.
How did you do? I have a friend that visits Mexico pacific side for Rosters every year, and have some really cools stories. Maybe one day?Quote:

Later in tour fished a rain forest river and got a snook ...100+ miles from the ocean. If I ever get back there It will be for fishing only.
How could you help yourself, I know i would be in the doghouse.Quote:

I've run out of excuses to use. when I'm out there in a good bite, and have been late for something....:blackeye:....
That's one of the reasons my trips have expanded into the night....when there is more time to devote to that bite when you're lucky enough to run into a solid one.....
Thanks for sharing that toadfish...I was living vicariously through your trip as you were texting me....glad ya had a good time.....:HappyWave:
sounds like you had a fantastic trip, thanks for sharing. Did you take any pics?
I would be glad to post some of the pics I took but I am a total idiot when it comes to computers. No young folks around to help me till May.
Toadfish sent me the pics, posted courtesy of Toadfish....:HappyWave:
In this first pic this a big tree that fell down. The croc is about 3/4 of the way down and on the banks of the river. You can see it right where there is a curve in the branch halfway across and about 3/4 down.
