A note of thanks to the crew of Mad Marlin. I have been planning a trip to
Costa Rica for some time and had high expectations for the trip. The experience
aboard Mad Marlin was exceptional. "Memo" the mate was the finest mate I have
fished with in my 53 years. His expertise was apparent from the start. The
captain and he worked together flawlessly to help us score a boat load
(literally) of Sails and Dorado in our six days of fishing. The crew defines the
words friendly, professional and courteous. The boat is immaculate and well
equipped. I brought much of my own gear as on many of my prior international
charters, the charter has had less than adequate equipment. This was not
necessary on Mad Marlin as they have a wide range of excellent light to heavy
tackle. The only reason to bring your own rigs is to say you caught multiple
Sails on your rod. I have been a serious offshore fisherman for most of my adult
life and can say without reservation that this was the finest and most enjoyable
fishing trip I have experienced. I only wish we had a bigger scale on the boat
because the 7+ foot Dorado was likely near record size!
