costa rica tarpon

[bigbri]

larry i am going to the rio colorado lodge in costa rica i have been there before and the fishing is great can u recomend some lures for me to purchase to bring with me on this tripwe will be mostly ocean fishing not in the river thanks hope to talk to u soon

bring sabiki rigs to catch live sardines, and 9/0 circle hooks to fish them on.
jigging spoons in the 3-5" range.
I'm sure the lodge has plenty of coast hawks.
I'd also bring some gamakatsu or owner trebles (3/0-5/0) to put on any of the lures you use, as they will increase your hook up rate significantly.

Be sure to post a report as soon as you get back! I'm headed to Rio Parismina a few weeks after your trip. Its further south than where you'll be on the Colorado but from what I can tell the style of fishing is pretty similar so I'll be dying to know how you do!!

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
