Wilderness Sportfishing Destinations

Uncharted. Untamed.

All Destinations – Costa Rica | Panama | tahiti | galapagos | compare all

Don’t follow the crowds – go where there aren’t any.

Every place I take you has one thing in common: it’s somewhere most anglers will never go, not because they wouldn’t want to, but because they don’t know how to get there or who to trust once they arrive. These aren’t spots you find in brochures. There are no crowded marinas, no rushed itineraries. Just open water that still feels wild, where the fish behave the way nature intended, unconditioned, and unforgettable.

What you’re really getting when you fish with me isn’t just a location. It’s over 40 years of knowing exactly where to go, when to go, and what to do when you get there. That’s not something you can Google.

Costa Rica Sport Fishing

Costa Rica is where I started, and it still fishes better than almost anywhere I’ve been since. The southern Pacific coast around Golfito stays protected when trade winds shut down the rest of the country, which means year-round action on sailfish, marlin, roosterfish, tuna, wahoo, and more.

Offshore or inshore, there’s always something happening. And the backdrop, rainforest, macaws, Corcovado National Park, doesn’t hurt.

Availability	Year-round, best booked 3+ months ahead
Species	Sailfish, marlin, roosterfish, snapper, mahi-mahi
Best For	First-time remote anglers, families, mix of inshore and offshore

Panama Sport Fishing

The Wilderness Lodge here has no road access, you get in by boat, and that’s the point. I’ve fished Panama’s Pacific coast for years and there are stretches of water there that still feel completely untouched.

Scattered islands, pristine reefs, and not another angler in sight. If you want the most off-grid experience I offer, this is it.

Availability	Spring & summer 2026
Species	Sailfish, marlin, wahoo, trevally
Best For	Serious anglers & off-grid adventurists

Explore Panama

Tahiti Sport Fishing

Halfway between California and Australia, and as far from the fishing crowd as you can get. The atolls out here, 118 of them, hold marlin, wahoo, tuna, and dorado in water so clear it barely looks real.

No hotels, no other boats, no noise. Just you and some of the most extraordinary fishing I’ve ever seen.

Availability	Fall 2026 – limited availability
Species	Bue marlin, wahoo, dorado, yellowfin
Best For	Bucket-list anglers, true wilderness seekers

Explore Tahiti

Galapagos Sport Fishing

I’ve fished a lot of places, and the Galapagos is still something I struggle to put into words. On a good day off San Cristobal, you’ll see 30 to 50 striped marlin.

The nutrient-rich currents that make this place a UNESCO World Heritage site are the same ones that drive the most concentrated big game fishing I’ve ever witnessed. Blue marlin and black marlin round it out. There is simply nowhere else like it.

Availability	Inquire for availability
Species	Blue marlin, striped marlin, black marlin
Best For	Big game trophy anglers, experienced fishermen

Explore Galapagos
