Welcome to Coast to Coast, where we explore Costa Rica with two anglers, across three fisheries, over the course of five days. Costa Rica is positioned within three distinct fisheries: the Pacific Coast, the sprawling jungles, and the Atlantic Coast. Together, Heather Harkavy and Curtis Ciszek explore all three of these fisheries in the ultimate fishing expedition. With just five days to work with, the team sets out to catch as many species as possible, all of which are new to them. First up, the blue waters of the mighty Pacific.
In this episode, Heather and Curtis set foot in Costa Rica for the first time. Upon arrival, they immediately dive headfirst into the culture, experiencing the sights, smells, and food it has to offer. From there, they make the trek west until they reach their oceanside stay and basecamp for the Pacific. The target species are billfish, for which Costa Rica is known. Here, anglers can target blue, black, and striped marlin along with Indo-Pacific sailfish. Follow along as the team dives headfirst into the grueling world of billfishing on the fly.
