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 set out to catch as many species as possible, all of which are new to them. Their next stop is the vast jungles and rivers of Costa Rica.
In the dense rainforests of Costa Rica, Heather and Curtis search for the mysterious machaca. The machaca, known for its human-like teeth, has a specialized diet consisting of fruits and seeds. With that, matching the hatch means getting creative. In this episode, the team searches the various creeks and rivers for the machaca, battles illness, and the jungle before heading to the Gulf. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
