Why Some Boats Never Leave Costa Rica (30+ Bites a Day)

In this episode of The Science of Fishing, we sit down with a team that’s been running nonstop across some of the top sport-fishing destinations in the world—from Cabo to Costa Rica and beyond. They break down what it really takes to stay on the move full-time, including tournament strategy, boat management, crew dynamics, and how to consistently produce bites across different fisheries. The conversation covers everything from high-volume sailfish days in Costa Rica to targeting tuna and marlin, dialing in teaser and pitch bait techniques, and the role of preparation, teamwork, and experience at the highest levels of offshore fishing. We also get into the mindset behind it all—why they chose to keep the boat in gear, how they approach new fisheries, and what it takes to compete against some of the best crews in the world. If you're serious about offshore fishing, tournament strategy, or running a program at a high level, this episode is packed with insight.
