点评:I am very sad to write this review, but unfortunately feel that it is more than justified. I want to start off by saying that my husband and I went fishing with Gerald almost 10 years ago. That was one of the best fishing experiences we have had, 5+ stars from 2015. Since our trip, my father has dreamed of coming to Costa Rica to go fishing for sailfish.
Fast forward, we finally made it happen for him. We booked our trip back to Costa Rica revolving around sailfish. My father decided to book two fishing days with this group. One day was a larger group so had to go out on the larger boat with a different captain.
Things sadly have gown down hill since our last trip. I felt that we were clear that the intention of our trip was for billfish.
We left the dock with no other information from our crew than a quick introduction. We did not hear another word from our crew until we had made multiple attempts to make conversation.
There was one sailfish bite after about an hour and we got very excited. The captain then left that area and spent majority of our trip trolling for tuna. We were fortunate to see many spinner dolphins, but not a single bite. We finally caught several skip jack and a small mahi the last 30 minutes of our day.
We tried to make conversations with the crew, but did not receive the typical friendly experience we have come to love in CR. There was no instructions or discussions about the fishing or what was going on. You would have to climb up to the captain's chair to recieve any information. The food available for lunch were sandwiches that were never put in a cooler and a jug of water, both left to bake in the sun. There were some sodas, beer and fresh fruit available. Our group was very hungry and dehydrated upon our return.
Needless to say we ended up canceling our second day to go with another fishing company out of Playa Flamingo. That day we landed 13 sailfish and a 60inch mahi. I know fishing is fishing, but wow what a difference in the experience with the different companies.
翻译:写这篇评论我非常难过,但不幸的是,我觉得这是有道理的。首先我想说,我丈夫和我与杰拉尔德一起钓鱼已经快 10 年了。那是我们经历过的最好的钓鱼体验之一,2015 年的 5 星以上评价。自从我们旅行以来,我父亲一直梦想着来哥斯达黎加钓旗鱼。
快进,我们终于为他实现了梦想。我们预订了以钓旗鱼为主题的哥斯达黎加之旅。我父亲决定和这个团队预订两天的钓鱼时间。有一天,人数更多,所以不得不和另一位船长一起乘坐更大的船。
遗憾的是,自从我们上次旅行以来,事情就每况愈下。我觉得我们很清楚,我们此行的目的是钓旗鱼。
我们离开码头时,船员除了简短的介绍外没有告诉我们任何其他信息。在我们多次尝试交谈之前,我们再也没有听到船员说一句话。
大约一个小时后,有一条旗鱼上钩了,我们非常兴奋。船长随后离开了那个区域,花了我们大部分的航程时间拖钓金枪鱼。我们很幸运地看到了很多飞旋海豚,但一条鱼也没咬。我们终于在一天的最后 30 分钟抓到了几条鲣鱼和一条小鲯鳅。
我们试图与船员交谈,但没有得到我们在哥斯达黎加所喜爱的那种典型的友好体验。没有关于捕鱼或正在发生的事情的指导或讨论。你必须爬到船长的椅子上才能得到任何信息。午餐的食物是从未放在冷藏箱里的三明治和一壶水,都放在阳光下晒。有一些苏打水、啤酒和新鲜水果。我们一行人回来时非常饥饿和脱水。
不用说,我们最终取消了第二天的行程,转而与 Playa Flamingo 的另一家渔业公司合作。那天我们钓到了 13 条旗鱼和一条 60 英寸的鲯鳅。我知道钓鱼就是钓鱼,但不同公司的体验真是大不相同。
