Spanish/Sierra Mackerel Catch and Cook | Costa Rica 2019

Fishing in Costa Rica is in many ways similar to fishing on Cape Cod. Yet there are also many, many differences. One BIG difference is that here in Costa Rica, it is very possible to encounter good surfcasting action during the middle of a bright sunny day. On Cape Cod, the best surfcasting action is almost always at night.

Back on Friday January 11th 2019, I casually strolled down to the beach at the leisurely hour of 11:30am. As you can see in this video I had the entire black sand beach all to myself - with the exception of the local dog, Rocky!

Each time I step into the water here in CR, it is a completely different fishing experience. The action might be nonexistent one hour, and then just an hour or so later it changes dramatically with bait and fish right in the waves.

Lauren was reading her book on the beach behind me when I felt a sharp and strong strike on the line. I went to set the hook but I missed the fish. Luckily the fish stuck around long enough for me to make another cast. About midway through the retrieve I felt another strong strike, and this time I was on!

As part of the video I have included a little segment about filleting the mackerel, as well as a "cooking the catch" segment hosted by Lauren at the super simple kitchen in our little beach house.
