Tarpon fishing Trips Rio San Juan Nicaragua Snook, Rainbow bass, Machaca....
January , February 2012 Good fishing for Tarpon , Snook as uual around Sabalo and Castillo but also close from La Esquina del Lago and Great Lake.. in Medio queso, Santa Fe, El Pitasso... Fishing will be the same till minimum end of June ..
Testing New Spots...October 2011 Went fishing three time recently with two of my guides in each trip we only fish 4 Hours.. We caught and release 2 or 3 Tarpon... 9 to 11 Snooks... This happened on new spot we found close from San Carlos, not down river at Sabalo or El Castillo... Fishing on these new spots is expected to be the same in coming months...
5th of September 2011 In a few weeks..On the 14th and 15th of September will be take place the 51th Edition of Rio San Juan International Fishing Tournament we always win Trophies since we start to participate every year since 12 years... in the last two edition we did especifically well... We hope this year it will be the same.. This year we will have 6 Boats in the competition each with 2 pro Guides trained by San Carlos Sport Fishing.. and two or three Guests aboard... Preceding Reports & News is from January 2011... Long ago... I wish to clarified than as every year we also had good constant fishing in February, March, April, receiving Gests coming from all over the world...Fishing has been Slower after in May and June, ...These two months are in our full summer.. Very hot days, burning sun .. Few water in rivers .. So very hot water and tarpon become lazy.. Feed ( are active ) at Night .. We still got many but more dificult ... From begining of july river is growing and tarpon are on again.. Coming up river to Rio Frio and the Great Lakefrom the Caribean. July, August has been good months it will the same till end of April 2012 Note As every year fishing as been from where river start at Nicaragua Lake, ( San Carlos ..) and also as usually going down river to maximum el Castillo located 40 miles away. ( Also to End of River 120 miles away but this is another story..I will make a special report...) It is well known than on first 40 miles there are a lot of Tarpon all year round ... But what really count is not to watch Tarpon Rolling It is to have Pro Guides aboard than will put Guests on spots where Tarpon are Actives... Tarpon are Constantly moving location of these Biting area change constantly... A few days here a few days there Activity may be as close as in front of my San Carlos Lodge or in Rio Frio... Or at el pitasso, Santa fe, Medio Qesso, palo de arco, Close by La esperanza, la Gnoca, el Rodal del Toro in Sabalo, Close or in front of Castillo... At certain time of the year we will even go till the mouth of the river at San Jan de Nicaraga on the Caribean Coast ..120 miles away I remember of a trip in the past with Rapala and Shimano representatives for America when we decide to first start fishing down river around Sabalo and Castillo... For two days we saw many tarpon a lot of tarpon ... But No bite whatever we were doing or using... Very very frustrating ... I decide to come back up river and all start... We caught and release several 120/200lb close by my Headquarter La Esquina del Lago Being able to locate active fish is the Key of Sucessful Tarpon fishing Trips on Rio San Juan.... Mobility is a Must When we go down river in order to avoid long ride and be on spots as early as 5 am, we stay in very nice places directly located on River Banks as Hotel Sabalo of Mr Parales Family, Sabalo lodge of Mr Choisel Praslin , or Hotel Victoria in El Castillo.... Almost six years than we use these places Guests have never been disapointed.. Good Lodging... Good meals... Owners who care
January 2011 We have been very buzy all months Many Guests from USA, France, Canada, Finland.... Same good fishing for Tarpon on upper rio San Juan Tarpon 90lb / 200lb, Biggest snook 20lb and Rainbow bass fishing in close from lodge Solentiname Archipelago is now fine Fishing conditions will be the same till Minimum end of April 2011
December 2010 1) We had great Fishing for Tarpon in August, September, October receiving several Groups from USA, France, Mexico, El Salvador,Costa Rica ... Level of River is very high this year....Reason why Thousands of Tarpon are coming up river from The Caribbean sea... I have no doubt than this good fishing will go on in January, February, March, April in coming year 2011 ... I have availabilities in these months... for Party from 1 till 12 Anglers Pricing will be the one of Old Rate
2) International TARPON TOURNAMENT Edition Number 50th has been held on the 13 and 14th of September 76 Anglers registered in the Tournament coming mostly from Costa Rica Concerning Tarpon This year for the first time there have been two Categories Weighted Tarpon First 140lb, second 140lb, Third 125lb, 110lb, 95lb, etc... Minimum size of fish to Qualified has been 60lb
Category Released There have been a bit of Confusion.. as Rules were not so clear ... Video.. Photos Winner boat of Mr Gabriel Chamoro For next Tournament Comity will make a special effort in order to establish clear rules for the catch and Release Category as it is the Future.... For Snook Category even if many snook has been caught fishing has not been so good as winner fish only weighed 11 lb... Also poor result for Rainbow bass ( To high Water ) has bigger fish has been 5 lb... San Carlos Sport Fishing team did well has winner of a total of 6 Trophies.
3) I already have Booking for high season ( January, February, March, April, 2011 ) . I have a limited capacity per week ( Max. 8 to 12 Anglers ) in order to preserve my quality of Service and Fishing It is Time to be in contact for your reservation.. for Party of 1 till 12 Anglers if Reservation made before the End of November We will use the old Rate
4) New Rate will be on line at the end of November...
5) SPECIAL OFFER on all Include Package from Managua ( Nicaragua ) or San Jose ( Costa Rica )
6) We always try to find new spots... In 2009 we started to organize new Special fishing Trips Adventures Starting at Nicaragua Lake but going also all the way down Rio San Juan.. This is a mix than we offer Fresh and Salt Water First we fish our Traditional areas then we go All the way down San Juan River 120 Miles to the Caribean sea....Where we also fish at sea Trips have been successful in all 2010 ... We will go on in 2011
7) TARPON SAT TAG PROGRAM ON RIO SAN JUAN... RESULTS OF THE STUDY SAT TAG Rio San Juan Tarpon Reason of Presence of Giant Tarpon all year round at 120 miles from sea in Fresh water of Rio San Juan and Nicaragua Lake is somewhere strange and call the attention of Marine Biologist Thanks to Miami University, Tarpon To morrow Foundation, in January 2009 we made the first Sat Tagging of our Giant Tarpon.... Tarpon have been released with a small transmitter on the back so could have been traced by a NASA Satellite Through an order via satellite tags has been released and transmit results .. We have now available information upon movement of fish .. Activities.. Second per second during several Months... Point is than all released fish around Saballo - El Castillo ( on Rio San Juan at 85 Miles from sea ) immediately went back to sea ( Caribbean ) We thought than then fish will go North... On the contrary all of them went down South. Tags being released in southern Costa Rica and Panama We learned a lot from this study for example than tarpon ideal Temperature is around 76 Degree... Moves of Tarpon are according to variation in Temperature...Lucky we are in Rio San Juan and Nicaragua Lake as year water temperature average is precisely around 76 Degree ...As all year round we have around lots of Sardines we start to understand why Tarpon comes and some stay here...We now monitor the river temperature. It is amazing to see than a few change in Temperature have influence on Tarpon activity..

TARPON FISHING VACATIONS Rio san juan NICARAGUA COSTA RICA Tarpon fishing trips on RIO SAN JUAN San Juan River - Rio San Juan Border river between Costa Rica and Nicaragua
TARPON FISHING IN RIO SAN JUAN. NICARAGUA LAKE, SOLENTINAME ARCHIPELAGO River is 120 miles long, start in Nicaragua Lake , it is the only communication of the Great Nicaragua lake ( Cocibolca) with the sea.( Caribbean ) . Nicaragua lake 100 miles x 70 miles is the greatest lake in Central America it is "World famous for the presence of Salt water fish in it's Quiet Fresh water Giant Tarpon, Saw fish, Shark, Snook..????? Obviously also Fresh water fish are present as Rainbow bass, Mojara, Gar, Machaca.. A Strange mix at 120 miles from sea???? witch fascinate famous Investigators: Commandant Jacques Yves Cousteau came here studying in El Banco de Arena precisely at the corner of the Lake with Rio Frio and Rio San Juan where my Fishing lodge is located... Also Thomas Thornson from University of Nebraska , studied for many years wrote a book "The fish of Nicaragua Lake" We observe all year round a tremendous quantity of Tarpon size 60lb/250lb+, going up and down river..., there is no specific month, this is all year round. Usual catch are 90lb till 200lb ...and bigger.. Some Tarpon migrate... some stay around for a while but will return at sea... feeding is easy they become very very big. Due to tannin in the water these giant fish are different color than the common Silver King. The biggest tarpon here are black on the back and dark green/golden on the side... It will sound absolutely Incredible but we released fish estimated close or more? than 300lb. All our fishing trips are in quiet Jungle River.. There are no waves here, no hard Bara to pass, we always fish in quiet fresh water aboard Sport fishing boat with central T Top... TARPON FISHING , Conventional or Fly is on light tackle We generally fish trolling then casting once we locate the "Active fish"... I mostly use Rapala Lures as Super Shad Rap SSR14, or Floating Magnum 14 and 18. We troll, we cast, we also fly fish ...All depend of Guest expectations. For beginner Tarpon anglers we use 25lb 40lb lines...Specific conditions and Guides knowledge allow Anglers to fish with light tackle... . With good technique these tackles are strong enough whatever the size of fish. Fly fishing is available in specific area...We use number 12, 13, 14...these fly heavy equipment are necessary due to size of fish but for tippet you decide. Many time "'we have been beaten IGFA Tarpon World Record .." 12lb, Men Women Junior...Reason why "these record" are not official is than we do not want to kill Tarpon ..witch unfortunately is a must with I.G.F.A Actual World Record Rules. A 200lb tarpon is around 25 years old would be a real pity to kill such a creature... We Catch and Release all Tarpon. Calculated on 9 years of activity, our average day for tarpon fishing is 10 bites...6 fish jumped, two/ three release to the boat. At my knowledge this situation of top Tarpon fishing all year round is Unique in the world. I insist there is no real best time in the year to come...Tarpon are present all year round... RAINBOW BASS FISHING (Panachronis Dovii ) . A very strong fish, very violent .. a lot of fun on light tackles. We go for them at Solentiname Archipelago on Nicaragua Lake..., 20 minutes away from our fishing lodge. World record for this fish: 14lbs is in Nicaragua... It has been overbeaten last year 1999 by a 24lb and an 18lb Still in Nicaragua...I do not know if these record have been officially registered at IGFA. For Rainbow we fish as well Conventional or Fly...Usual size of fish we catch is between 5lb till 10lb , We like to fish on light tackle but 8lb is to be consider as a minimum. When we go for these fish we also catch incredible quantity of Bass, and Mojara.. 2/3 lb SNOOK FISHING. Sometime caught in Solentiname archipelago , Close from Lodge in Santa fe ( Last International Tournament 2009 ) down Rio san Juan in the area of Sabalo, Pocosol, El Castillo. Two kind of Snook are present here, the Calva...up to 6/7lb and then the big Cola Amarilla. So far our biggest weighed snook is 42 lb. .we report several fish estimated close or bigger than 50lb lost to the boat Considering lodging during your fishing vacations in San Juan River and Solentiname there are a lot of Recent Changes. A few years ago there were absolutely nothing. In 2005 I built a comfortable Fishing Lodge "La Esquina del Lago" at the corner of the Lake with Rio San Juan Apart from my Fishing Lodge located in Wild life Reserve of Los Guatuzo in front of San Carlos, several nice other hotel opened on River and Lake shores, in Solentiname Archipelago, Saballo, El Castillo, we may go and stay there all will depend where best fishing is when Visitors come.. all these places offer , comfortable lodging and good meals... FISHING VACATIONS... DISCOVERY IN UNIQUE JUNGLE SCENERY. The area offer fantastic discovery for Nature lovers: Virgin Jungle Wild Life , Bird watching, Historical site..... ...Very important Local people are very very friendly with the still few tourist coming...For lunch time we stop at their places ..share a bit of their life... Fishing trips I offer are obviously different from usual Fishing vacations offered in Costa Rica and Nicaragua... My lodge La Esquina del Lago is our Headquarter but we move, in a 100 miles area..so we sleep on Spots in other Hotel.no long boar ride.. Between August and November we also may go till the Caribean sea 120 miles away going down all Rio San Juan .... I am pleased to offer a mix made of Top fishing, Tropical Jungle life, Adventures, History, Discovery. and contact with Local people.. I have special attention for good lodging and meals. Also very important is the integration in the local life: we eat on the river banks at Rancho or home of friends, we go in town, at the market.. etc etc.. One of my guest told me than to describe my trips I should say:" Why only fish when you can have much more..." Nicaragua is nowadays a safe and quiet country It is still an AUTHENTIC DESTINATION... Time to come ...Country start to open to tourism... Area is easily reach from San Jose Costa Rica with a 5 hours car Transfer... Faster and easier transfer from Managua with a 50mn flight over the lake to the town of San Carlos ( 2 flights a day ) Airport is 10 mn away from my lodge.. If Visitors wish we meet them at International airport of San Jose or Managua on arrival. I recommend to use one of My all Include Discovery&Fishing Package
