Jason Canin and his group were the beneficiaries of this white-hot bite.

Captain Fico kept scored throughout the month of March…check out this great array of catches from the 15th. They started with a nice Rooster Fish release by Kyle Sever.
Then they nabbed the elusive Blue Jack Crevalle, a rarity for this area and the source of amazing ceviche.
Team Sever then headed offshore and scored this excellent Sailfish release.

This tasty Dorado broke the ice early on, then Team Paulsen belted up to battle some nice Sailfish.

“We has a great weak in Nosara and will make sure to recommend you guys to anyone we know heading down there!”
