Update on Sailfish Fishing Best Practices
In CR Fishing Charters we ensure that our crews are up to date with the best, environmental friendly fishing practices.
One update that we received from the sportfishing leading organizations in Costa Rica is that sailfish should not be brought into into the boat on the catch-and-release procedure. This creates less stress on the Sailfish and prevents the skin loosing its protective mucus.
We are eager to do our part on promoting this practice so that future generations enjoy Costa Rica sportfishing.
See below examples of how we did catch-and-release in the past and how we do it now.
