Best Marlin Fishing Season Ever!

Best Marlin Fishing Season Ever!

2017 turned out to be the best season ever for Marlin fishing at Surfari Charters! We had about 8 weeks during August-October where we were getting Marlin encounters almost every time we attempted. Many people have asked us why it was better this season? Was it a stand out season or was it that we got better at Marlin fishing? We think a lot has to do with a favorable current that pushed onto Nicaragua’s Southern shores for many weeks in a row. That combined with a large concentration of FAD’s off of San Juan Del Sur made it an all time season. Yes, we definitely stepped up our game too, but it is not like we have not been trying hard in past years either.  It really was incredible to get up in the morning and get rigged up to battle and then actually get to go to battle!  Tropical storm Nate kind of messed up the water color and destroyed most of the FADs, but we did get two Marlin after the storm already.  Hopefully the current will keep cleaning up the water and we can get some more shots.

For a long time people didn’t want to bring their kids to Nicaragua thinking it was a little too “rustic” for them. Lately it seems like there are more kids than adults running around at sunset. Nicaragua is actually an incredible family vacation spot. There are great activities ranging from surfing, fishing, and horseback riding! Those activities are fun, but most Groms just froth out the most digging in the sand, giving their parents a chance to sip some cold Toñas! Next trip don’t forget to bring your whole family!
