JOEY K GUIDE SERVICE The JOEY K Guide service is to help the shoreline angler catch the salmon of a lifetime. Joey shows you the ropes as far as tackle, baits, locations and techniques. Joe will be constantly yelling at you to "Get Down Stream!!!" Joe will wade with you and get you to all the hot spots. Coho and king salmon are his specialties. From late August until late in October the 30 and 40 pounders come into the Salmon river and only the experienced ones get to land their limits. Joey K will have you with those elite anglers. Call Joey at 315-387-3276 for the current season rates. You might just catch him on the river on his cell phone at 908-419-0138. You will have a good time with this guide. They offer a convenient bed and breakfast which will only cost you $25.00 a day which includes a generous and hearty breakfast. Bill and Pat Hiltebeitel run the place. For breakfast try one of Bill's Manhole Covers and let me know what you think. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Not the lap of luxury but they'd throw most of us out of a fancy hotel anyway. Too many fish guts hanging off us! This place will do just fine and for $25 bucks, you can't beat it. Check out the "Pink House Bed and Breakfast at 315-387-6276 |

| These guys have a great organization. They will make your trip
as easy and trouble free as possible. Book right on line. All boats come with radios
and life jackets.
(Don't laugh, some boats don't! There are some horror stories out there) This on-line sight gives you everything you need to book your trip including choice of boats and captains (with qualifications), along with rates and fishing reports. Their office is right on the marina and will have coffee and lunch waiting for you. |
| You can also book your trip with Pisces from home using your credit
card. This is more convenient than using or carrying cash. You can pay for it in
full at the time of booking or just put a deposit and pay the balance when you get there.
Using your credit card also insures the best exchange rate as the card companies
get the best rates. Much better than the locals give you when you are down there.

| Golfito Sailfish Rancho | Out of Business -0 11-2012 |
The Best Sport Fishing Experience You'll find in Costa Rica!
 |
This has to be one of the best places in the world for Sailfish. March of 2004 HRFA members Chas Stamm, Nick Mennona, Joe Curvino and Ken Carson made the trip down to the Golfito Sailfish Ranch. The place is set up just for fishermen. Out of business in 2011 But...It's for sale! If you want ECO Cruises and Jungle excursions for pleasing the wife, you may want to go over to the other side of the gulf of Dulce and go to the Crocodile Bay lodge. |
| This is on the west
coast of Costa Rica in the southern section of the country on the boarder of Panama. These are some of the notes from our trip: |
| We were targeting sailfish on this trip but I
was also looking for some good action with Roosterfish as well. We took a flight to Miami,
then to San Jose Costa Rica, stayed overnight in the capital city and then a 6 am flight
out to the Pacific coast of the country, very close to the Panama border. From there
we took an hour bus ride and then a boat to the lodge. Quite an adventure already!! This was not an easy place to get to! |
|
|
|
| In “Raising” sailfish, what you do
is troll lures without hooks in them. When a billfish comes up behind one of the
lures, you tease him closer to the back of the boat, lift the lure out of the water and
throw him either a fly or a live sardine. When he takes the bait, you hang on!
What an exhilarating experience. Fifteen times a day! I guess we averaged getting in the boat and releasing 2 to 4 sailfish per day for each angler. Roosterfish up to 25 pounds, Spanish mackerel, Dorado, pompano and a host of other fish made this a very special adventure. The sailfish were outstanding. |
|
| Joe used his fly rods for the most part and I
used conventional gear of a Calcutta 400 and a triggerstick to bring them in. Same
stuff I use for the Stripers in the Hudson only these fish were all between 80 and 120
pounds. If you want Tarpon, you go to the east coast of Costa Rica. If you want sailfish, you want the west coast. |
| The only down side of the place is that the
rooms had no air conditioning. That was not a big issue as the tropical breeze was always present. Still, when you came in from a long hot day on the water, it would have been nice to collapse on a bed in a nice cool air conditioned room. Guess I'm getting spoiled. Crocodile Bay across the Bay has Air Conditioning! The views from all the rooms give a breathtaking view of the Gulf every evening. Absolutely a magical place. |
I would still go back to this place...even without the air conditioning. The fishing was that good. But...I might try Crocodile Bay the next time.
