When captain Warren Sellers began sportfishing professionally in Costa Rica in 1974, he was one of the first to do so. He has fished the Pacific coast of Costa Rica extensively from the Bat Islands in the north to the Hannibal Banks in the south. He chose Tamarindo as his home base due to its close proximity to the continental shelf.
With the angler's need in mind Warren pays attention to every detail. From choosing a boat that needs no mate and has 'fish around ability' for the flyfisherman, to custom wrapping his own rods Warren strives to give the angler the best fishing opportunities.
Warren has done two television shows that have aired widely throughout the United States and other parts of the world. One show for 'Outdoors Sportsman' featuring Bob Stearns on catching sailfish on fly. And another show hosted by Larry Schoenborn for the popular TV show 'Fishing The West'.

Tamarindo is located at the southern end of the shallow, plankton rich Papagayo Gulf on the northwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The Gulf is a breeding ground for tuna, therefore blue, black and striped marlin are ever present as their main diet is tuna. Tamarindo's close proximity to the continental shelf makes for a very short run time to the fishing grounds. Fishing for a variety of bottom fish such as snapper, roosterfish, grouper and amberjack starts at 10 minutes. It's a 20 minute run time to offshore fishing for dolphinfish, tuna, sailfish, and marlin. Fishing is excellent throughout the year. From December through April the waters out of Tamarindo can get rough due to the northerly winds. |
