Tropical Gar - San Carlos Sportfishing, Phillippe Tisseaux

For those who have the opportunity to travel far afield, Phillippe Tisseaux of San Carlos Sportfishing can lead you to massive Tropical Gar in wild and beautiful Costa Rica. Fishing Nicaragua Lake, the Rio Frio, Caño Negro, and the San Juan River, Phillipe averages five gar per outing. The exciting "by-catch" on these outings is often massive tarpon or snook. Gar are caught year round, but fishing seems to be best during the dry season, from January to June. The aggressive tropical gar are more than willing to smash a lure or race off with live bait.
