Fishing Costa Rica - join us on a sport fishing adventure of a lifetime.
Chumming is understood as a valuable deep-sea technique. Each year countless anglers board their charter ships--like the Dream Raiser--and toss carefully ground bait into the Pacific, hoping to tempt Costa Rica’s many fish to the surface.
And it works -- occasionally too well.
Chumming is the process of using fresh bait to lure fish near lines or netting. Sizable pieces are thrown into the water, releasing a scent trail that is almost impossible for Costa Rican breeds (like Marlins, Jack Crevalles and Mahi-Mahi) to deny.
There is a flaw in this idea.Â
When large pieces of chum are tossed from the sides of charter boats, like the Dream Raiser, they don’t serve as bait. Instead they become entire meals, with fish choosing to feed directly from them rather than snagging lines. Hooks are ignored and the chances for catching a deep-sea breed diminish greatly.
It’s imperative, therefore, that all anglers remember to limit the amount of chum they use. The pieces should be small and scattered throughout the day (rather than dropped into the water at once). A variety of baits should be used as well to target multiple breeds and increase overall numbers.Â
Chumming is a vital part of angling. It simply must be monitored.

Sport fishing is an adventure.Â
Without the proper rod, however, it can also be a disaster--with anglers left struggling with fragile materials and sagging lines, their lures spinning uselessly. The fish that flit along the Pacific prove too much for the unprepared.
Choosing the right rod, therefore, is an essential part of any deep sea expedition (like the ones offered from the Dream I).
A rod is more than just graphite and cross-fibers. Instead it’s an extension of the angler who holds it... which means it must be carefully chosen.
Consider these suggestions:
Deep Sea Designated
Every rod is different. Some are meant for fly fishing; others are perfect for light tackle trips. A deep sea excursion (like the ones provided by the Dream I) demands sturdier options. Choose rods that specify open water stability.
Breed Specialized
There are countless fish to find in the Pacific. Each of these boasts a unique shape and size, as well as strong survival instincts (which may lead to underwater acrobatics, like jumping, flailing or twisting against the line). Choose rods that are tailored for each breed. This helps to reduce reel strain and provides greater endurance against Marlins, Sailfish and more.
Modification Potential
Every angler has his own way of casting. A rod should reflect that. Find options that can be modified. Height, weight, balance and more can be realigned, adapting to an individual’s needs and streamlining the process.
