The Crew

Capt. Manuel Leal

Capt. Manuel Leal, running the 36' Topaz Capullo, has been fishing in Tamarindo for over 20 years. Manuel started out as mate on the Capullo and quickly developed into one of the best deckhands in the business. Manuel moved up to captain in 2003 and has continued his practice of engaging clients' interests in fishing techniques and other aspects of fishing. Manuel remains committed to producing the very best in charter experiences for clients.

Mate Cheyenne Rosales

Cheyenne Rosales is First Mate on the Capullo, and has been fishing on the Capullo for over 25 years. Cheyenne is completely at home when fishing, and handles his myriad duties on the deck with the dexterity that only years of experienced focus can produce. No one has a better awareness of the minute to minute aspects of the fishing arena. He has the best eyes in the business, and is practically always the first to spot a fish in the spread.

The Fish

The Capullo is outfitted for both inshore and offshore fishing. Techniques include trolling, bottom fishing, and live baiting. Most offshore fishing entails trolling teasers, lures, baits, and baited lures for sailfish, marlin, dorado or mahi-mahi, tuna, and wahoo.

Inshore fishing will involve trolling lighter lures, feathers, squids, and plugs for jacks, mackerel, dorado, tuna, amberjack, and other species, and baitfish such as oceanic Bonita, blue runner, and skipjack. Bottom fishing for grouper, snapper, amberjack, shark, and roosterfish will use either live bait slow-trolled over shallow rocks, or baited bottom rigs drifted over deep rocks.
