The Crew

Capt. Gerald Ruíz

Capt. Gerald Ruiz has been fishing out of Tamarindo for over 30 years. A devoted fisherman, Gerald has accumulated a wealth of local knowledge over the years and has composed a variety of techniques to suit the unique fishing conditions in Tamarindo. Gerald kind of takes fishing personally, and you'll find no one more committed to producing a successful trip.

The Fish

The Rainbow Runner 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.
