My GF and I spent an amazing day fishing with Benn and Manuel on the “Good Day”. Benn was extremely knowledgeable, explaining the various baits and rigs used to entice a billfish bite. He had not even finished talking me through it when we hooked up on our first of 3 sailfish for the day, within the first ten minutes of fishing. We successfully caught and released two out of three sailfish. Manuel then put us on to a school of dolphins chasing baitfish and the ensuing tuna action was fast and furious. We ended up landing six of nine tuna in total; two by trolling baitfish, two on spinning gear using live sardines and two on a streamer using Benn’s 12-weight fly rod and reel, which he was kind enough to let me use. I really appreciated how Benn talked me through how to make the various presentations entice a bite and the best method to set the hook for each. He also did a great job documenting our day with pics and videos that he sent to us via WhatsApp. We will always remember our offshore fishing experience with Benn and Manuel onboard the “Good Day”; highly recommend these guys.
Hi Alan
It was great to have you both aboard. Thanks so much for fishing with us and im so pleased that you enjoyed. Loved watching you catch the Tuna on the Fly rod and those surface takes (explosions!!) on the live sardines were just awesome!
Hope to see you again soon. all the very best!

This is our second trip and second time fishing with Benn and Manuel. Once again the friendly atmosphere onboard the Good Day was awesome. Over two days of fishing we caught 8 sails, 5 tuna, and a big Darado. We were treated first class all the way! As a matter of fact, Benn went above and beyond — helping us get COVID test at the marina. We look forward to the next time we can get back to Quepos!

Hi Michael
It was our total pleasure to have you both aboard, thanks so much for fishing with us again and i am delighted that you enjoyed the fishing with the saifish, tuna and dorado.
Hope to see you again next year, take care and my best wishes for now.

Fishing with Benn and Manuel was an amazing experience. I have fished with many Sportfishing companies in many countries. It is not too often you get a lifelong Captain with 15 years on the same boat, with the owner, who has fished the World for years and accomplished what we dream of as a fisherman, as your crewman. We fished live bait and squid for tuna, boating 3 nice yellowfin, then switched to sailfish, going 6 for 7 with doubleheader’s on all 3 hookups. The boat was tip top shape, the gear too. The experience of spending the day with Manuel and Benn is amazing. I will be back with good friends for a 7 day trip. If you want an amazing experience, look these guys up, you won’t be disappointed, and will be back
Hi Mike
It was great to meet you and thanks so much for taking the time to write us a stellar review. It was a great day indeed having you, Capt. Glenn and Nicole aboard.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Thanks
Benn
I HIGHLY recommend Benn and Jackpot Sport Fishing. It was an incredible experience. Benn is very professional, kind, knowledgeable, patient, and will make sure you have a one of a kind experience. It was the best part of my 10-day trip in Costa Rica!
My friends & i came back to the states with a ton of tuna. It doesn’t get better than that! Can’t wait to do it again!
It was GREAT to have you guys aboard Chelsea, thanks so much for the awesome review and hope to see you all back in CR again soon. Take care!
True masters of their craft!! My fiancé lost a huge marlin the first day and Manuel and Benn went above and beyond and were able to somehow find another one for him!! This made our trip to Costa Rica and we can’t wait to come back fishing on the Good Day!
Hi Jesse - it was awesome to meet you guys and so pleased with the AMAZING Marlin on day 2, what a way to end the 2 days fishing!
Take care and hope to see you both here again soon.
Thanks!
Benn
Anyone looking for an outstanding inshore or offshore experience needs to call Benn at Jackpot Sport Fishing. As an experienced off shore fishing family we booked the Good Day for both off and in-shore trips. Benn knows his stuff, I learned alot and the family had an amazing two days on the water. Completely exceeded expectations. Thanks again Benn, see you next year.
Thank you so much for the great review! We really enjoyed having you guys aboard and hope to see you again next year!
