Captain Edwin
Fish Tale 2 CaptainCaptain Edwin leads Fish Tale 2 with experience, discipline, and a clear focus on doing things the right way.
With years on the water in Guanacaste, he understands how to read conditions, adjust strategy, and keep the boat in productive areas throughout the day.
As captain, Edwin sets the tone for every trip—focused, prepared, and committed to running a clean, professional operation.
His approach is simple:
Stay prepared, stay consistent, and give every trip the same level of effort—regardless of conditions.
That mindset is what separates a good day from a well-run one.
He also started with us as a 2nd mate years ago, and has worked his way to Captain.

Our Approach
We don’t try to be the biggest operation—we focus on doing it right, and being the best at what we do.
That means:
showing up prepared
adjusting to conditions
maintaining equipment
treating every trip with the same level of effort
Fishing conditions change daily. What doesn’t change is how the crew prepares, adapts, and approaches every trip.
Operating Out of Marina Flamingo
Our crew operates exclusively out of Marina Flamingo in Guanacaste, giving us efficient access to both offshore and inshore fishing grounds.
That allows us to spend more time fishing and less time running.
