2008 Billfish Adventure
 Costa Rica was aptly named ‘rich coast’ by Christopher Columbus in 1502. With its many beaches and temperate climate it is an anglers paradise. Costa Rica fishing offers a great variety of fish such as sailfish, marlin, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish, dolphinfish. Over sixty-four world records have been caught in Costa Rica, and that number is growing every year.
Captain Warren Sellers realized Costa Rica's potential as one of the world best fishing destinations as early as 1974 and became one of Costa Rica's first sportfishing captains. He has fished the Pacific coast of Costa Rica extensively, from the Bat Islands in the north to the Hannibal Banks in the south. He is extremely well known and respected in the sportfishing world and has appeared in several sportfishing magazines and television shows. Today he has chosen the two top Costa Rica fishing spots and is looking forward to sharing them with you.
 Join Captain Warren on the 2008 Billfish Adventure in Flamingo/Tamarindo, or in the 2009 Billfish Adventure in Carrillo. Experience the excitement of catching and releasing a giant marlin, or hooking a hundred pound sail with conventional or fly fishing tackle with Costa Rica's pioneer captain.
Warren's 31 ft Bertram 'Bad Dog' , the ultimate fishing machine, is powered by twin 300 HP inboard Cummins, with all safety equipment, Furuno Chart Plotter and Fish Finder, marine toilet, fighting chair, tower, Penn International Reels and fly fishing equipment. It can comfortably accommodate up to 4 anglers.

 "I recommend Warren Sellers as one of the best fishing captains operating in Costa Rica. Honest, knowledgeable, energetic and reasonable in his fees."

"Having fished Kona, Cozumel, Venezuela, Salinas, Puerto Rico, and several less exotic places I can truly say that the best of the best is with Captain Warren Sellers in Tamarindo. Cpt. Warren is a pioneer in billfishing Costa Rica and brings his skill and knowledge to the boat each day. Fishing a large center console boat without a mate has made Cpt. Warren a master of efficiency. To experience a hook-up, the battle, and the release of a great fish from such a perspective is a never ending thrill which has forced my return for more than 15 years.. This is as close to a fishing "sure-thing" as is possible."

"Capt. Warren Sellers is one of Costa Rica's most experienced skippers. Comments from the many customers we've sent to him over the past 11 years confirm what we already knew - he's one of the best in the business."
Doug Schlink, Angler Adventures
“Warren is the best all around fisherman I have ever fished with, from all perspectives. I assess his skills from an educated view since I was a mate for many years on a charter boat. His ability to locate fish and understand what will make them bite is uncanny. Further, the number of fish in Costa Rica off the Bat Islands or Tamarindo is eye popping. This is the best place in the world to catch a wide variety of species that include Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Dorado, Wahoo and more. In my several trips with Warren we have caught more fish, big fish with him that I have caught in all my years combined. Warren is easy to get along with and a great person. If you want to catch fish and have a great adventure, fish with Warren!”

"... On August, 2003, I got my first blue marlin (500lb) and made two hours of stand-up fight. Truly my first experience. Captain Warren gave me a perfect fighting platform with excellent boat maneuver. The fight was very exhaustive but the fish was quickly released and returned to the depth of Pacific ocean. I recommend Captain Warren if you pursue world-class fishing."

Great time! We caught 6 sails, and plenty of dorado that we brought home. Warren and Eddie were awesome, we couldn't have asked for a better crew.

We had a fabulous time. The Sailfish were amazing. Tell Warren we all had a great time and look forward to another trip in the future. I used one of my photos as my screen saver on my computer. I dream of the trip every day.

"Wanted to tell you that we enjoyed fishing with Warren very much. It was great to fish with someone who is that experienced but still took the time to teach and explain. My daughter, 15, hadn't fished since she was 8 years old but in large part due to Warren's abilities with the boat she was able to boat her first sailfish."
