"Cory Craig is simply the hardest working guide I've had the pleasure of fishing with.  He listens to his clients and goes out of his way to accommodate their wishes.  On a recent trip to Costa Rica, Cory easily juggled the challenges of guiding our entire family of five on one day and guiding me solo the next...deep water conventional tackle one day, fly rods on another.

Sailfish, Marlin, Roosterfish or something for the dinner table...if you're looking for a Costa Rican fishing experience that you won't soon forget, Cory Craig can deliver it for you."

"It has been my pleasure to have had Cory Craig as my Captain on the waters off Costa Rica on many occasions. Cory is a true professional; someone that is an asset to the sport fishing community as well as a devout believer in preserving our environment for future generations. Sometime back Cory introduced my wife and I to the Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf) off the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. Within minutes we were ‘hooked’ on the fishing as well as the natural beauty of the surroundings. Our photo albums are crammed with pictures of trophy catches as well as award winning smiles. If you are new to the sport I can think of  no one better than Cory to get you heading in the right direction and within a very short time you will have the confidence that only a true expert can instill. There are many out there that view their professions as a passing occurrence. With Cory his is a total commitment. For anyone considering an adventure with a true professional look no further than Tropic Fins."

"Ladies, Fishing isn't just for the guys!

Aren't you tired of your man coming home tanned and rested from a fishing trip with the men? Costa Rica is beautiful, tropical and romantic. A perfect place for an adventure in paradise for two. Cory Craig is a first class angler and teacher who will make sure you make memories that last a lifetime. Don't let this be the one that got away."

"This past January my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of fishing in Costa Rica with Captain Cory.  In one day we caught Roosterfish, Dolphin, Dogtooth Snapper and Sailfish (to name a few of the species). We still carry the pictures around 10 months later to show off and talk about jealous spouses!  We look forward to making that trip again in the near future.  Captain Cory's professionalism was just as outstanding as his ability to put us on fish.  We truly can't say enough about him."

I have been fishing since I was a very young man. Over the years I have been blessed to have found myself in beautiful areas of the world, fishing for all kinds of fish. By far the best fishing experiences I have had in my life have come in the last 5 years. Starting in 2000, I have been making my way each year to Puerto Jimenez Costa Rica for an annual fishing and relaxing trip. I have tried to go other places, but the lure of the beaches and fishing grounds keeps calling me back. There was one other factor as well that has made my trip even better. Starting in 2001, I started fishing with Cory Craig.

My fishing trips with Cory have been amazing. His passion and ability to fish make the trips I have had with him some of the best of my life. My first trip fishing with Cory was with myself and my father. We caught Roosters (too many to count), the largest one was around 60 pounds. The illusive Snook made its appearance with us. We had inshore days that would knock your socks off. With full boatloads of snapper, jacks, and pompano that just opened my world to a place where the ocean seems more alive than anywhere I have ever been.

The next trip found us expanding into the areas of offshore fishing. We have caught sailfish, Dorado, and tuna. We have had days where you just can’t keep the fish out of the boat. It just seems like every adventure we grab in the world of the ocean in Jimenez just leads to something new. The ocean just bursts with life. If it is not the fish you are catching it is the fish you see. Cory and I have swam with Whale Sharks, felt waves made by passing Gray Whales, we have seen schools of over 1000 dolphins, we have seen groups of Manta Rays jumping, flying fish, the list goes on and on.

In the subsequent years I have continued my fishing experiences with Cory and it pleasures me to see him expanding each year with his knowledge of the area, the culture, he and Cara’s family, and now into their own fishing venture. I can’t wait to be first in line to fish again with my friend Cory, that friendship that has lasted 5 years started with my father and I jumping onto Cory’s boat one morning. Once you do the same you will not ever regret it. As Capt’ Cory says Keep a tight line!

"I have fished with Cory in Canada over 12 seasons and shared a boat on a memorable sailfish day in Costa Rica. Cory’s skills as a guide in both fresh and salt are amazing. He has a 6th sense for fish and the eyes of an eagle. Quite simply he’s the best guide I have ever been in a boat with and that covers a lot of water."
