Your Captain

Junior Fernandez
30 Years on the Water

Born and raised on the Guanacaste coast, Captain Junior has spent three decades mastering the waters around El Jobo and La Cruz. He knows every reef, current, and feeding pattern — where roosterfish patrol the rocky points, where mahi-mahi chase bait balls offshore, and where the big sailfish run.

As a dedicated fly fishing guide, Junior provides all the gear you need — premium fly rods, reels, and a curated selection of flies proven on these waters. Whether you're a seasoned saltwater fly angler or picking up a fly rod for the first time, he'll put you on fish.
