costa rica fishing los suenos
Party Boats, also known as Cattle Boats, Head Boats, and 'Open Party' boats are a catagory of commercial sportfishing boats that instead of charging a fixed fee for the entire boat and scheduling around a small set of customers (Like a conventional Charter Boat-by the way the contract specifying the cost for a voyage and number of passengers is the definition of a Charter), charges a fee per passenger for regularly scheduled trips.
Like a train or plane, the boat has posted departure and return times, holds a set number of passengers, and charges the same fixed fee for all voyagers.
The numer of anglers on a trip depends on the size of the boat, and the cost of the trip.
The less the trip costs, and the bigger the boat, (also the shorter the trip), the more people will be on the boat. If the trip is taken during the local tourist season, and the trip is during the day, expect a large number of 'riders'(people who go out just for the ride-not to fish) and extremely novice anglers.
If you want to avoid the crowds take trip during bad weather, off-season, long trips, or 'limited party' (costs more hence fewer folks).
Etiquete is a MUST for party boat fishing for both your sake, other anglers, and the crew.
Always obey the Crew and Captain. Their goal is to keep you and all the other anglers happy, since with out your money they will go broke.
Most of the time, with a good professional crew, this is not a problem.Always be aware of those around you (right, left, and when casting-behind). Be knowledgable of local species, and local laws-DON"T EVEN TRY TO BREAK THEM.
Often a single illegal fish on a boat can result in very large fines for both boat Captain and the offending angler. When in doubt, ask the crew or release the fish.
Exercise patience, kindness, and courtesy. Cursing loudly, while common among most of us anglers when fishing alone, can offend others on a party boat.
Never drink excessively (if allowed at all). If your lines get tangled, don't get frustrated or try to assess blame-it goes with fishing elbow to elbow, and can be a good way to MAKE friends.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: HAVE FUN! A party boat is a great place to meet other anglers and 'trade lies' as anglers often do.
We have kept in contact with some of the people we have met this way, and they have become friends for life. Yes, there is more to fishing than just catching fish.
