Jungle Tales. Chasing Tarpon in Barra
If you think fishing is relaxing… you’ve never chased tarpon in Barra.
On the wild Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, the small frontier town of Barra del Colorado sits where jungle rivers collide with the open sea. Here, 150-pound tarpon explode from dark water without warning. Lines snap. Rods bend to their breaking point. And every cast could be the fight of your life.
Out beyond the breakers, in just eight to ten feet of water, the captain’s fish finder lights up.
“There are fish down there.”
Your heart pounds. The line comes tight. Then the Silver King launches skyward in a violent, chrome flash.
But Barra isn’t just about fish.
Strange boats drift along the docks. Quiet men work under a blazing sun. Not every story is told out loud. In this isolated corner of Costa Rica, danger and beauty live side by side—and the line between adventure and risk is razor thin.
Jungle Tales. Chasing Tarpon is fast-paced, immersive, and raw. It’s a book about obsession, adrenaline, frontier towns, and the relentless pursuit of one of the most powerful gamefish on earth.
