How Sports Fishing Changed My Life

I’m Lisa Montgomery and as of 10 years ago with my first serious fishing trip I fell in love with sports fishing. I went to Alaska and was in a remote and pristine region. My family and I had no distractions. There was the sheer beauty of the earth and sea – friendly, kind people – IT CHANGED MY LIFE.

Why? Because sports fishing is not just about the fishing. It is about your friends or the people you meet on the boat. It is about the captain and crew that are great with people working hard for the best fishing day you’ve ever experienced. It is about the travel to get there, the great food, and the dead sleep at the end of the day. It is also about the photos taken and the experience you have with Mother Earth.

My favorite place to fish in Alaska is Kodiak Sportsman’s Lodge in Old Harbor on Kodiak Island. The lodge is comfortable with a great staff, fantastic food and the best fishing in Alaska! Fishing 30 miles of straights for king salmon, halibut, ling cod, silver salmon, yellow eye, and sea bass makes for great days of wildlife viewing on the banks and in the water. This is a wonderful trip to take during the heat of the summer and to get away from it all. Your cell phone won’t work here! I will be fishing for a trophy king salmon this June, feel free to come with me!

Costa Rica is another beautiful place with an abundance of sailfish, marlin, tuna, wahoo, dorado, rooster fish, cubera snapper and many types of Jack fish. My preference is Los Suenos Resort and Marina as the fishing is great, run times are only an hour to the offshore fishing and there are many amenities for those that don’t fish. Face it, who is going to let you go to Costa Rica in the cold of the winter and leave them behind? If you get your fill of fishing there are multiple adventures in the neighboring rain forest to keep you busy!

I am hosting and escorting a group to Los Suenos in Costa Rica March 13 – 18, 2012. This is fishing a friendly tournament with the catch and release of billfish. My packages include round-trip airport transfer, 5 nights accommodations at Los Suenos, 3 days fishing, tournament welcome dinner, VIP cocktail party, tournament fees, tournament awards dinner. Give me a ring and I’ll be happy to help you!

I now have the daily pleasure sharing these experiences by speaking, blogging and sending new friends to the most beautiful places in the world. If there is an adventure you would like to take, let me know and I’ll find the experience you are looking for – and that will your ‘trip of a lifetime’ and a beautiful memory for years to come.
