Let me get this straight... you know Jetman who started this thread with his complaint. You watched the You Tube video posted by "whatshisname" who claims this video is of Jetman and his buddies. You allege the the video is not Jetman and his buddies (who you also know).

How am I doing so far?

Yes, I know Jetman and the three friends he fished with on that day and they are not in that video on You Tube.

Sorry for the delay in responding......I wish he would have put as much effort into our fishing trip as he did into his post (my guess it's a form letter, as he's writing them after each trip). He has screwed over so many people he can't keep us streight.
This isn't my group, we are all from Florida.
I arranged the fishing trip initially through e-mail, then over the phone to confirm, when I confirmed with him over the phone I told him I was a CRT member. The price quoted through e-mail ($795) is the the same price we paid, no discount. Our hotel in Jaco had never even heard of him. So he didn't have to pay anyone commission
He picked us up in Jaco, not San Jose, arriving at 6:45am at the hotel, we then drove to Punta Areanas arriving at 8:00am....I know this because we looked on his car clock to double check the time, we didn't ask to eat breakfast he told us he needed to pick up bait and sandwiches, so he thought it would be easier to drop us off than drag us along. He didn't pick us up from the breakfast place until 9:30am. Also we were back at our hotel by 4:00pm in Jaco. I remember this because the hotel owner asked us why we were back so early with no fish. He's as good as telling time as he is the truth.
We didn't stiff his deck hand, we gave him $80 cash in front of the Captain Con, that's when he asked us to pay him, thats when I asked him for the CRT discount again...and a discount for the late start and early return.
I understand about the tides and everything that goes with fishing, but when you don't have bait, your not going to catch the type of fish we were going after. We never had a Rooster on the line, we had two bites all day.

This is not our group in the U-Tube video,

A- I wish we were this young,
B-We all wish we could be that fat free.

The first class/no class marina/scrap yard he took us to was unsafe, He did have several boats on the lot, all in pieces!!!

Again we didn't fish out of Los Suenos Marina, the marina he said we were fishing from....we fished from Punta Areanas....Captain Con, I have a camera too and I took a lot of pictures.

He did get one thing right, we did drink his beer, that's because he states on his website that all food and beverages are included. So at $50 a beer, those are very expensive beers.
Like I said in my post, the guy can write an e-mail like a poet and be as convincing as a priest, but he is one thing and one thing only....a Dirtbag Con Artist, selling the world and delivering absolutly SQUAT!

I stand by what I said in my post and I have four other guys who will give the same account as I have given. I wrote the message on CRT to warn other CRT members of this person and his unprofessionalism and Con Artist nature. CRT's website has been very helpful to me in getting to know Costa Rica and the things to watch out for.



Thank you,

Jetman

Jetman: If it makes you feel any better, just know that I was seriously considering using this numb-nuts when a couple of buddies and I journey down there in the next year as one of the guys is big into deep sea fishing. I was going to select this scumbag as he was(?) a CRT Sponsor and the website looked OK (lots of stuff not filled in, but decent pictures). needless to say I am glad I ran accross this report.

It is probably better for all concerned because the other guy is a judo black belt who was a alternate in the Olympics some time ago and a prison guard who has physically expressed his displeasure in the past to a rather profane and impolite Kiwi white water rafting guide in Australia (among various others), so it is probably just as well for Senor Angry Marlin that we book elsewhere to avoid the risk of him becoming "Senor Tenderized Tuna" when he tried the same bull-sheet on us. :twisted: :twisted: :evil:

In my humble opinion, Jetman has more than substantiated his side of the story regardless of the opinion that "the truth lies somewhere in the middle" for the simple reason is that we all know that scammers like these do exist in CR in abundance and he has painted a very accurate picture of how this dirtbag operates: (1) He keeps his boat in the cheapest possible area (2) He probably dropped them off for breakfast to complete some other service/scam (3) He seeks the minimum standard to reach to say that he has fulfilled the contract. (4) He lies constantly about where he leaves from, what you pay for, etc. (5) At least one other person has substantiated how this bottom-feeder operates.

I would like to ask Admin whether this guy is still a sponsor as that does imply an endorsement of his services. And that also begs the question of how disputes like this should be resolved. Most of the time with honorable merchants, some recompense is offered. Apparently Senor Angry Tadpole is making no such offer and has denied everything. :roll: :roll: :roll:
