Press release:
Daytona Beach, Fla. – October 12, 2012 – For the next seven years, Costa’s GeoFish project will be about one thing: exploration. GeoFish follows a vegetable oil powered adventure fly fishing quest around the world, with the team in search of the most epic spots never fished, the ones anglers hear about but chalk up to urban legend. The first full-length feature film installment capturing this journey, GeoFish: Mexico, Vol. 1, is available now at www.costadelmar.com/explore.
Dubbed the next level in fly fishing entertainment, former creators of AEG Media and the Fly Fishing Film Tour, Thad Robison, Brian Jill, Jay Johnson and Chris Owens, star in the GeoFish series as it documents the lifestyles, adventures, mishaps, and camaraderie of four expedition anglers on an around the world epic journey.
In GeoFish: Mexico, Vol. 1, the team is in endless pursuit of out-of-the-way locations to fish, along the way being interrogated by international boarder guards, coping with severe injuries in remote jungles, vehicle breakdowns on life threatening roads and close calls with drug cartels. Some might call them crazy, but true adventure anglers call them inspiration.
While in Mexico, the GeoFish crew went in search of everything from striped marlin to largemouth bass, bonefish to barracuda, their vegetable oil powered diesel pick up truck taking them through places like Tecate, Loreto Magdalena Bay and Xcalak.
“In addition to being a story about unveiling Earth’s greatest fishing frontiers, GeoFish is about the livelihood of four friends trying to find balance between normal everyday life and their overriding urge to explore,” said Robison. “Our goal is to find the fisheries no one’s ever seen before, even if it means using extreme measures to get ourselves there.”
Costa is spearheading the GeoFish exploration as part of its overall mission to, “see what’s out there,” also the brand’s tag line.
“GeoFish is like a modern day Lewis and Clark expedition, trailblazing new places to fish,” said Al Perkinson, vice president of marketing for Costa Sunglasses. “But even more than that, GeoFish is an inspiration to the next generation to get out there and explore the world.’”
Following GeoFish: Mexico, Vol. 1, future travels will include Belize, Panama and other South American locales. Each subsequent year’s film will feature new discoveries and fly fishing adventure as the team eventually circumnavigates the globe.

Looks epic. I will be purchasing that and wanting to do that. Without getting stuck in the mud of course. Hate getting stuck sucks
Way cool When do we leave?
can I come? ... looks pretty fucking sweet, good work Thad and company
This is the shit I respect not that CFI crap. Anyone who'll get get mud in their crack to catch fish is fucking hardcore. Dudes got balls of steel ( stainless!! )
Why did the boys fall out with mike weir?
I feel sorry for people who think this is hardcore or insane or something. Those people's lives must be super boring. This is just a bunch of real dudes living their lives on their own terms. Should be an awesome documentary of a way of life so few people can wrap their minds around. The footage we've seen so far is fantastic.
"I feel sorry for people who think this is hardcore or insane or something. those people's lives must be super boring."
Whoa, Whoa,Whoa, big Hass. If you don't think traveling in third world country's doesn't pose some risk then you either have never done it or your from there. Have you not been reading the papers? Well anyway it's pretty hardcore for me but if that makes me boring then you must be Chuck FUCKN Norris. Can't wait to see your movie.
wurd to jeff! i feel sorry for people who feel sorry for people! Ya that is hypocritical and contradicting but i can do that. because im awesome. i've spent time with all of these guys and they put out the most solid footage and are the most laid back buncha dudes to kick it and fish with. they are way under rated and put out the best footy in the biz!! keep on truckin boys!
So pumped to get this little number home! The edits and camera work look just ridiculous! Well done Thad, Jay, Brian and Chris. Look forward to seeing you guys and can't wait for the next one!!
Would love to buy - but Costa won't ship to Canada!!!
please, please, please, buy a winch for your truck next trip!Sheesh.
The soundtrack on that trailer could have been a little more dramatic but other than that it looks like the feel good film of this fall!

U.S. shipping is 6.25 on our store at MOTIV. Canadians get to pay a little more cause it takes extra antifreeze in the post trucks up there. All our orders are shipped from our distributor USPS Priority box as opposed to a flimsy padded envelop that gets the goods there in one piece about 50% of the time
Would be nice for our flyfishing club...but shipping to Europe for 17 Dollars ???

It doesn't cost that much, just ordered one. I think it was 5 something. I don't know about Costa but the MOTIV sight ships everywhere.
Costas had about 70 bucks as the cheapest shipping option to Switzerland. I went to the motivfishing.com site and it was $18. More like it.
Thanks for sharing this!!
