Found Coco Rico. According to one website It's at S 26°50’27.0” E032°53’08.5”, just a few km from the SA border, where the bitumen ends. A close look on Google Earth makes that location plausible with buildings visible and a town of sorts surrounding it. And just where Dan reckoned it should be, facing that sheltered beach with the headland to the south.

As Noosa is only 0.5 degrees closer to the equator than Ponta Do Ouro, it'll be like fishing at home 8) . It'll likely be hot, sunrise at 0430-ish, off the water by 0930-ish before things get too hot, with a strong NE sea breeze kicking in around 1100. Or it might be raining. And in the afternoon there's swimming in the pool and drinking beer and talking about fishing. Sounds like fun to me.

shaun,
Where in the US are the US anglers from? I'm still trying to dogpile this trip. It would help if I knew the 4 from the US to arrange travel with. I can't seem to find anyone on the W coast that even knows WTH I'm talking about. Are these guys Texans or Floridians?
