Costa Rica Sport Fishing

Full Day Costa Rica Sport Fishing

  Where you'll find the best sport fishing that Costa Rica has to offer. Here we target species such as marlin and sailfish, tuna and dorado, roosterfish, pargo and other snapper, Trevaly and other jacks, grouper, wahoo and much, much more.

  Our home port is in on the Pacific central and southern coasts of Costa Rica, right on the doorstep of some of the countries most incredible sport fishing.

  What we offer are Costa Rica sport fishing packages that range from customizable half day or full day trips to multi day packages that include everything from lodging and transportation to fishing and eating and everything else in between!

  What Costa Rica offers is a warm climate with extremely pleasant seas and some of the best sport fishing you will find anywhere.

  The offshore action here is world renowned. Anglers come from all over to fish Costa Rica for the large numbers of big sailfish that are common here as well as the 3 species of marlin commonly caught here. The offshore fly fishing can be mind boggling as well.

  Inshore, we assault the schools of roosterfish that swarm the coasts alongside of the many species of jacks. While another tactic is to target the giant bottom dwellers such as grouper, amberjack, pargo and much more!

The Fish

Costa Rica boasts some of the worlds best inshore and bottom fishing for Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Snook, Amberjack, Wahoo, Jacks, Grouper, Bonito and much more. The bottoms are speckled with reefs and other rock formations making excellent structure for the fish that inhabit it. On Costa Rica's Pacific coast, the beaches offer various structure as well making the inshore fishing outstanding.

  As you leave port, you enter the south Pacific where it drops to over 1000 fathoms just a few miles offshore. This deep blue water is where we find the Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna and Dorado.

  Out there in the deep water, the usual method is trolling hook-less rigs with baits and teasing the fish to the boat where we either cast our fly or pitch a live bait or dead ballyhoo to the fish. This up close and personal method of hooking the fish so near the boat makes for some extremely close initial jumps with the billfish.

  Off-shore game consists of mostly large sailfish-in the 80-120 lb. range, blue and black marlin, dorado (mahi mahi), wahoo and tuna...sometimes to over 300 lbs.

  The "norm" inshore is trolling live baits or lures while casting from the bow. I will position the boat in casting range of Sheer rock cliffs, reefs (both submerged and visible), Schools of free busting fish, river mouths and other currents and structures for either conventional or fly casters for some lure crushing action.

  The "other" inshore fishing is the rod bending aggressive action provided by Grouper, Red Snapper, Rock Snapper, Cubera Snapper and other bottom fish.

  On many of our trips both inshore and offshore are accompanied by schools of Dolphins, different whales, sea turtles and sea birds. The opportunities here are overwhelming to any angler, so it is always a good choice to be ready and open for whatever may occur. We practice catch-and-release on all billfish with no exceptions. Food fish are divided between everybody.
