Fishing in Costa Rica

Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast has long been known for its world-class Sailfish, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) Sportfishing. We catch and release hundreds of billfish each year!! . Our prime fishing season is December- May. But we catch fish year-round because the Gulf of Nicoya is a magnet for many different species of baitfish. December May is also dry season, so the seas are generally calm when the fishing is best. Our waters abound with whales, dolphins, turtles, manta rays, and many other species of marine life throughout the year.

	MARLIN. Seasons: September, October, and November are normally the best months for Marlin. But…big Blue, Black and Striped Marlin are always around and the boats that target them usually have some success. You may need to go a little farther and fish a little harder, but Marlin fishermen are familiar with that. Method: Generally caught 20-50 miles out while trolling lures and/or ballyhoo with circle hooks. The “bait and switch” with teasers and pitch baits is the most popular method on the big boats. Live bait is best when you find the fish. Marlin can also be caught on the fly if the Marlin is small and you are really lucky.
	SAILFISH Seasons: The Sailfish bite is above average year around and almost all the fish are over 100 pounds. When the fish is good, boats can raise 10-40 Sailfish a day. The best months are normally December through April, but Sailfish are caught in good number all year around. Method: Generally caught 10-30 miles out while trolling lures and/or ballyhoo with circle hooks. The “bait and switch” with teasers and pitch baits is the most popular and fun when fishing is hot. Sailfish can also be caught on the fly and live bait. Always use circle hooks FOR Sailfish and please catch and release quickly.
	TUNA Seasons: Yellow fin Tuna are caught throughout the year on the Central Pacific coast. It’s not uncommon to pick up a 100 plus pounds Yellow fin when fishing for Sailfish. The bib Tuna come and go all year around but June through September are normally the best months for 200 plus pounders. Method: Generally caught 10-30 miles out. Yellow fin will bite on the same lures and ballyhoo rigs that are used to catch Sailfish. Tuna are usually found feeding with dolphins especially Spinner Dolphins. If you can find feeding dolphins you can target tuna with cedar plugs and deeper running trolling lures like the green machine. Live bait is the best for big tuna… get in front of the feeding pack and drop you live bait down and hold on
	MAHI MAHI Seasons: The Sailfish bite is above average year around. The rainy season June through October. 40- 90 pound Dorado are very common when fishing for Sailfish. Method: It will bite on the same lures and ballyhoo rigs that are used to catch Sailfish. Mahi Mahi can also be caught on the fly and live bait. Always use circle hooks dorado
	Roosterfish: Undoubtedly, the Roosterfish is the most exciting inshore fish available and are the main attraction to inshore fishermen. These fish lurk around rocky bottoms and are one heck of a fight! They are not to good for eating due to of all their muscle but they do tend to bring a lot of spunk to the line. Roosters can be caught year round averaging from 20 to 40 pounds.
	Cubera Snapper: Fishing This is the most popular of all the local Snappers, due to its size and sheer strength. Fish over 50lbs have been caught in the area, year round. They are very similar to the Red Snapper fish.
