Costa Rica has one of the best sportfishing in Central America, It
offers incredible inshore and offshore fishing opportunities. The
sportfishing here is world-class and the industry itself is firmly
established.
Costa Rica
waters are calm and filled with Blue and Black Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Rooster
Fish and Tarpon. The abundance of sailfish occurring in Costa Rican waters is
among the top reasons fisherman return again and again to this
sportfishing paradise. Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Wahoo, Tuna, Tarpon and
Snook are in abundant supply year round. Costa Rica is home to some of
the best sportfishing and deep sea fishing in the world, with over 100
world records to its credit.
Also is important to know that all of our Sportfishing Packages follow a
strict “catch and release” policy.
The best spot for
Sportfishing is
Golfito, its area is famous for its big roosterfish year round. Marlin:
August through December is peak. Sailfish: December to the end of March is best,
then again in August and September. Tuna: August through March is the best time
for the 100 pounders, but fish of up to 30 lbs are caught year-round. Snook: The
rainy season seems to be best.
There are sails and marlin offshore during peak season, and plenty of exciting
roosters, mackerel, amberjack, wahoo and big snapper closer inshore.
Inside Golfo Dulce, small barracuda and snapper, mackerel, sea bass and
the occasional snook can be caught on light tackle. Off Cabo Matapalo in the
Pacific, anglers will encounter sails, marlin, tuna and other blue water
species. This area is generally considered to have the best all-round inshore
sportfishing in Costa Rica, and there are roosters that average over 30
pounds, wahoo, grouper, jack, barracuda and trophy-size Pacific cubera snapper.
Golfito
is located on the southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, near the border of
Panama. The town lies on a narrow strip of land between the gorgeous bay and a
the rainforest mountain.
With some of the highest storied rainforests
in Central America (30–45 meters), most of the coastal lowlands surrounding
Golfito are characterized by tall evergreen forest. One of the wettest places in
the world, the region receives an annual average of 400–500 centimeters of
rainfall.
