We offer different ways of fishing
 

1- Pacific Ocean Offshore Fishing Trips

Quepos, Costa Rica and it’s offshore fishing grounds are world famous for the numerous records (fly and conventional tackle) that have been set and the large numbers of fish it can produce during the peak seasons. Sailfish are the name of the game here and are available year around with December through April being the prime season. 30 to 40 fish days are common during those peak warmer months when numerous Sails can be seen free-jumping and resting on the surface.

Blue, Black and Stripped Marlin are common in the local waters but are more seasonally caught on their North- South migration routes. March and April and November and December see more Marlin than other months but they have been caught every month of the year.

Dolphinfish (Dorado or Mahi Mahi) thrive in these waters but are usually unseen from June to September. Wahoo are a strictly seasonal fish that occupies these waters during the warmer months from December to April.

Rates for a full day of offshore fishing range from $850 to $1200 based on the number of anglers and the size of the boat desired.

2- Pacific Ocean Inshore Fishing Trips

The inshore waters of the Central Pacific coast are some of the most abundant sport fisheries in the world. Literally thousands of Roosterfish populate the area and are caught year around. There can be so much action with Gallos (Roosters) that often clients prefer to target other species after hours of battling these hard fighting “brawlers”. The IGFA all tackle world record for Snook (a 58lb. Pacific Black) and the record for Pacific Backfin both came from the local waters and the limits of those records are being challenged frequently. Casting over submerged rocks and reefs can produce various Jacks and up to five different kinds of Snapper including: Colorado, Mullet, Pacific Dog, Spotted Rose and Yellow. When the waters are warmer (December through May) and baitfish (Sardines, Mullet, etc.) are found in tight schools or “baitballs” the action can be fast and furious with the predators species that patrol the perimeters. Usually the baitfish reach their mature size during the summer months from November to May and then hatch sporadically throughout the rest of the year. These predators/sport fish include: Barracuda (Pacific and Mexican), Pacific Bonito, Stripped Corvina, Jack Crevalle(Common and Pacific), Dolphinfish (aka Mahi Mahi or Dorado), Milkfish, Mackerel (Sierra, Chub and Spanish), Needlefish, Black Skipjack, Trevally (Bigeye and Bluefin), Trippletail, Tuna (Yellowfin, Bigeye and Skipjack), Wahoo.

Inshore trips are done either in basic open hull pangas or customized center console sport fishers with T-tops. The smaller, lighter more maneuverable pangas are normally used when the action is right in the surf and the sportfishers are used when greater distances need to be traveled.

Half and full day trips for 1 to 3 people run from $350 and $450 for the pangas and $450 to $650 for the sport fishers.

Half-day trips are done only when short distances need to be covered to get to good fishing and therefore are subject to seasonal limitations.

3- Estuaries Fishing

The estuaries of the Central Pacific Coast are some of the largest in Central America and are excellent fisheries for a variety of saltwater and brackish water species. Snook (Common, Pacific Black and Pacific Blackfin), Snapper (Pacific Dog, Colorado, Mullet and Yellow), Common and Pacific Jack Crevalle, Longjaw Leatherjack, Jewfish and Roosterfish make up the sport fish population, some in permanent residence others coming in search of food when given access to these Mangrove and hardwood lined waters. Tides rise and fall from 7 to 10 feet on the coast here so these massive estuaries are in a constant state of change bringing many of the inshore baitfish and predator species in and out every 12 hours so timing is everything when fishing. All trips are scheduled according to the tides and seasons. The estuaries are best fished in the dry months from December to May and then weather permitting the rest of the year. Estuary trips are done with lightweight  and pangas.

Max 4 people (Charter) US$275.
