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 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.
