Costa Rica is by
far the most popular fishing destination in Central America. On the west
coast the main attraction is the bill fishing which is excellent all year
with the possible exception of October and November, mainly due to
unstable weather. From December through April the sailfishing is best in
the southern half including Quepos, adjacent to the Manuel Antonio
National Park, Drakes Bay, Golfito and Los Sueños. Further north
in Guanacaste at Carillo (also called Guanamar, after the resort
located there) and Tamarindo, starting around February the blue
marlin fishing heats up. By late April the sailfish action in the southern part of
the country slows somewhat, with the main body of fish moving northward
with the best action in the Tamarindo/Flamingo area, and remains
there for the rest of the
season. Home Page Los Sueños Quepos Golfito Tamarindo Tarpon
Giant yellowfin tuna start to show up throughout
the west coast sometime in April and remain available into the summer
months. Inshore species such as roosterfish, snapper, mackerel, jacks and
amberjack are also available throughout the year.
Most of the "fishing lodges" are located in the
far southern part of the country at Golfito/Puerto Jiminez. All inclusive
packages are offered at these lodges that start when you get off the plane
in San Jose and end when you are brought back to the airport for your
flight home.


On the rest of the Pacific coast the
accommodatiuons are in small family owned hotels, and the fishing is done
on charter boats that mainly range from 25' to 33', although every
year
brings larger
ones to the country. Complete packages can be arranged that include all
the fishing, lodging and transfers, as well as any side touristy type
tours.
The exception would be at Los Sueños, the mega
resort located just north of Jaco Beach. American style condominiums, golf
course and a brand new modern marina almost make the visitor feel like he
never left the states - almost , because the
surroundings and fishing are pure Costa Rica. Nearby

The Caribbean coast is renowned
for it's tarpon and snook fishing with the action concentrated in the
jungle rivers and just outside their mouths. The three main areas
are Parismina, Tortuguero and Rio Colorado - the largest river
system. Tarpon are available throughout the year with the best from
March into October. Calba a small species of snook are plentiful from
December through January, while the best time for larger snook is
during October and November.
