Fishing at the North Pacific Coast
(Tamarindo Beach and Papagayo Gulf areas)
The North Pacific Coast is particularly noted for great numbers of Pacific sailfish, some in excess of 150 pounds; striped marlin to 275 pounds, and blue and black marlin, some approaching 700 pounds. It may also be the very best location known for record class roosterfish. Sixty to seventy pounders are almost always available, with frequent catches approaching 100 pounds. All billfish and roosters are catch and release.
Enjoy your day at comfortable boats, with open bar for you and your friends, snacks on board, and the excitement of feeling the marlin catch by you. This fantastic adventure into the Pacific Ocean will be an unforgettable experience, thanks in a huge part of your enthusiasm and the knowledge of your captain.

Fishing at the Central Pacific Coast
(Manuel Antonio Beach and Quepos Area)
The Pacific Ocean provides Costa Rica with consistently exciting fishing. The fish that live in these waters are Sailfish, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Roosterfish, Mackerel, Dorado, and Red Snapper. It is the Billfishing that has made the area famous, with Sailfish being the most abundant.
Fishing's always good off Quepos, with top billfishing traditionally well underway by early December, when the mayor concentration of sailfish moves into this central coastal region to join the earlier-arriving marlin. When it peaks, releases of 12 to 20 fish a day are common, with a few unbelievable days every year with 30 and more releases.
Action continues steady on sails, as well as blue, black and striped marlin well into April, and very often throughout the summer, depending on conditions.
Inshore Sport fishing includes tuna, roosterfish, wahoo, dorado, jacks, mackerel, cubera, a variety of small snapper species and even snook can be taken trolling just outside the breaker line off the river mouths in the area, but are more often fished from shore.
