  OUTDOOR RECREATION - Sport Fishing

Costa Rica Sportfishing is world class and has been well known in the Sportfishing industry for many years. Because of this most of the Costa Rica Sportfishing companies in enforce a strict catch-and-release policy. They do understand sustainable tourism and want to conserve the level of fish in the waters off of Costa Rica.

Sportfishing on the Pacific Coast is strikingly different than Sportfishing on the Caribbean Coast. The Pacific is known for its Blue Marlin and the best season for this fish is from May – July. However this fish can be found year round in the Pacific waters. Dorado is also another Sportfishing catch. Its season follows that of Blue Marlin.

In general, the fish move seasonally, with May - September offering the best catches in the Golfo de Papagayo (Tamarindo to Playa Flamingo), while November to March are the best in southern waters centered on the Golfo Dulce (Golfito) and Puerto Quepos.

Costa Rica’s northern Caribbean coast is also known for its Sportfishing near Tortuguero and Barra del Colorado. Tarpon or the “Silver Bullet” is one of the most aggressive largest fishes in these waters. Tarpon can weight up to 135 lbs (60 kg) and can be quite a challenge for even the most seasoned Sportfisher. Snook is also a popular fish caught here it is much smaller than the Tarpon but it also a very aggressive fish and can put up a good fight. The Snook can weight up to 25-30 lbs. Most of the Costa Rica Sportfishing on the Caribbean is done in the surrounding rivers, estuaries, and larger lagoons. Cano Negro also know for Tarpon and Snook.

Laguna de Arenal near Volcan Arenal is renowned for its Guapote or Rainbow Bass.

There are packages for all levels of fishers; from the professional to the beginner. Full and half day packages are available as well as packages exclusively for Costa Rica Sportfishing vacations.
