Full Day Offshore Fishing Costa Rica

The journey, in full

In Costa Rica, offshore fishing is one of its main attractions. The billfish action is of world-class caliber. In the same areas as the billfish hang out, it is possible to encounter schools of yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi. The season is all year round with some general rules of thumb. The largest number of sailfish are found from December to the end of April. The marlin is usually running strongest in the rainy season from May to December. Tunas are abundant all year round and mahi-mahi are more common from September to January. However, you can catch anything at any time of the year. Most of the fishing is done by trolling. It is common to run between 20-35 miles before we start fishing. Since we are centrally located we can fish both Cabo Blanco and south towards Quepos in the same areas as the boats from Los Sueños. This all depends upon the reports from the previous days. We use a mix of dead baits, dead baits combined with artificials and plain artificials in our spread. If live bait is available or we catch some offshore we also use this. We also run several teasers for the bait and switch technique which is a blast.
