Deep Sea Fishing in Costa Rica

"Deep Sea Fishing in Costa Rica"," If you're looking for Kingfish, Jack, Mackerel, Tarpon and Snook, then head over to the rivers and Atlantic Ocean to find them.
 One option is to charter a boat for a day, or half day, for you, family and/or friends.


Fishing on Costa Rica's coasts has long been an occupation for locals to feed their families and to market their catch.
 I have even seen a real pro with one between his toes as well! But whether you want to try hand lines yourself or embrace all the technology supplied by a modern rod; you'll find it here in Costa Rica!

Costa Rica is a country striving to protect and preserve the natural environment with which it has been abundantly blessed, so please follow a 'catch and release' policy when fishing - unless of course you plan to cook your catch later!


Where To Go:

This list is far from exhaustive, but hopefully it will offer you a few highlights!


Quepos, Pacific Coast: A well-established fishing port, Quepos can offer it all - from budget packages of roughly $1,000 for a three-day, almost all-inclusive trip to luxury charters with amazing extras such as a 'tuna tower' or a 'fighting chair' with prices into the thousands.


Tamarindo and Flamingo: Two popular vacation destinations for North American tourists and retirees; unsurprisingly, they are also great fishing spots.


Drake Bay, Osa Pennisula: Due to its geography, this area is often considered to have the best inshore fishing in the whole country.
 As this is a fair trek from the capital, you'll find that most tour companies offer package tours to include accommodation and transfers along with your fishing trips, but you can do all this yourself too, so do not feel as if you cannot create your dream fishing tour.



What To Take:


Sunblock: It gets real hot out there on the high seas, so don't get burned.

Insect Repellent: If you plan to fish in the rivers, make sure your brand contains a fair amount of DEET or you will be eaten alive by the bugs! This is the tropics you know.

Camera: Your buddies back home will never believe your fishing tales if you don't have proof!
Water: Bring PLENTY and stay hydrated.



So whether this will be your first catch or your thousandth, deep-sea fishing in Costa Rica will be an experience unlike fishing anywhere else! So jump aboard and cast your line to see just what exotic monster you can hook! Don't forget your camera or it will surely get away!
