Fishing in Costa Rica

Costa Rica offers world class fishing. The fishing varies according to wind, weather, fish migration and other factors, but year round the fish are running. The traditional center for sport fishing is on the Pacific Coast. There are more sailfish hooked in this area every year than any other place in the world. The recommended sport fishing areas are the Gulf of Papagayo, Flamingo, and Quepos. Sport Fishing in Costa Rica is catch and release.

Tucked away in the jungle wilderness of Barra de Colorado (near Limon on the Caribbean side), you're likely to encounter schools of tarpon, big jack crevalle, mackerel, grouper, snapper and a dozen other species of saltwater fighters. World-class snook abound in the river mouth and surf along the beaches.
