Going to Costa Rica? Take A Costa Rica Fishing Vacation
 |
You know the maxim: The best day of work is worse than the worst day of fishing. Are you an avid angler a bit tired of being confined to local lakes and streams? Imagine winter fishing. Cold days on a frozen lake or crystal clear tropical days. Hard decision to make? Not!!! Trade in your Chapstick and runny nose for suntan lotion, shorts and a flowered shirt, get your ticket to Costa Rica and enjoy fishing like you have always dreamed about. Costa Rica fishing is exactly what you need to get through winter.
Certainly, fishing in your little lake is fun because you get to be all dressed up in your finest winter time apparel, long johns, electric socks, boots, heavy sweater and heavier parka. Then, you have the pleasure of enjoying the cold north wind until your lips are so cold you sound like you have novacaine. All in pursuit of crappies or sunnies nearly as cold as you. Of, you can hop a jet and travel to Costa Rica where the only ice you will see will be in your glass. Think about it. What sounds better: Costa Rica fishing or a frozen butt?
If you want to try coast, the areas of Flamingo and Tamarindo offer the most popular Costa Rica fishing spots. There, sails can be caught throughout the entire year but often the best fishing is from May to August . Tuna are abundant here between August to October. Do not be surprised to come upon tuna schools of 40 to 60 pounders and sometimes groups with some fishing weighing 200 to 400 pounds. The bay of Papagayo from November to March is a great place to catch roosterfish. They tend to like shorelines and are usually caught in around 60 feet of water. Large marlin, colorful dorado, and wahoo can also be caught here at varying times of the year.
If you are looking for billfish, the spectacular Central Pacific coast is where you should head. Between December to April, you can visit Quepos or the Los Suenos Marina for a guided charter to fish in deep offshore waters for spectacular marlin and sailfish. Sometimes, you will also find schools of tuna and other fish as well. The colorful dorado fish can be caught from May through October. If you fish closer to shore, you might find yourself fighting wahoo, roosters, snapper, and snook.
The South Pacific coast is home to the angling centers of Drake Bay, Puerto Jiminez, and the Golfo Dulce. Sails and big marlin are frequently caught when the waters are warm. There are lots of snappers, roosterfish, wahoo, and amberjacks inshore. The areas around Golfo Dulce are considered to offer the best inshore fishing in the entire country. There the bottom is very rocky with many coves where certain types of fish like to hide. Sea bass, groupers, and barracuda are some other examples of what you might fun into here.
Costa Rica’s Caribbean waters contain the world famous fishing areas of Barra del Colorado and Tortuguero. Although these waters are often very choppy, you can catch many types of deep sea fish on days when the water is flat. The spectacular tarpon are plentiful here from May to November and some reach about 150 pounds or more. They are caught close to shore and also in rivers and estuaries that are filled with wildlife. This remote coast is one of the few places where you might catch a rare Atlantic sail. Other fish like snook are also readily available. You may even hook a giant grouper, guapote, tripletail, or Jack Crevalle! And, try to time your visit when the Atlantic green sea turtles are nesting on the world’s largest reserve.
