The warm waters and productive reef areas of Costa Rica make excellent conditions for billfish. While Blue Marlin can be found all along the coast, you can note their migration patterns by season, with August to December seeing many Blue Marlin in the south, Jaco and Quepos experiencing high season from September to December and the northern areas of Playa Flamingo and Tamarindo most frequented by Blue Marlin from November to March.
Some of the most famous Blue Marlin fisheries include the Los Suenos marina, Golfito and Drake's Bay. Frequented also by Black Marlin and Striped Marlin, going out of Los Suenos makes it possible to achieve a billfish 'Grand Slam'.

Reseñas de Pesca en Blue Marlin Fishing in Costa Rica
Sun screen. Hydrate. Patience. Enjoy every second being on the ocean. Watch for leatherback turtles. We saw two giant ones mating! You might get a pelican to join you. If you are at risk of motion sickness, get the patch or whatever you need to stay healthy on the water.

Check the weather first. When it rains to much the water is not clear enough.

Summer is the slower part of the season so if possible book a longer trip to give more time

Know what fish is available and butting in what months so you go in the correct amount to catch what you want.

Most boats are not at docks. You will take a water taxi so your feet will get wet. Make sure you have water shoes or are willing to go barefoot on a rocky beach.

Great scenery, and good variety for fishing. If you want to catch mahi and billfish book a full day and get out to deeper water.

Be ready for a great experience! Just being out on the ocean was a great experience and the fishing is very enjoyable. Recognize there may be significant periods of waiting for the fish to bite.

Find a local captain. Bring some big poppers and top lures. White feather jigs are also good.

Not the best time of year to catch fish, but the charters out of Quepos give you the best chance of catching them. The port was very well kept, clean, and professional. A great experience.

Use Gitana! Tell them you're a novice and ask to practice proper use of the reel beforehand. It is a bit of an art to keep a large fish in the hook.

Quepos in June produces, the weather might put you in a bind depending on how the storms line up but the fish are there and eating.

Be open to bottom fishing to increase your chances of success. We had some success trolling, but bottom fishing was much more successful.

Temper your expectations and listen to your crew. We had an idea of what we wanted - we communicated that and were open to being agile on the bite.
