What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste for the first time?

With Big Game fish be ready to reel and be patient. Be patient and, take your time. capt said Nov is last good month for really good fishing. Said wind picks up in summer months and water gets to choppy. Go early.. we left at 6am

February fishing is not one of the best fishing months of the year. However, we were in Playa Flamingo for 11 days and went on 3 fishing trips and had really great luck for all 3. February for us turned out great! We brought our own surf poles, but had no luck. I recommend fishing with a local guide.

Yes. This is not a marina with a pier so know that. You catch a taxi boat from the shore. Fishing is very good in this area.

Be prepared for plenty of sun and a good fight when you get a fish on. The fish are beautiful and have some amazing colors to them.

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.

Go Offshore book on this site, do not book through the hotels. We did that on another trip and it was terrible.

Fishing in deep sea is always subject to the weather! Despite high winds & seas, still caught a good size Mahi!!!

Check moon phases before fishing. Full moon makes fishing really slow - not much the crew can do about that.

Just go out and have fun. If you catch fish every time you went out they would call it Catching not Fishing.

Yes. These guys know the waters and will do everything to get the targeted fish.

If you've never been....this will be a trip you will never forget. It's a must.
