Puntarenas Province Fishing Reports

Understand it is into the rainy season, so the weather and waves can be rough. Still big fish to be caught.

Catch fish you want to eat then spend the rest of the time trolling for Roosterfish.

Its hot.... sun protection and cooling off in cold water is essential. Be prepared for the hours of trolling

Take the time to get to know the local captains. They know where the fish are!

Great time for rooster , snapper and mahi although bill fish bite coming on a little early too. Blame that on al gore I guess.

Full day is best to get out as far as you need to fish for the big fish. Bathe yourself in sunscreen!

These excursions are not for the hardcore fishermen types who want to do everything, i.e., bait the hooks, throw the lines out, etc.,

Check the reviews on fishingbooker.com and book your trip from there. Allin Sportfishing out of Herradura was awesome.

Live bait for rooster is definitely the best, especially if you're looking for a big one ! Once done, move to popping and jigging around the rocks... soooo good !!

Remember that it's called "fishing" and not "catching" for a reason. Some days the fish just aren't there. Understand which months are best for the type of fish you're hoping to catch. If you've got specific questions, contact the respective charter contact for details. All of them seemed very willing to assist and answer any questions.

Call and book the guys on the Ravens out of Marina Pez Vela. You will be more than satisfied!!!!

Do your research. Read and write honest reviews and keep a positive attitude! It is a beautiful experience!!

We also cruised out to Pacific ocean for deep sea fishing. Waves were gentle and the ride was smooth.

Wear shorts and flip flops due to wading to dingy to take you to the boat. Be prepared to take fish home with you.

Bring plenty of sunscreen and if possible bring a hand towel to wipe your hands when you get fish juice on them! Don't eat a big breakfast before going out, because the head on some boats aren't like what you'd find at a 4-Seasons resort! And if the bite is on, you'll be dead tired by the end of the day!!

Probably some of the best fishing in the world out of this port. Bring lots of protection from sun, long sleeve fishing shirts and pull over masks are great

The Mahi Mahi and Yellowfin are plentiful in August and the weather is goegeous! A bit of rain here and there but nothing you can’t handle!

Sierpe de Osa in Costa Rica, has great diversity of species for fishing throughout the year

Nice marina easy to find with a good breakfast out of the mini mart on sight. fishing grounds for us were an hour out so not to bad and the restaurant on sight cooked the fish up for us at the end of the day!
