COUPLE'S FISHING COSTA RICA
COUPLE'S FISHING COSTA RICA
Febrero 12, 2023
Tom, Christina, John & Sandra from New York joined us aboard GOOD DAY this week. After an excellent couple of days with us last year Tom was excited to see what they could catch this year. Day 1 got off to a flyer and we enjoyed a pretty Good Sailfish bite going 5 for 6 on Sails and the guys enjoyed deploying some tags for Gray FishTag Research. Sandra caught a stunning Yellowfin Tuna which provided them with some excellent meals up at Shana by the Beach hotel prepared by Warner and the team. The girls had a blast watching the spinner dolphins and tuna school & the fishy moment of the day was when a Blue Marlin crashed the right Squidnation teaser and piled on the Bonito pitch bait that we threw him. Fish on! Unfortunately it didn’t last very long & the hook pulled during the first run to everyone’s dissapointment. Catch report - day 1 5 for 6 Sailfish 1 Tuna 30lbs Lost a Blue Marlin Day 2 yesterday was a boys trip whilst the ladies pampered themselves with a Spa/Massage Day. We headed out 36 miles where there had been a nice Marlin/Sail bite the previous day. We marked fish like crazy 100-200 feet down but there was so much bait there that just did not seem interested. We fished our socks off, we were completely focussed on catching the guys a Marlin but things just did not work out. We caught one monster Bonito, had a brief encounter with 1 Sailfish behind the teaser which quickly faded off and that was about it. Super tough day, you can’t win them all! Thank to Tom, John & the ladies for fishing with us, great to have you aboard and hope to see you soon. Heading back out there now with Tim & Dean from England!

Tuna were a great fish to go after. The water was amazing and I would have to say some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced.

Hire a local panga like Hidalgo Sportfishing - it is cheaper and supports the locals. You get great opportunity to fish with the full attention of a local captain who really knows the hot spots.

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

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.

Get some inshore Roosters/Snappers & Jacks early, then try everything on offer - you can bottom fish species hunting inshore (and off-shore), or go after off-shore Bill-fish where the whole spectrum of lure taking hard fighting fish including Wahoo, Dorado, Jacks, Tuna, Amberjack and Rainbow Runners are present for most of the year.

Do this trip with an open mind - enjoy the full experience without focusing completely on the catch you personally want. Jackpot's commitment to conservation- keeping the game fish catch in the water - quick and safe release is commendable.

100% recommended, the sportfishing in Costa Rica is excellent, all year you can to catch sailfish, mahi mahi or tunas. Also the inshore fishing is very good for roosterfish, mackarele and red snapper. Is better that you write by e-mail to Martin, the operation manager, he is like a friend in Costa Rica.
