Offshore
Costa Rica Fishing
Costa
Rica Marlin — The "lady in the blue
dress" or Blue Marlin is the most common of our Marlins
and cruise our cobalt waters all year. They peak in November
and December as well as March and April. Black Marlin are
most abundant in July and August and few Striped Marlin are
around at the same time.
Sailfish
— Again year round when a half dozen are common any
day of the year. From November to May the numbers increase
and days of 12 fish or more are common.
Dorado
— Any day of the year, common January through may and
very abundant November and December.
Tuna
— Yellowfin is the main species. The big boys, those
100 to 300 pounds can test your back any day of the year if
you are lucky enough to come across a school of porpoises
offshore. The big Tuna swim with them and the feed on the
same baitfish. "football size tunas hang around floating
debris or peak in schools in July and August and November
and December. No wonder the Marlin peak at the same time.
Wahoo
— a Wahoo can surprise you any day of the year but are
not common in this area.
