Crocodile Bay Fishing Report for April 2023
The month of April continued to offer great fishing results due to Costa Rica’s long-time conservation battle against commercial tuna fishing boats in our waters. The tuna fishing for our guests was on fire this month. It’s very satisfying to bump into huge schools of spinner dolphin that are running with tons of yellow fin tuna between 7 and 15 miles offshore. It keeps our client’s rods bent and smiles on everybody’s faces!
Crocodile Bay Fishing Report for March 2023
It brings me great pleasure to share with you the latest fishing report from Crocodile Bay in Costa Rica. The fishing action here on the Osa Peninsula is still sizzling hot, and according to some of our experienced captains, the fishery in the peninsula is currently thriving like never before. The new commercial tuna fishing reforms, combined with strict measures to crack down on illegal fishing, has resulted in a healthier and more abundant fishery for the area, both inshore and offshore.

Crocodile Bay Fishing Report for January 2023
It was a wonderful start to the 2023 season for us at Crocodile Bay with awesome weather, very calm seas and, of course, great fishing off the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. The fishing at Crocodile Bay has been on fire recently, with multiple hook- ups on blue marlin and huge yellow fin tuna offshore, along with trophy rooster fish and monster cubera snappers inshore. Our guests are catching multiple Dorado (Mahi Mahi) offshore and even a few inshore. It’s been crazy good fishing with double digit catch-and- releases on dorado every day for our anglers. There hasn’t been a boring moment this past month on the water with our guests reeling in fish after fish.
