February Fishing Report: Double-Digit Sailfish Days!
February delivered unreal fishing action here on the Osa Peninsula. With calm offshore waters and ideal conditions, anglers experienced the kind of glassy seas that fishermen dream about. At the same time, the inshore bite remained just as exciting, reminding us once again why this region is considered one of the most productive fisheries in the world.
One of the biggest highlights this month was the incredible sailfish bite. Our crews enjoyed truly remarkable days offshore, raising impressive numbers of sailfish to the spread and regularly releasing double-digit fish. It has been a few years since we’ve seen this many sailfish concentrated in our waters, and watching multiple sails pile onto the spread at once created unforgettable moments for our anglers.
Yellowfin tuna were another major highlight in February. Large schools continued to run alongside porpoise offshore, giving anglers plenty of opportunities to hook into some powerful fish. Along with the schools, we also encountered aggressive lone tuna crushing our lures, adding even more excitement to the action.
February also hosted one of our favorite traditions — the 11th Annual Lunsford Group Tournament. The event once again delivered fantastic fishing, with anglers releasing countless sailfish along with several yellowfin tuna and even a few marlin mixed into the action. The camaraderie, excitement, and great fishing made it another successful tournament and left us with a group of very happy anglers.
As the month wrapped up, the billfish bite continued to stay strong, giving us plenty of optimism heading into March. If the end of February was any indication, the action is only getting better.
So, pack your favorite fishing hat, bring plenty of sunscreen, and come experience what it’s like to fish in paradise here on the Osa Peninsula. The season is in full swing — and the fish are waiting.
