Expect Big Game Fish in Smaller Numbers When Fishing Jaco in June.

While the fishing in the Jaco area has been good over the past months with boats recording bill fish catches over the 15-a-day mark, the first 2 weeks in June have seen a slight slow down as the bill fish move further north. That being said it is not dead, it is just that the fish being hooked are in smaller numbers — though much larger in size!

This weekend Hooked Up Sportfishing (a fishing and vacation outfitter located in San Jose, Costa Rica) went out on Super Fly from the Marriott Los Sueños Marina for a day-long fishing trip. The boat was a beautiful custom built 42 ft boat with a full kitchen and AC. this boat is well known in Costa Rica and especially in the Tournament ring. Hooked up Sportfishing has been designing luxury vacations to Costa Rica since 2000 and specialises in luxury fishing vacations to Costa Rica.

The day before our trip, Super fly had gone out and caught a 500lb black Marlin and two sailfish, giving us a cheerful outlook, however as always with fishing you can never be sure, it is a day by day thing. The start to the day was slow with only some small Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo biting, however after about two hours the Captain signaled a Marlin approaching which took the bait and a 150lb Blue Marlin was landed. The video of the catch is below:

The second sailfish was caught about one hour after the Marlin and weighed in at around 150lbs, and the final sailfish was caught on the way back in and weighed in at around 150lbs as well. The Captain and the mates have years and years of experience, which became obvious to to us every time we hooked a fish, as their response was 2nd nature to them.
