Anglers in Costa Rican waters have landed nearly 100 world-record
catches, including blue marlin, Pacific sailfish, dolphin, wahoo,
yellowfin tuna, guapote, and snook. Whether you want to head
offshore looking for a big sail, wrestle a tarpon near a Caribbean
river mouth, or choose a quiet spot on Arenal Lake to cast for
guapote, you'll find it here. You can land a marlin anywhere along
the Pacific coast.
Many of the Pacific port and
beach towns -- Quepos, Puntarenas, Playa del Coco, Tamarindo,
Flamingo, Golfito, Drake Bay, Zancudo -- support large charter
fleets and have hotels that cater to anglers. Costs for fishing
trips usually range between $400 and $1,500 per day (depending on
the size of the boat) for boat, captain, tackle, drinks, and
lunch, so the cost per person is dependent on the size of the
group.
Costa Rica Outdoors is a well-established operation, run by
longtime resident, fisherman, and outdoor writer Jerry Ruhlow,
that specializes in booking fishing trips around the country.
