Marlin fishing in Costa Rica!

Been crazy good offseason fishing here in Costa Rica! Typically, we consider September and October to be our off season fishing months, but man last trip out we nailed the huge Blue Marlin in the first picture! We've also had tons of sailfish hits each trip out, the bottom fishing has been doing really well also. Lots of Group and Snapper out for lunch. Inshore there have been some nice large Roosterfish out, and it's been very flat and dry. Blue water is about 8 miles off the coast now and the fish have been coming right up to the 12-15 miles mark as well! There were quite a few schools of Yellow Fin out a little earlier in the year, but that's kind of winding down now. It's been a blast out here lately, and with our official high season starting in November, I expect the fishing to get better and better. To prepare for that, we've got the boat up right now and we're repainting all the little fish we paint on the bottom of the boat, and we've got a ton of new gear we're putting on as well. Should be a great year, be putting up more fish pictures soon!

Nice catch! Roosterfish definitely on my to-catch fish. What about fishing during the spring in April?

Thanks for sharing. Costa Rica has always been on my bucket list, hopefully I'll be able to make it there in the next 2 years and experience that kind of fishing.

Love to have you. Make sure you come from November to April, that's when all the billfish are here (I guess they are here year round, but that is when we get the most numbers). I get discounts on everything here as well, love to hook you up! Love to have you, just let me know!

The roosterfish is beastly! How much did it cost to charter something like that?
