Sport Fishing
Variety, size, consistency, and excitement sum up the fishing around our Costa Rica Vacation Rental, Villa Cielo Rosa.
|
|
While deep sea fishing along the Pacific Coast in the Gulf of Papagayo, anglers will find some of the best blue water and inshore fishing in the world. Sailfish, Marlin, roosterfish, mahi-mahi, yellow-fin tuna, grouper, snapper and wahoo are among the common game fish. There is also fresh water fishing at Lake Arenal and others could net you a local rainbow bass.
The fertile fishing grounds of the Gulf of Papagayo provides year round action for approximately 25 varieties of sportsfish. Although most famous for its sailfishing from April thru September, these same waters produce great marlin catches almost every month of the year. During peak months, boats regularly raise 10 to 20 sailfish each day. But sails are caught year round averaging 2 to 4 sails raised per day from October thru March. Boat crews are experienced to assist light tackle and fly fishermen that want to challenge these 100+ pound fish.
Apart from billfish, probably the most sought after prey for the sport fishermen is the rooster fish. More trophy size roosters are taken from these waters than any place in the world. Generally taken on live bait, 40 to 60 pound roosters can be taken year round. Other popular fish include snapper, wahoo, dorado and yellow fin tuna. January 1995 produced several record yellow fin tuna in this area, the largest weighing in at 221 pounds.

Rooster Fish
This "String Stretching" monster will surely let you know what a "fish fight" is all about. Rooster Fish are well known for their ability to make an angler's arm very sore. Any one that goes fishing in Costa Rica needs to compete with one of these fish at least once.
