World-Class Costa Rica Fishing Trips
Flamingo Beach Resort is the major sport-fishing center in
the northern coastal area of Costa Rica. Experience the thrill and
challenge of landing a world-record catch on one of the exciting
Costa Rica fishing charters departing daily from our oceanfront
resort. Sport-fishing vessels often travel 20 miles or more off
shore to find game fish. But hooking a fish is only the beginning
- the real sport lies in the fight that follows. Boats also charter
out of nearby Coco's Beach, Tamarindo, Ocotal, Portero, and
Brasilito, as well as other nearby towns. Fishing charters can
be arranged prior to your arrival by contacting the resort tour
desk directly.

The Types Of Fish You Can Catch
Sailfish
Although they're caught throughout the year, May through August is
the high season. The sailfish population begins to thin out in
September, with the slowest months being October and November.
Marlin
Marlin are caught year-round, with mid-November to early March being
the best months. The numbers turn down slightly from April through
early June, then pick up again, gaining steam in August and September.
Tuna
The prime months for catching tuna are August through October. Yellowfin
and big eye tuna are often located well inside the Santa Catalina Islands
- just 30 minutes or less from the beach - while schools of 12- to 200-
pounders are usually more abundant outside. Concentrations of 40- to 60
-pound tuna are frequently caught, and a fair number of 200- to 400-pounders
brought in every year.
Dorado
More commonly known as dolphin, these colorful gamesters are more abundant
from late May through October. At this time, seasonal rains flood the rivers
and carry out debris, which form trash lines close inshore. Dorado like to
lie beneath these. And if you troll past a floating log, you're likely to
hook one.
Wahoo
The first signs of wahoo begin when the rains start in May, peaking in July
and August. Most are caught around rocky points and islands, but you can
occasionally pick one up fishing offshore.
Roosterfish
Although they are available year round, more roosterfish are caught in the
Papagayo Bay area from November through March. This is because many of the
local boats are inshore during these windy months. "Roosters" like the
structure of the shoreline and islands, where they're found in 50 to 60 feet
of water.
