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.
