Over the last few years, Costa Rica has started to cash in on its massive tourism potential, and with good reason. It is easy to see why countless numbers of tourists – especially anglers -travel there each year - thanks to its golden beaches, which overlook crystal-clear waters, and its lush rainforests, which are home to some very unique species of animals. The angling scene, of course, where almost every year marks a new world record, is one of the keys draws and when visiting Costa Rica for a fishing expedition, you can experience all of this for yourself.

Costa Rica shares boundaries with both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, just like some other nations in Central America and you might already be considering that ideal capture just from that image. However, Costa Rica is special in a variety of ways, as is a Costa Rica fishing experience. Within a short distance of the beach, it boasts a variety of rich reefs, small bays, and deep offshore waters and you are never far from a fish worth catching, regardless of whether you are fishing inland, or taking to the deep blue ocean waters on a fishing charter. ...

You may not know where to begin because there are so many great places to fish in Costa Rica, so we suggest checking TripAdvisor to see which resorts rank top. Some resorts offer a variety of packages, that include deep-sea sport fishing experiences, eco-tours, and more.
No matter what time of year you choose to travel to Costa Rica, you almost certainly always have a chance to catch a bucket list of species. A fishing excursion in Costa Rica is always in the cards because of the abundance of great fishing grounds that give you plenty of chances to catch that big one that you have always dreamed of, and there are several rivers and inshore lakes that are home to a variety of unique animals.

There are more large gamefish in Costa Rica's Pacific Ocean than you can shake a stick at. But trying to hook all the giants from these waters, is the exciting part! From the Panamanian border to the Nicaraguan border there are several National parks, golden beaches, and clear waterways that abound with opportunities, so you can never go wrong by choosing Costa Rica as your fishing destination.

Inshore fishing

One of the coolest-looking fish around is the roosterfish - a staple of Costa Rican shallow-water fishing. However, this creature stands apart from the competition in more ways than one, and not only because of its appearance. Despite what you may think, roosterfish are not the easiest catch, and they do put up a fight, and they will use whatever means necessary to escape your line. If you are aiming for roosterfish, you should come prepared, as reeling in one of these is certainly a memorable experience, but remember to capture the moment in a priceless photo.

Deep sea fishing
However, most serious anglers go to Costa Rica for the big game and local anglers in this area are adamant that their offshore sportfishing is the best in the world. Who can deny that really, given the fact that the IGFA hosts so many fishing events in Costa Rica? Black, Blue, and Striped Marlin as well as Sailfish are plentiful enough in these waters, to draw the attention of any angler, regardless of their skill level.

Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo are also found in these deep seas and all of your fishing dreams will come true if you stay at one of the top sportfishing and Eco Resorts along the Pacific Coast.
