from the rest. One of the most beautiful though is the
Costa Rica area. The Costa Rica fishing will not disappoint
you. Not only will you come home with a beautiful species
sample, but also some good eating. There is a wide selection
of fish to choose from when setting out on the Costa
Rica fishing adventure.
The sailfish is one of the most popular hunts in the
Costa Rica fishing expedition. These fish have made
their way to the wondrous waters of Costa Rica and into
the dreams of every angler around the world. The time
of year does not matter when looking to hook a sailfish
they are there yearlong. The tournaments however are
held mainly in February, but can be expected anywhere
from December to March. In the Costa Rica waters a fisherman
can expect to hook anywhere from 15-20 sailfish per
good fishing day!
The gigantic Marlin is another prized hook for anglers
around the world. These fish can grow to around 200 pounds
and can give you a run for your money. If it is Marlin

Southern waters of Costa Rica. Many of the Marlin anglers
will stay around the Golfito area for the optimal results.
Another great Costa Rica fishing adventure is the hunt
for Dorado. The Dorado is one of the leading catches
in the Costa Rica waters. They are very popular because
of their wonderful taste. They are very colorful fish
that are very quick, so you better eat your Wheaties
before setting out. Some anglers have reported that
the Dorado can reach about 50 miles per hour! The best
time to fish for the Dorado is between November and
May, when they are most abundant.
There are several other types of fish that can be caught
