Inshore Fishing
Inshore fishing is the best way to catch the much sought after rooster fish an assortment of jacks and the tasty snappers.
Weighing up to 100lbs and fighting like Mike Tyson right to the point you drop it onto the deck; the rooster is the real sportsman’s prize. Just don’t let its appearance fool you. Its elegant seven spine fin is great for a photograph, but if its food you are after, we suggest you scour the ocean floor for a snapper.
Off-shore
If you are looking for bigger fish to fry then your best bet is to move off-shore into the gulf’s deeper waters. This Costa Rica travel package gives you the chance to hook one of the common sail fish, sailfish’s buddy the Dorado or even the infamous marlin.
It was an 18ft marlin that Santiago battled and defeated in Ernest Hemmingway’s Old Man and the Sea. While this is an extraordinary feat for any fisherman, it is not entirely fiction. They can weigh up to 800lbs and on average between 200 and 300lbs. Real monsters in comparison to the Sailfish who has been coined as the ballerina of the sea. And for good reason, twisting and leaping on the end of your hook like Nijinsky.
