Who

Our owner and part time captain Jim Wilson a canadian turning costa rican, has been fishing most of his life.  it used to be the Queen Charlottes but as he got older and the weather seemed to get colder he found his way south.ates or deckhands all try to keep busy and we have our choice of three or four of the best at the marina on any given day. We usually just have one working the "pit" but if we feel a need to have two, its easily arranged.

Costa Rica Sport Fishing

If you have never been fishing in Costa Rica or made the trip to Costa Rica then you must come down and try it. It has everything to offer that a tropical "fishing paradise" is supposed to have plus so much more. Quepos   is located about midway of the pacific coast of Costa Rica. A brand new marina will bring boats and tourists and everything that they need. This will be the hot spot of the future.

At present time there are not a lot of fully insured coast guard inspected boats but we are one of them.  Costa Rica practices catch and release of all billfish but when we see a tuna or Dorado we know the BBQs will be action later that night.

Words of Advice

No matter what you are targeting you must make sure you have a good boat, well looked after tackle with sharp hooks and a good captain mate team.  These fish are quick capable of beating you or breaking a weak rod in a long fight. Fish like marlin, yellow fin tuna, or other big game species of Costa Rica are very large and powerful fish and to properly fish for and especially land one of these monstrous beauties takes an experienced charter Captain that knows what to do in every situation. 

Ask any captain before booking about a hands on approach if that’s what you desire. Anything from tying a ballyhoo to dropping a bait back for a sail or doing a bait and switch pulling a teaser away from a well lit up fish and throwing a bait at it. It’s a blast. Do try to participate in hooking your own fish you learn more and really get immersed into what Costa Rica fishing is all about.

Marlin Fishing

Marlin are without a doubt the most prized fish available in the Costa Rica Pacific Ocean. Costa Rica marlin fishing means blue marlin, black marlin, and even striped marlin and many sport fishermen will travel to Costa Rica to fish for marlin only and will pay little if any attention to the many other wonderful species available while sport fishing in Costa Rica. This type of angler is usually an enthusiastic sportfishing adventure seeker with only one thing in mind, to take advantage of these exceptional Costa Rica fishing grounds and get hooked up with the biggest marlin possible. Many of these marlin hunters are looking to catch what they call a grander, or what would be a 1000 pound marlin.

Tuna Fishing

Yellowfin tuna fishing in Costa Rica also offers fast action for visiting anglers looking to catch a large hard charging fish that will challenge their fishing skills. Yellowfin tuna are strong swimmers that use pure brute force to make deep dives and long reel screaming runs to shake the hook loose and escape back to the freedom of the ocean. Tuna are a formidable adversary and will certainly challenge your fishing knowledge and physical strength and a large hard fighting tuna can leave even the best anglers mentally and physically drained. But it will all be worth it when you succeed in boating this magnificent creature and have him cooking on the grill later that same evening.

The Catch

Deep sea fishing in Costa Rica has great marlin fishing, it has great tuna fishing, but what about the many other popular species that roam the Costa Rica fishing grounds of the Pacific Ocean? Well as you like know the fishing in Costa Rica is exceptional and while marlin fishing is a major draw for the area many visiting anglers just want to catch something big. Anglers that come here to just catch something big usually go home very satisfied, with pictures to prove it.

Ask the anglers what they want to catch and you will likely get 5 different answers. Some will say Pacific sailfish, or a wahoo, a big bull dolphin, or how about a big roosterfish? The good news is we catch all of these species, plus some others, throughout most of the year and during our summer months from Dec to late May they are all here.
