Fishing in Coco

Welcome to Playas del Coco, Costa Rica's premier fishing destination in Guanacaste! This vibrant coastal town offers unparalleled access to the nutrient-rich Gulf of Papagayo, where anglers target legendary species year-round. Inshore waters thrive with hard-fighting roosterfish, jacks, and snapper – perfect for fly fishing along Coco Beach or secluded Playa Tinoco. Just minutes offshore, Bat Island and deeper grounds deliver explosive action with sailfish, blue marlin, and striped marlin, plus acrobatic dorado and yellowfin tuna. The peak season from December through April brings optimal conditions, though June kicks off exceptional tuna runs and cubera snapper activity.

Expert-led coco fishing charters deploy specialized techniques like trolling for pelagic giants or casting lures near rocky structures. Whether battling trophy marlin offshore or sight-casting to roosterfish in Coco Bay's turquoise shallows, the region's biodiversity guarantees thrilling encounters. Modern fleets equipped with quality gear navigate diverse ecosystems – from protected bays to open-ocean currents – ensuring memorable adventures for novice anglers and seasoned sportfishers alike. With reliable year-round bites and stunning Pacific backdrops, Playas del Coco stands as Central America's ultimate big-game fishing frontier.

Coco Fishing Seasons

January

With plenty of sunshine and no rain, January is a great escape from the winter. You’ll most likely catch inshore species such as Roosterfish, Grouper, and Jack Crevalle.

February

February is typically the windiest month in the area, but you can still target all of the inshore species. When it comes to offshore trips, you’re most likely to catch Mahi Mahi and Marlin.

March

This is the hottest month of the year, so be extra cautious with sun protection. Fishing opportunities are promising as always for inshore species, while the deep seas start heating up, too.

April

It’s still peak season for Grouper and Jack Crevalle, so you may want to focus your attention on the reefs or inshore. However, you could still find some monster creatures offshore, too.

May

This is where it gets interesting for big game fishing! The peak season for Sailfish starts in May, and there’s also more Wahoo and Mahi Mahi out there. Roosterfishing inshore is also hotter than usual.

June

The fishing only gets better in June! This is when you can also catch Yellowfin Tuna and the peak season for Cubera Snapper begins, so wherever you head, you're in for an incredible adventure.

July

The dry season is long gone and heavy rains are on their way, although, not regularly. July is one of the best months for big game fishing, so dodge the showers and head offshore to get your fill.

August

Lots of species reach their peak in August, so make the most of your summer vacation by coming to Coco Beach. You’re very likely to catch Sailfish, Wahoo, and Marlin, while inshore fishing is great, as always.

September

You could say that September is a “peak month” all around. This is when you’ll get the most rain but also the best chances for both big game and inshore fishing, so come and catch 'em all. 

October

As the rainy season stops, big game fishing slows down as well. You can still catch lots of Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi in the deep, so not all is lost. And, don't forget, inshore and nearshore are both great. 

November

Cubera Snapper and Yellowfin Tuna are still easy to catch and don't forget the main star of the show – Roosterfish. Wherever you head, there's some exciting fishing to be had with some extra special rewards!

December

In winter, the focus switches from big game to inshore fishing. Spend the holidays targeting Grouper, Snapper, Jack Crevalle, and more in the shallow waters as you see out the year in style.
