Jacó Fishing Seasons
January
Jacó begins the new year in style. This is peak Billfish season, but that's not all you can catch from Los Sueños. Expect Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna. Don't miss the Triple Crown Tournament!
February
Costa Rica fishing centers around Los Sueños in February. This is the best month of the year to catch Sailfish, with up to 30 hookups in a day being a relatively common occurrence. Better get out on the water fast!
March
Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna continue to make offshore fishing well worth your time. With hot dry weather and unforgettable fishing, Jacó and Los Sueños can make an ideal spot for Spring Break.
April
April is the last month of Costa Rica's dry season, and it's very hot. Make the most of the end of the peak season for the offshore pelagics and go out in search of Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Marlin.
May
With rains come floods, which sweep floating debris out into the sea. This is perfect for Mahi Mahi fishing! Roosterfish, Snook, and Cubera Snapper also love the rain, so inshore is plenty of fun too.
June
Wet and rainy weather continues, with the very best fishing being inshore for Roosterfish and more. Look for them feeding on bluerunners, who are loving the cooler waters caused by the rain.
July
Come fishing in Jacó in July, and this town's year-round fishery will not leave you disappointed, even though it's off-season. Look for Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi offshore, or fish the reefs for Jacks and Rainbow Runner.
August
August is a great time to bag a discount in Costa Rica. With most tourists staying away because of the rain, you'll have a discounted rate at your hotel. And with hot Roosterfish action awaiting you, what more could you want?
September
The rain gets more intense after a brief respite in July and August. But if you can brave the weather, you'll find that numbers of Sailfish and Marlin are heating offshore, with Roosterfish remaining good inshore.
October
Expect Sailfish, Blue and Striped Marlin, and large numbers of Mahi Mahi to start showing up in Jacó's offshore waterways. Snappers and Groupers are still making for great table fare. Look for them over the local reefs.
November
The rainy season is finally over, and Billfish fishing gets serious once again. Look for Blue and Black Marlin as well as Costa Rica's specialty – the Sailfish in the deep waters of the Pacific.
December
Expect calm seas and amazing fishing. Come to Jacó in December, and you won't be alone – this is peak tourist season. It isn't hard to see why. The seas are calm and hook ups of Sailfish and even Marlin are common.
