Fishing in Quepos

Quepos, Costa Rica, stands as a premier Pacific Coast fishing destination, renowned for its exceptional billfish action and year-round opportunities. Nestled near Manuel Antonio National Park, this vibrant town offers access to nutrient-rich waters teeming with sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, and dorado. Peak season from December to April delivers world-class sailfish numbers, often exceeding 30 releases daily, while May through November brings intense inshore action for roosterfish and snook.

The Marina Pez Vela serves as the modern hub for charters exploring productive grounds like El Furuno Canyon and Punta Quepos Ledge, located 15-40 miles offshore. Inshore anglers thrive in estuaries such as Rio Naranjo and Estero Dames, targeting species like roosterfish and snapper in mangrove ecosystems. Whether battling acrobatic sailfish offshore or tackling hard-fighting roosterfish near coastal river mouths, Quepos delivers diverse experiences across its biodiverse marine habitats.

Quepos Fishing Seasons

January

Kick off the year with screaming drag and multiple hookups of Wahoo, Sailfish, and Mahi Mahi, with the constant chance of a Marlin making each bite even more exciting.

February

Can you think of anything more romantic than cruising out to the beautiful beaches of Tortuga Island next Valentine's Day? How about battling monster pelagics offshore? OK, Maybe not romantic, but certainly fun!

March

March is the driest month of the year in Costa Rica, making for great fishing both inshore and offshore. Sight fish for Roosterfish and Snook inshore, or troll for Billfish, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi offshore.

April

April is tournament season in Quepos, with the IGFA World Championships taking center stage among the many Billfishing competitions in the area. This also makes April a very expensive time to visit.

May

Blue Marlin really hit their stride in Quepos by May, joined by big Yellowfin Tuna and the permanent populations of Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. The reefs and shallows are also packed with great fish.

June

The high chance of rain can sometimes wash out the best fishing offshore, but you can always hit the reefs for some tasty Snapper. If you're up for a fight, fish the river mouths for big Roosterfish.

July

The rain usually drops off slightly in July, ahead of the biggest downpours of rainy season. Blue and Black Marlin are both around in big numbers this time of year, so take your chance and get out there!

August

August is much the same as any month in Quepos, meaning that it's amazing! Fish inshore for Roosterfish, Snook, and Jacks, hit the reefs for Snapper, Grouper, and Barracuda, or head offshore for big Billfish.

September

All of Central America gained independence on the same day in 1821. These days, September 15 is celebrated with parades, fairs, music, and dancing. Combine your angling adventure with a fiesta!

October

The bite may slow up offshore in October, but things never get dull inshore. You could spend the rest of your life here and never get bored of the awesome inshore species like Roosterfish and Cubera Snapper.

November

The rain finally drops off in November, making heading offshore more feasible. As always, you'll be met by a great mixed group of pelagic species, including Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Marlin.

December

Beautiful green countryside, a sunny 85 degrees, world-class fishing.. if Quepos isn't at the top of your list for the holiday season it certainly should be! It won't exactly be a White Christmas, but you'll manage.

Don’t think you know more than the captain. Listen to there advice, go where they recommend and fish for what they recommend. Bait fish, why spend time catching bait fish? Because the fish you are fishing for like live fish and the little time you spend doing that usually pays off!

It’s the rainforest. Don’t be surprised if it rains or is hot and humid. The drop off of the continental shelf is over 20 miles off shore. If you’re going off shore expect a very long boat ride.
