If you're renting a vehicle, don't trust Google Maps to get you there easily if coming from the Northwest. Some of the roads I drove to get there were rather dicey. Steep, narrow and rough dirt roads with wash outs were encountered on several parts on my trip, making it difficult for anything less to get there safely other than a SUV. Get local advice and go the long way to stay on the paved roads instead. Having said that, the fishing was worth it!

September, we were told, is the low season month for fishing. If that is the case, I canโt imagine high season as we had 3 blue marlin, 15 yellowfin tuna and 1 sailfish.

Quepos Fishing โ MoonWalker
Be open to different styles and techniques of fishing. It's a balance that can't be beat in terms of fun and producing results.

Hidalgo Sportsfishing
We wanted to catch table fish and we did. Tuna was what we were looking for and we ended up with about 25 lbs of fillets.

Capullo Sportfishing/Rainbow Runner
Fishing is always an unknown...took a while for us to get some hits, but the crew didn't waste time in areas that weren't working, they moved to other areas and tried other types of lures. They did whatever they could to help us catch some fish. They'll also do as little or as much as you want. We like to cast and reel in ourselves, but if you aren't an accomplished fisherman, they can do everything up to hooking it and then turn it over to you for the hard work!

Book a full day so you can go out deep after the big fish like blue marlin and sailfish. We didn't catch a huge number of fish but the 10 ft blue marlin made up for the number. Took about an hour of our trip just to get him to the boat.

Allin Sportfishing - 28โ Mako
No need to bring rain gear or jackets. Even with rain it was well into the high 80โs and the wind while trolling was refreshing.
If you keep fish, make sure your hotel will cook it. JW Marriott Guanacaste will not, but the staff will appreciate the fresh fish.

Pichel Fishing Tour
Make sure to use bathroom before, have a really big breakfast, and wear hard-to-stain clothing as the fish can get pretty bloody. Maybe also bring nausea medicine. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also good to bring.

Hidalgo Sportsfishing
If you want massive fish, you have to go deep. If youโre going for meat you can pull from shallow water, if you want pictures and a fight spend the money and go 20 miles out

Bring a cooler if you plan to take fish home. There is an ice vending machine just outside the launch beach.
