Try shoreline first because it is more accessible and there are plenty of fish.
DEEP SEA: At least 2 persons, spend the dollars for a larger boat, try to avoid turist season.

I'd definitely recommend fishing out of Sierpe - it's totally different that fishing out of a large marina... Super cool experience. You get to see the Sierpe River and experience great fishing conditions in a very nice area of Costa Rica.

Go for a full day if you want to catch multiple fish. Don't get too worked up over the little things, they work hard for you. Enjoy the experience come what may
Pura Vida.

Be sure to ask your captain what is biting before booking. Donโt try to go after a full day fish with only a half day trip. I think if you fish the reef on a half day trip you will be extremely satisfied.

The weather tends to be nice in early May. Low chances of rain, especially during the mornings. It's not usually too windy, so not very choppy. There's mahi to be had at this time of the year, though they tend to be on the smaller size. You can go chase yellow-tail, but it might be too far offshore for a half-day trip, so if yellow-tail is your target I'd go for a full-day trip. Bring lots of sunscreen and sun protection (long sleeve shirt, hat, sunglasses)

De voyage au Costa Rica avec ma femme pour 15 jours, j'ai rรฉservรฉ une journรฉe de pรชche au Tarpon avec le capitaine star de Tortuguero: Primo. Une journรฉe de rรชve entourรฉ de gros tarpons, j'en ai fait sauter 8 et en ai pris deux, un de 50kg et un de 80kg. Le bateau et le matรฉriel sont au top et le capitaine est extraordinaire.
Je reviendrai de faรงon certaine pour pรชcher au moins une semaine en sa compagnie.

Be prepared for the heat, and follow the captains advise. You canโt change what is biting and what is not.

Bring good protection from the sun if you aren't used to it. If you haven't fished in trophy ocean waters, be prepared to fight bigger (and stronger) fish than you. You never really know when you'll hook into the big one!

Make sure your captain has bait lined up before you arrive. It's gonna take time to fish for the big stuff and there is Nooo reason to pay to bait fish.

If you are looking for flyfishing for freshwater fish, floating the Rio Corobici is a great experience!

Be prepared for a workout on a yellow fin tuna. Much harder than I expected but worth the all the effort!
