Inshore Fishing in Quepos
Quepos inshore fishing is endlessly enjoyable no matter how accomplished an angler you are. The area’s shallow bays and river mouths regularly produce record-worthy catches of Roosterfish, not to mention the current all-tackle record for Snook. Inshore charters offer more than just great fishing, though. The waters are warm and clear and perfect for snorkeling, making this a dream spot for a family day out.
What can I expect from an inshore trip
The main target of most half day trips out of Quepos will be Roosterfish. This hard-fighting and exotic fish is a really big deal here and with good reason. Some of the biggest Roosterfish in the world can be found in the river mouths nearby. There is no shortage of small rivers, either, which makes hooking one of these guys even more achievable.
The other main species you will be targeting are Jacks and Snook. These are both hard fighters, although missing some of the flair which makes Roosterfish so popular. All three species like to hang out in similar conditions, so even a full day charter will give you plenty of action.
The advantage of booking in for a full day is you can spend the morning feisty game fish, then head to one of the many local reefs and rocky outcrops to fish for Cubera Snapper and Triggerfish. These are excellent table fare and will make for the perfect end to a long, hard day on the water.
How much will it cost
Let’s not beat around the bush: charters in Quepos aren’t cheap. A half day on a decent center console will start at around $500, with full days costing at least half as much again. If you want something a bit more comfortable, you can charter a flybridge boat in the 30’ range for around $750 for a half day, and &1200 for a full day.

Cash is king; almost all transportation is cash only (dollars or colones). Sunscreen and proper clothing; the sun is strong and the humidity is high.

Go offshore. We did inshore last year and only caught 3 fish all day. Offshore we caught 25+ and they were so fun to catch. Wear lots of sunscreen!

I would recommend to prepare for the sun and heat!! Bring lightweight, long sleeved shirt, hat and lots of sunscreen. Also, have a plan for any fish you catch!

Make sure your captain takes the time to catch live bait if you're fishing inshore! The more bait you have, the better.

Be prepared for afternoon heat. PRE hydrate. If prone to seasickness, reconsider. Dont drink too much alcohol, makes it hard to fight big fish. Remember some fish are compulsory catch and release. Billfish often explode spectacularly out of the water, keep cameras ready. The biology of the ocean is not under your control; if fish dont hit thats life. Likewise they may hit big time; be ready. Crews are lifelong experts, trust them to do a brilliant job. Pura vida and good fishing.

Couldn't believe how much we caught. Ended up heading in early because one of our kiddos was really sea sick the but crew even helped him catch a huge sailfish.

Do not go to catch, go to fish. Itโs the experience that matters and catching is the reward.

Ask the captain to explain what the plan was, we were unsure so asked. We did some inshore fishing. They help hook fish and you reel it in. They knew the spots and were excellent at fishing. Recommend the crew and boat.

We were fishing for the first time here. We left with no real expectations except that the crew would do their best to put us on fish and that's exactly what they did. We cannot recommend them enough!

If youโre really into catching lots of fish you should book for Costa Rica trip around the time that particular fish is running. We had hoped for tuna, but this wasnโt the time to catch tuna. Communication with the captain is essential. We were very happy with the Mahi we caught.

Sunscreen and hydration!!! Surprisingly, there were no bugs this time of year. Finally, sun protection and water!!! The sun here is no joke. Long pants and sleeves are best. And a good hat and glasses.
