What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Quepos, Puntarenas for the first time?

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

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.

Prepare yourself for the angry Costa Rican sun ☀️! The fishing is great, but Mother Nature will make you pay for every catch!

Just, enjoy it, your not always going to catch fish. It's called fishing not catching. For new people this is perfect, you can see the beautiful land and hopefully have lot's of action.!

This trip is recommended for first time anglers. Both my boys in their 20’s caught a fish on their first try.

Ask what is in season and what is currently being caught. A full day is a long one but can be rewarding. We caught two sail fish that were amazing!

The fishing isn’t as good as other points of the year, but still better than 95% of other countries.

Make sure your boat is out of the main marina and that you have all the bait and everything on board before you leave

Not the best time of year to catch fish, but the charters out of Quepos give you the best chance of catching them. The port was very well kept, clean, and professional. A great experience.

Fish bite was slow when we went in June but still managed to hook on 3 Sailfish and landed 2 of them

Quepos in June produces, the weather might put you in a bind depending on how the storms line up but the fish are there and eating.

Temper your expectations and listen to your crew. We had an idea of what we wanted - we communicated that and were open to being agile on the bite.

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.

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.

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.

Tuna were a great fish to go after. The water was amazing and I would have to say some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced.

Hire a local panga like Hidalgo Sportfishing - it is cheaper and supports the locals. You get great opportunity to fish with the full attention of a local captain who really knows the hot spots.

Understand it is into the rainy season, so the weather and waves can be rough. Still big fish to be caught.

Quepos is a little further down the road than Jaco, Herridura or Los Suenos but worth the trip. See the Monkeys on the beach at the parquet, fish Marina Pez Villa it's Pura Vida!

It was just ok, two charters caught 1 sailfish. Could have done that state side for a lot less. Jaco fish trip was better with 4 sailfish releases.

Yes! Beautiful marina and amazing waters! The tic and are super hospitable, too!

Don’t hire this crew and do some homework Lots of money time and effort to catch nothing

It’s expensive to fish here. You either wanna just fish or you want luxury. You pick.

Online they told that mahi would be around. They werent! Still neeed to catch mahi!

The parking can be tricking so give yourself some time to figure it out so you’re not late.

If you are prone to motion sickness, take Dramamine the night before and morning of the trip.

if you’re looking to go fishing in quepos for a killer price, don’t look any further!

Bring rain gear if the rainy season lingers longer than it should have like it did for us.

We got some fish but rained most of the time we were here. Was supposed to be dry season.

Patience!!! It's called fishing not catching. Be ready to troll for hours it's just how it's done.
