Pick the right crew and boat and you'll find the fish even though it may not be the perfect time of year.

The Mahi Mahi and Yellowfin are plentiful in August and the weather is goegeous! A bit of rain here and there but nothing you can’t handle!

Probably some of the best fishing in the world out of this port. Bring lots of protection from sun, long sleeve fishing shirts and pull over masks are great

Get a better boat for your trip don’t trust pictures for sure. You really need to see them before you book a trip.

These excursions are not for the hardcore fishermen types who want to do everything, i.e., bait the hooks, throw the lines out, etc.,

Only go with professional guides from the Los Suenos Marina if you want to catch fish and not get seasick on a boat that is too small for the swells.

Make sure you ready to catch some fish! Bring appropriate clothing UPF50 as you will be in the sun

It’s a crap shoot in winter. Really look at tides and weather and book accordingly.

Drink a lot of fluids! Not counting beer, it is hot & humid here and subject to hear stress.

If you are going to charter, make sure your boat is out of the marina, not off the beach!

The in shore fishing isn’t good this time of year. Sail fishing was good. Tuna weren’t biting.

Fish early in your trip, so you can eat your catch all week. We had to give away a lot of fish

Fish in the morning this time of year. It rains almost every afternoon at some time.

Summer is the slower part of the season so if possible book a longer trip to give more time

Go with Capitan Andres, and DO NOT rent your car from HERTZ at the San Jose airport.
