What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste for the first time?

February fishing is not one of the best fishing months of the year. However, we were in Playa Flamingo for 11 days and went on 3 fishing trips and had really great luck for all 3. February for us turned out great! We brought our own surf poles, but had no luck. I recommend fishing with a local guide.

pay a little more if you want more variety and gamers. we went for Dorado (mahi mahi) and tuna. we hit Dorado during our trip and were happy because all 6 of us caught fish! it's one of the only charters I could find in this price range for 5 hours. most others were 4 hours for the same price. crew made it effortless. highly recommend! Also saw a lot of Dolphins and Leatherback Sea Turtles as an added bonus!

Listen to your captain and realize if your fishing in June targeting specific fish may be a recipe for an empty bag at the end of the day. We let Boos Adventures and capt. Walter target what was available and caught 8 mahi on a day where very few boats caught any thing. Also realize the marina is not a typical marina with boat slips but boarding at the boat ramp is easy enough and Boos was there right on time with our boat. Do your research before you book. Not all boats and captains are created equal. Some are in better condition than others and some are catch a lot more fish.

Pick a good boat and crew! We had a wonderful half-day of fishing and came back with four beautiful dorado. I'll be back for another trip!

Gret fleet. Best fishing I've ever had. I live in Costa Rica and can fish anywhere. I choose to drive 4 hours to Flamingo.

Our trip was action packed - a hit about every 15 minutes with a good fight to reel in each one. The crew was positive, helpful and informative.

Great experience for me and my family of two girls, a young boy, my wife, and father.

Absolutely fishing was great lots of Mahi Mahi and a double on Sail Fish Ausume time

You never know what you will catch and it really doesn't matter as long as you catch fish!
