What anglers said about fishing in Guanacaste

Sun screen. Hydrate. Patience. Enjoy every second being on the ocean. Watch for leatherback turtles. We saw two giant ones mating! You might get a pelican to join you. If you are at risk of motion sickness, get the patch or whatever you need to stay healthy on the water.

Great scenery, and good variety for fishing. If you want to catch mahi and billfish book a full day and get out to deeper water.

Be ready for a great experience! Just being out on the ocean was a great experience and the fishing is very enjoyable. Recognize there may be significant periods of waiting for the fish to bite.

Go Offshore book on this site, do not book through the hotels. We did that on another trip and it was terrible.

Captain and crew were most accommodating and accomplished. Charter ended up running longer in attempt to satisfy a gentleman's bet and did not disappoint. Highly reccomended from a FL based resident with plenty of fishing experience.

Do at least a 3/4 day if interested in catching bigger fish to allow for time to find fish.

Offshore bite can vary quite a bit, but your odds of landing multiple billfish in a single day are high.

Una opción es seguir las indicaciones del capitán sobre cuál es el plan de pesca más adecuado. En mayo puede ser más recomendable un Roosterfish.

Be sure to ask your captain what is biting before booking. Don’t 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.

Just get out there and give it a shot. It’s a great spot to fish if not the best and this crew will put you on fish!

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!

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