Puntarenas Province Fishing Reports

Its hot.... sun protection and cooling off in cold water is essential. Be prepared for the hours of trolling

Take the time to get to know the local captains. They know where the fish are!

Great time for rooster , snapper and mahi although bill fish bite coming on a little early too. Blame that on al gore I guess.

Full day is best to get out as far as you need to fish for the big fish. Bathe yourself in sunscreen!

Make sure you come during the season of the fish that you want to catch.

Fish with Jessie and his dad, they were awesome!

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

Check the reviews on fishingbooker.com and book your trip from there. Allin Sportfishing out of Herradura was awesome.

Live bait for rooster is definitely the best, especially if you're looking for a big one ! Once done, move to popping and jigging around the rocks... soooo good !!

Remember that it's called "fishing" and not "catching" for a reason. Some days the fish just aren't there. Understand which months are best for the type of fish you're hoping to catch. If you've got specific questions, contact the respective charter contact for details. All of them seemed very willing to assist and answer any questions.
