What anglers said about fishing in Puntarenas Province

September, we were told, is the low season month for fishing. If that is the case, I canโ€™t imagine high season as we had 3 blue marlin, 15 yellowfin tuna and 1 sailfish.

Yes the captain has great at finding the fish and we had a great time. Herradura was a good port to go out of. Would highly recommend.

Book a full day so you can go out deep after the big fish like blue marlin and sailfish. We didn't catch a huge number of fish but the 10 ft blue marlin made up for the number. Took about an hour of our trip just to get him to the boat.

Make sure to use bathroom before, have a really big breakfast, and wear hard-to-stain clothing as the fish can get pretty bloody. Maybe also bring nausea medicine. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also good to bring.

The fishing license seems hard to do but itโ€™s really easy and quick at the marina. 630-730am only. No English spoken but other non Spanish speakers were able to navigate it easy peasy.

Wear a rain jacket, hat and something to cover your face. It can be sunny and hot and rainy all on the same trip. The waves were high, so the sea spray will get you which is part of the adventure! Be prepared for big fish!

If you plan to bring your own terminal tackle, make sure that the captain and deckhand will allow you to use it. Also, ask about what type of fish is in season and what will you be going after during your trip such as if you would like to do a combo trip (both offshore and bottom fishing either on your way out or coming back in. ).
Very good

Bring a long sleeve shirt thatโ€™s not tight and maybe a light rain jacket if itโ€™s rainy season. We wore both on the way back because it was stormy and raining.

Prepare for a long boat ride to get to the tuna this time of year; I thought we'd be much closer to shore. Sporadic action but when it's on...it's on.
