Fresh Jacó Fishing Reports

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

Wear shorts and flip flops due to wading to dingy to take you to the boat. Be prepared to take fish home with you.

What ever is in season, follow your captains recommendation. He wants you to catch fish!

I would spend the extra dollars for the larger boats and professional crews

we looked for a in-shore boat that provided cover from the sun - Costa Rica is only 8-12 degrees north of the equator the sun is very hot and very bright - bring good sun glasses preferably ones that cover the sides or wrap around -

Sign up for fishing trip with Capt Henry Reyes and First Mate William on the Allin Sportfishing - 28’ Mako. This crew and outfit helped our crew of three first time deep sea anglers haul in a catch of 1 Mahi Mahi, 2 Sailfish, and 2 Red Snapper. It was a great day on the water and an unforgettable experience.

Talk with Captain before hand so you will be on same page as to what you want.

Try to go earlier ...Jan or Feb....we went March 5 and still got 3 Sailfish, but things slow down some by then.

Don't go crazy the night before. Eat a good breakfast. Hydrate all day and make sure to bring a camera.

In January, fishing out of Jaco for sails and marlin is usually quite good...especially on the larger boats going out 30-40 miles. But if you are interested in only dinner fish like grouper and snapper, I would recommend just a half-day trip on a smaller boat fishing more inshore.
