Fishing in Central Pacific Costa Rica Marlin are one of the most prized and sought after game fish in the world. Costa Rica is fortunate enough to have three different types of Marlin roaming its Pacific coast. One unique thing about Costa Rica is that Marlin can be taken any month of the year. Fishing Pacific Blue Marlin: the most frequent of the Marlins taken here, three to five hundred pounders are frequently landed. Costa Rica has yet to see a grander, although several fish over 900 lbs have been taken and fish over 1000 lbs have been hooked and lost.
Fishing Black Marlin: also taken in the same waters. Several fish over 700 lbs. have been recorded and it has been reported that much larger fish have been hooked up.
Fishing Striped Marlin: the fish that those lucky enough to have taken grand slams in this country are looking for. These brilliant fighters average around 150 to 200 lbs.
Fishing season: october is normally the top month for fishing Marlin in this area, but action is also good in september and november. Occasional Blue Marlin and the rare Black Marlin are likely to be found anytime of year.

There's no wonder why some of the world's most esteemed biilfish tournaments are held in Costa Rica. The beautiful fish, spending more time in the air than in the water during the fight is not as powerful as the Marlin, but always spectacular. Double and triple hookups are not uncommon. February is the key month with the highest concentration of Sailfish and the possibility of 20 or 30 hookups a day. Year round availability of Sailfish make it a world leader for anglers.
Fishing season: mid-december to the end of april is rated the best fishing season, but the big schools often move in about october and stay longer. A few sails always show among the catch from june through september, mixed with other species that are found inshore during those months.

An extremely colorful fish, Dorados are extremely fast swimmers. A hooked Dorado might leap or tailwalk, first in one direction, then another. It's been estimated that they can reach speeds of 50 mph (80 kmh) in short bursts. Look for them under trash lines that accumulate during the rainy season (roughly may to december). Schools of Dorado can become a nuisance for anglers looking for the larger Billfish lurking below the school. The Dorado is a delicious food fish.

The fish can be found anywhere in the ocean but does seem to concentrate during the summer off of Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Considered a relatively rare species, the Wahoo is usually caught while the angler is looking for other oceanic species. That's always a nice surprise because many fisherman consider the Wahoo one of salt water's finest delicacies. Experts speculate that the Wahoo is the fastest fish in the ocean and it's no wonder that the first scorching run can burn out the drag on some reels.
Fishing season: abundant in South Pacific (Drake bay and Caños island area) from late june to early august.
