Fishing In Costa Rica - Where To Find The Fish

 


Fishermen fishing in Costa Rica are more than 750 miles from the coastline. It is a large ocean that is largely free of fishing activity. The key to successful fishing on the high seas is knowing where to find fish. Local knowledge is no substitute for finding fish. Every good captain knows where to find fish, but when exploring new fishing grounds, you may find this information helpful.

 

Los Corrientes

The tried and true method of finding sandeel in Costa Rica is fishing "los corrientes". These currents can be noticed by subtle changes in color and temperature. Baitfish and predators in these streams abound. An experienced captain will work on the sides of "los corrientes”. When fishing from Quepos, Jaco or Herradura, captains will find about twenty-five to thirty miles of shore during the sea fish peak season.

 

Underwater geography

Formations on the continental shelf, such as canyons, can accelerate ocean currents. The fast-moving current then catches the bait fish and brings in large game fish. As with seasonal currents, these currents can be noticed by looking for subtle changes in water color or surface temperature. Of course, an experienced Costa Rican coastal fishing guide will have one eye on the bottom (GPS) and one eye on the surface in search of subtle changes.

 


Underwater structure

Reefs or wrecks can provide structure for large bottom fish, including the Cubera snapper and grouper. The structure is also home to plankton and other small organisms that attract bait fish, which in turn attracts large game-seeking fish. Remember that the main structure may be overfished while the potential satellite sites around the structure merge with life. These quieter satellite sites are often accompanied by larger hunts.

 

When deep sea fishing Costa Rica, the importance of local knowledge cannot be overstated. Natural underwater geographic structures are consistent, and local Costa Rican fishing guides are committed to following them in GPS and memory, giving them the advantage of fishing for large hunted fish in these waters.
