What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: you're cruising along the lush coastline of Puerto Jimenez, the gentle lapping of waves against the boat, when suddenly your line goes tight. That's the thrill waiting for you on our inshore fishing adventure. Our seasoned local guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to put you on the fish. We're talking monster roosterfish, hard-fighting cubera snapper, and a whole cast of other inshore superstars. And the best part? This fishy playground is open for business year-round, so you can get your fix anytime the urge strikes.

Fishing Techniques & Gear

Whether you're a die-hard fly angler or prefer the versatility of spin gear, we've got you covered. Our guides are pros at both methods, so you can choose your weapon. For the fly guys, we'll be chucking big streamers and poppers to entice those surface-busting roosterfish and jacks. Spin anglers, get ready to sling some serious hardware – we're talking topwater plugs, jigs, and live bait rigs that these inshore bruisers can't resist. And here's a little local secret: these fish go nuts for cichlids, so we'll make sure to have some of those tasty morsels on hand to sweeten the deal.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just the fishing that keeps our clients hooked (pun intended). We take care of everything so you can focus on the important stuff – like landing that trophy fish. Lunch? Covered. Drinks? You bet. We even don't mind if you want to bring your own celebratory beverage for when you land that monster. And for you social butterflies out there, we can accommodate larger groups of 3-6 anglers. Just book multiple trips for the same day, and we'll combine them into one epic fishing party. It's like a floating fiesta, but with more fish slime.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon: The silver king of inshore waters. These acrobatic beasts can top 100 pounds and will test every ounce of your angling skills. Known for their spectacular aerial displays, hooking a tarpon is like trying to land a Volkswagen with fins. They're most active during the warmer months, but can be found year-round in Costa Rica's coastal waters.

Roosterfish: With their distinctive dorsal fin "comb," roosterfish are the punk rockers of the inshore scene. These powerful predators love to chase bait near the surface, making for some heart-stopping topwater action. They can grow over 50 pounds and put up a fight that'll leave your arms feeling like overcooked spaghetti. Peak season is typically March to November, but they're around all year.

Crevalle Jack: These bruisers are the bulldogs of the inshore world. What they lack in looks, they make up for in pure, unadulterated power. Jacks hunt in schools, so when you find one, you've often found many. They'll hit just about anything that moves and fight like their lives depend on it. A 30-pounder will make you question your life choices – in the best way possible.

Cubera Snapper: The heavyweight champion of the snapper family, cuberas are the stuff of angling legend. These brutes can top 60 pounds and have a nasty habit of diving for structure the moment they're hooked. Landing a big cubera is a true test of an angler's skill and equipment. They're most active during the summer months but can be caught year-round with the right tactics.

Black Grouper: These ambush predators are the strong, silent type of the inshore world. They love to hang around rocky areas and reefs, waiting to inhale anything that looks tasty. Hooking one is only half the battle – you've got to muscle them away from their hidey-holes before they can wrap you around the nearest obstacle. They're available year-round, with peak activity in the warmer months.
