Quepos Fishing Report, Costa Rica

February was a fantastic month here in Quepos Costa Rica with our high season in full swing and lots of visiting Anglers from all over the world chasing down their bucket list species.


We have had some great species variety with Black, Blue & Striped Marlin all released regularly this month out of Quepos, Sailfish were plentiful as were Dorado and Tuna. Inshore there was good action from Roosterfish, Snook, Corvina, Snappers, Mackerel, Jacks and more.

We are in the midst of our Billfish tournament season and the Quepos Billfish Cup was held 1-4 February where there was some great action with Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin & Sailfish. I was fortunate enough to fish the tournament aboard SANTE a stunning 60 foot Hatteras and we placed 6th catching 17 Sails & a Striped Marlin, great fun! Contact me if Fishing a world class Billfish tournament is on your bucket list!


Back to our charters! We did 26 trips aboard GOOD DAY during February and a brief summary of our month as follows:
