Tuna Fishing in Costa Rica

​We are currently witnessing one of the longest Yellow Fin Tuna bites that Costa Rica has seen in recent years.   Legislation changes in the past few years pushed the boundaries for Commercial Tuna Fisherman way further out than was previously allowed and we are really seeing the benefit of this with excellent numbers of Yellow Fin Tuna having been caught every single month since May 2016.   
 
May is traditionally the start of the peak Tuna season once our water temperatures cool a little and Charter captains up and down the Pacific Coast are bracing themselves for what could be an excellent Tuna fishing season to look forward to from May onwards.   
​
Yellow Fins to 300lb have been caught and we have witnessed lots of Fish in the 100-150lb range. 
​May to November is known as the Green season in Costa Rica when the Trees and Plants really spring to life with the regular afternoon showers.  Temperatures are a littler cooler, there are some excellent deals on Hotel rooms and there are less Tourists about. For many people it is their favourite time to visit for these reasons.  
 
In addition to the awesome Tuna action, Anglers can expect encounters with Blue Marlin,  Sailfish and the odd Wahoo Offshore aswell as Roosterfish, Snook, Snappers and more inshore.
