FISHING IN THE COSTA RICA ATLANTIC COAST

Snook and Tarpon are recognized world wide as Costa Rica specialty. The north east area around Tortuguero and Barra are where to get them.

In the past most of the tarpon action in the area was in the rivrs and backwaters but now with more seaworthy boats equipped with radios and electronics, anglers can get thru the river mouths to find tarpon for what looks like square miles of them.
Many times every cast will almost land a tarpon.

The big snooks are caught fishing from the beach around the river mouths mostly on jigs. Also trolling on jigs close to shore.

Most of the lodges now have 23 ft. center consoles and you can get outside the channels for not only tarpon but the blue water species like sails, blue marlin, wahoo, dorado, barracuda, kingfish, spanish mackeral, jack, grouper, snapper.

There is a canyon that drops from 260 ft. to about 1200 ft. about 30 minutes run from the Barra mouth . This is a dream come true for the real fishermans. On the inside you can fish light tackle for rainbow bass, mojarra, vieja, drum , gar, fat snook. There is a speices of snook that run 4 to 8 lbs that move into the rivers for 4 months every year and catches of 25 a day are not uncommon.

Dear Harold:

Just a note to thank you for informing us about the fishing boat and the accommodations in Golfito, Costa Rica. Our trip went extremely well as all reservations and accommodations were better than expected. We especially enjoyed the boat we fished on for three (3) days. The boat was called the Happy Hooker. It is probably one of the most beautiful, well equipped boats we have ever fished from. We were especially pleased with the Captain and his crew. They were all very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The fishing was great also. If you see the crew of the Happy Hooker any time soon, please give them our regards and tell them we look forward to fishing with them again in the near future.

Thanks again,

Sincerely,

Sorry so tardy in replying to your mail. Our trip on the Perfect Hooker was without fail one of the best fishing charters. Captain Yens and crew were extremely helpful, accomodating, and knowledgeable. We fish the Florida Gulf and Atlantic quite a bit and were very please with this charter. The vessel was beyond expectations and we were all very pleased with our catch. Hope to return another time to go for Marlin and/or Tuna.

Our visit to Costa Rica was fabulous! We hope to return very soon. The car rental company was very helpful and convenient, and provided no problems coming or going. Our only complaint was that we did not have enough time to do everything.

Thank you for your help and advice. We were very impressed at how easy everything was. You will be the first that I contact on our return trip.

Thank you, Thank you!!!!
