Sport Fishing and Seasons
The province of Guanacaste is a predominantly dry tropical region in Costa Rica that presents diverse climates from very dry to humid, with two seasons in the year: Winter season and Summer season.
Winter season, with optimal conditions for Deep Sea and Inshore Fishing, that extends from May to late December, in these months the conditions can be rainy some days and also, sunny, but typical good conditions; for the fishing in general.
The Fishing activity can be affected by the windy season depending on the type of fishing that you want to do on the day. Is important to know that Windy season in Guanacaste is not the all months, but some days will be with windy conditions and others don’t. But trying for Deep sea worth while to catch a good size fish in the Gulf Papagayo.
On the other hand, we have the Inshore Fishing for Roosterfish that goes throughout the year, which by the way, the Roosterfish is territorial and keep large groups for their own protection.
Average size of Roosterfish is 40 to 60 pounds and are caught with live bait mostly on all the shores of the Gulf of Papagayo.
