It’s been a great June on the Pacific, and no signs of slowing down

This June has been an exceptionally good sportfishing month all along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. And there are no signs that it will slow down.

FAD trips have yielded great marlin results. Anglers on a three-day trip with Captain Glenn Morales on the 46ft CaribSea out of Pez Vela Marina at Quepos on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast released seven blue marlin, a striped marlin and eight sailfish.

Consider a trip to the FADs this summer for marlin

Summer is the perfect time for overnight trips to the FADs. This is how you can expect to catch the greatest number of marlin, more than on conventional full-day offshore charters. FishCostaRica offers multi-day trips to the FADs with IGFA award-winning Captain Bobby McGuinness. Bobby fishes out of Golfito on the South Pacific coast.

FishCostaRica can also arrange multi-day trips to the FADs with top offshore sportfishing captains at Los Sueños Marina. Speaking of Los Sueños, anglers on the 52ft Scatterbrain with Captain Hanzel have enjoyed a great five days so far. They have released five blue marlin and 28 sailfish, and also caught six yellowfin tuna.

Moving north to Flamingo in Guanacaste, anglers on the 42ft Bushwacker with Captain Skeet Warren released four sailfish, and brought three dorado (mahi-mahi) back for dinner, hooking some of their own. Also at Flamingo, but this time on an inshore charter, anglers with Captain Junior Bustos on the 31ft Gamefisher II caught two cubera snapper 20 and 50lbs, releasing the larger one. They also caught two needlefish, a jack, a yellowfin tuna and two dorado.

Anglers are catching pretty well everything in Costa Rica

Inshore, but back at Los Sueños, anglers on the 28ft Wing Man with Captain Carlos Arguedas released nine roosterfish, two mackerel and a few Jack Crevalle; and then went bottom fishing to get dinner, and got a few good silky snapper, a nice congrio (conger eel, scrumptious), and a few snowy grouper and golden-spot grouper. At Pez Vela Marina, anglers on the 31ft Good Day with Captain Manuel Gabuardi released seven sailfish and caught a dorado.
