One Week in Costa Rica with Three Days Fishing
Hi Jim,
You have many options depending on where you want to go in Costa Rica for fishing. I would probably recommend Tamarindo actually for the type of fish you are looking for. We have a three day trip actually in which you head north out of Tamarindo in route to Nicaragua fishing on the way. There is area up there that few know about that constantly holds record class Roosterfish. You actually stay at a hotel in Nicaragua for two nights while fishing in that area. The third day you return to Tamarindo, Costa Rica. This is done all from a 42′ boat making the trip very comfortable.
Los Suenos Resort/Marina is a great place also because it is a world class resort with a marina like you might see in Florida, less it has mountains. It is just under two hours from San Jose where the main airport is located, whereas Tamarindo can take up to 6 hours to drive to from there.
Los Suenos offers both great inshore and deep sea fishing. Billfishing is the most popular, but also many clients that come down for a multiple day fishing vacation will spend one day inshore for big game fish and another deep sea fishing.
January and February are very popular for fishing, so it is a good thing that you are making your plans early. You still have time, so you don’t have to make up your mind immediately.
Are you going to be staying in the Jaco Beach / Los Suenos area?
Do you need any transportation such as a small shuttle bus or are you renting a car?
Let me know if we can put together the perfect Costa Rica Fishing Vacation some options for you that will meet your budget and insure an excellent trip.
