Catching a White Marlin in Los Suenos is often more a matter of luck than skill. These creatures are rare and few anglers have ever been able to reel one in.
Costa Rica Fishing Adventures, however, believes in being prepared for anything. We offer these baiting suggestions for those who want to seek the White Marlin, even if the chances of catching one sometimes border on the impossible.
Live Bait
The White Marlin is noted for fickleness. Certain baits simply do not appeal and many anglers have wasted their dollars on expensive Squids, Crabs and Spanish Mackerels. It’s best to rely on simple flavors, like Ballyhoos or Skipjacks. These have the right coloring and movement to appeal.
Artificial Bait
The White Marlin prefers live bait. It will, however, attack artificial options if they prove distracting enough. Choose surface poppers and dredgers for the best results.

Los Suenos plays hosts to countless marine creatures, but few are as unusual as the Roosterfish. This breed is silver-scaled and large, with a spiny-plume rising along its back and cutting through the water. It’s an inshore predator that’s as tasty to eat as it is challenging to catch.
Costa Rica Fishing Adventures recommends choosing the right bait, therefore, while hunting it.
Live Bait
The Roosterfish will feast on most small creatures, showing few preferences toward flavor or blood trails. For the best results, however, choose options like Skipjacks and Lady Fish. These tend to move well on the lines and will attract attention.
Artificial Bait
The Roosterfish doesn’t respond strongly to artificial bait. Those forced to use it, though, should choose surface poppers and feathered circle hooks. These will draw the breed out and keep it interested.

The Horse Eye Trevally is an unmistakable breed. Its compressed body, exposed teeth and namesake eyes - which are large and rounded, with transparent lids creating a milky coloring - mark it as unique. It’s often sought by inshore anglers and is noted as one of Los Suenos’ more popular catch-and-release options.
Before setting sail to find it, however, fishermen should find the perfect bait.
Live Bait
The Horse Eye Trevally is a cautious breed. It approaches its prey slowly, attacking only when it feels safe and often fleeing at the first sign of trouble. Choose small baiting options, such as Shrimps or Sardines, to draw it out and keep it from panicking.
Artificial Bait
The Horse Eye Trevally will respond to artificial bait, as long as it seems innocuous. Choose bibbed lures and soft-skirted jigs to catch this fish’s attention. Be wary of items that move too quickly or make too much noise.

Anglers craving deep-sea battles often seek out Striped Marlins. These massive fish boast superior strength and indomitable wills, and reeling them always proves exciting. They will fight against the line every time.
Luring them to the boat, however, should not be a challenge. It should instead be easy and this is achieved with the right bait.
Live Bait
The Striped Marlin is a premier predator, willing to hunt anything that crosses its path. Choose highly flavorful options, like Mackerels and Squids, to catch its attention and draw it close to the boat.
Artificial Bait
The Striped Marlin responds best to fresh bait. Anglers using rubber-skirted lures and trolling lures, however, can catch one. Be sure that these options are brightly colored, with possible mirror or feather embellishments to increase interest.

Inshore anglers are well-acquainted with Permits. These slim-boned fish hide along the shelves, using their forked tails to burrow beneath the sand and salt. They’re difficult to catch, retreating often at the first signs of danger and refusing to come to the surface.
Having the right bait, therefore, is essential. Costa Rica Fishing Adventures recommends these options.
Live Bait
Permits are cautious. They will only attack fish smaller than themselves and they’ll wait for the perfect moment to pounce. Choose oily options, like Shrimps and Crabs, to draw them out and keep them interested.
Artificial Bait
Permits don’t respond well to artificial bait. Those using barrel swivels and slip sinkers can catch these fish, though, if the items are boldly colored and have sharp movements. Light spinning tackle is recommended.

The Black Marlin is a prize for any angler. Its speed, strength and aggression make it a challenge to catch, and trying to reel one in can demand countless hours and endless patience.
It also requires the right bait. Costa Rica Fishing Adventures suggests using these options.
Live Bait
The Black Marlin, like most breeds, responds best to live bait. Its powerful bite, however, can turn solid foods into chum, scattering them across the sea. Use sturdy breeds like Squids or Skipjacks. These will last longer and will keep Marlins centered near the ship.
Artificial Bait
The Black Marlin prefers fresh fish. Artificial options will suffice, however, when necessary and can be used to great effect while trolling. Choose large-skirted lures and hybrid skooners for best results, and be certain that these are attached to durable monofilaments.

The Snook is an unforgettable breed. Its tapered head, lean body and striped scales make it easy to spot and fun to catch. It often serves as an introduction to fishing in Los Suenos, and first-time anglers are never disappointed when they reel one in.
Before casting any line, however, the proper bait must be chosen.
Live Bait
The Snook prefers to hunt fish smaller than itself. Choosing Shrimp, Sardines, Pilchards and similar breeds will yield the best results. Fresh bait is always preferable but frozen Mullets will also suffice.
Artificial Bait
The Snook responds to color and movement. Choose bucktail jigs, spoons and mirror plugs to catch its attention. Be certain that these all feature sturdy constructions since this fish will attack them vigorously.

The Blue Fish is among Los Suenos’ most common predators. Large schools skulk along the surface, creating feeding frenzies and disturbing the currents. These creatures are compact but fierce, with sharp teeth and strong jaws. This can make them a challenge to catch.
Choosing the wrong bait, however, can turn that challenge into an impossibility. Costa Rica Fishing Adventures recommends finding the best options available.
Live Bait
The Blue Fish has a strong hunting drive. It will attack creatures smaller than itself (even its own young) and will relentlessly chase them through rocks, reefs and shelves. Choose highly flavorful options, therefore, to keep these fish centered near the ship. Squids, Minnows and Shrimp are ideal.
Artificial Bait
The Blue Fish will blitz any bait it sees. Sturdy artificial options, like steel leaders and sea-strikers, are recommended to survive its knife-like teeth.

Few fish are as aptly named as the Yellowfin. This breed hulks along the warm waters of Los Suenos, with golden stripes running down its scales and catching the light. It’s one of the most distinctive offshore predators, and anglers often try to pull it onboard.
Having the right bait, therefore, proves crucial.
Live Bait
The Yellowfin has few dietary preferences, often eating whatever it can find. Anglers usually achieve the most success, however, with Sardines, Skipjacks and Pacific Mackerels. These fish have bolder smells and blood trails, making them more appealing.
Artificial Bait
The Yellowfin’s eyesight is exceptional. Most artificial bait, therefore, will be too easy for it to spot. Choose fluorocarbon leaders and cedar plugs to reduce line visibility and hide hooks.

There is a scavenger in Los Suenos. The Jack Crevalle, with its forked tail and lean body, moves easily through the rocks, foraging for food with sharp teeth. It’s known as one of the premier inshore predators, and anglers often try to catch it.
Without the right bait, however, they won’t succeed.
Live Bait
The Jack Crevalle will eat anything that crosses its path. Anglers wanting to lure it away from the reefs, however, should consider using bait that leaves thicker blood trails (such as Squids, Bluefish or Spanish Mackerels).
Artificial Bait
The Jack Crevalle is among the few fish that will greedily attack artificial bait. Choose top-water plugs and skirted jigs for the best results, as these will survive the Jack’s powerful jaws.
