The Cubera Snapper is a powerful fish, with a heavy body and stout tail. Its mouth is wide, with sharp teeth protruding from the bottom lip. Short caudal fins flair along its sides and highlight the gray coloring. This is a reef-dwelling breed, prone to pouncing on its prey. It is slow-moving but strong. 


It’s also one of the many creatures found in Costa Rica.

The Cubera Snapper lives in the shallow waters found along Los Suenos. Many anglers (after choosing a charter service, like the Wett Ryder) seek this fish out, hoping to find a challenge.

Choosing to hunt in the wrong season and with the wrong bait, however, turns that challenge into an impossibility. Anglers must understand basic Cubera facts before trying to chase them:

Season

The Cubera Snapper is most active from May until August. 

Location

The Cubera Snapper is found in shallow, off-shore waters (such as reefs, continental shelfs and sandy drop-offs). It will hide itself among seagrass beds and debris.

Bait

The Cubera Snapper is a carnivore. It relies on Shrimp, Crabs and smaller fish to survive. Bait should be a blend of these elements to lure this creature out.

Predators

The Cubera Snapper attracts many predators. Anglers should look for heavy populations of eels, barracudas and sea-birds to gauge a location.

Use these suggestions while on a charter trip (like the one provided by the Wett Ryder) and discover success.

The Amberjack is a stout-bodied fish, with dark stripes running across its belly and a wide-forked tail. It has a soft frame, free of scutes or spiny scales, and its rich olive coloring is punctuated by rings of black around its eyes. It is a deep-sea hunter and a favorite among Costa Rican anglers. They often try to track it.


They don’t often catch, however, because they use the wrong bait.

Amberjacks are a fickle fish. Any charter crew (like the one found on the Go Fish) will swear to that. This breed’s tastes are ever-changing, targeting a wide variety of small or medium prey. An angler can’t expect to attract them, therefore, with only type of bait.

Variety is needed.

When chartering an Amberjack tour from the Go Fish, remember to choose multiple options:

Live Bait

Amberjacks are more discriminating than their deep-sea siblings. They choose their prey deliberately. A variety of live bait becomes essential, therefore, to anticipate their moods. Try Grayfish, Croakers, Squids and Spots. If one fails, hook another. 

Lures

Amberjacks are an intelligent breed. Lures must reflect this, being of high-quality designs to attract them. Choose brightly colored pieces (rubber or vinyl materials are recommended) that feature mirrors or heavy beading. Beetles, Grubs and Minnows are strongly suggested. Toss these in at different depths to ensure greater coverage.

An Amberjack is a popular Costa Rican fish. Catching it, however, requires more than the basic rods and reels. An extensive collection of bait is needed.

Costa Rica embraces all fishing forms -- from on-shore reeling to deep-sea chasing to everything in between. Its diverse shoreline accommodates every angler, and each season brings a new breed to find. 


Many of those breeds stay far from the coastline, however. Instead they remain on the shelves and inlet bottoms, hidden from plain view.


A charter service (like the Dream Catcher) can help to draw them out.

Bottom fishing is a popular Costa Rican option. Many charter services, like the Dream Catcher, provide anglers with access to a variety of creatures.
 
The most common of these are:

The Amberjack

The Amberjack is a large, dark-stripped fish. Its thin dorsal fins and forked tail propel it quickly through the water, allowing it to chase after its prey (which includes Squid, Crustaceans and more). It favors the Pacific bottom, choosing to hunt among passing debris.  

The Triggerfish

The Triggerfish is a large-headed breed, with a compressed body but strong jaw. This, when combined with its brilliant coloring, gives it a distinctive appearance. It favors bottom waters, resting often on continental shelfs or reefs.

The Grouper

The Grouper is wide-mouthed fish, with a flat body and high-set eyes. Powerful gills frame its sides. It moves slowly through the bottom waters but often hides in sand shelters or rock formations, making it difficult to catch.

These fish are among the many waiting beneath the Pacific surface. Charter a ship, like the Dream Catcher, to discover the thrills of bottom fishing.

Hiding within Costa Rica’s deep waters is the Yellow Fin Tuna. This is a popular breed to chase -- with its long frame and high dorsal fins attracting the attention of every angler, golden gill rakers marking it as unique. Each season countless travelers venture into the Pacific to catch it.


They often do... but at a cost to their safety.


Without support from a charter service, like the Miss Behavin, anglers may find themselves overwhelmed.

Yellow Fin Tuna--weighing over four hundred pounds and extending over ninety-four inches--is a large breed. It boasts a muscular frame, with a strong tail and stronger jaw. This marks it as a deep-sea predator.

It also marks it as a fish that is difficult to catch -- especially when anglers make the attempt on their own. 

Casual travelers may try to sail after the Yellow Fin Tuna, relying on basic tackle, assuming that simple lines will suffice. This is a mistake. These fish are prone to breaking lines, lures and reels. They are also powerful enough to pull inexperienced anglers from a boat, increasing the risk for injury.

It’s imperative, therefore, that individuals choose seasoned charter crews, like the one found on the Miss Behavin. These crews provide the necessary rigging, as well as stabilizing techniques, to ensure total safety. They can anticipate the Yellow Fin Tuna’s movements and then adapt to every need.

And this is necessary for a safe and successful trip.

Along the coast of Los Suenos there are many fish. None, however, manage to tempt--as well as frustrate--anglers more than Marlins. These creatures are premier ocean predators, with quick movements and spear-sharp jaws, their scales thorny-strong. They move through the deep currents, consuming everything in their path. 


They are remarkably difficult to catch... especially when anglers choose the wrong types of tackle.


barnacle ii los suenos costa rica fishing

Chasing Marlin requires more than determination. Instead anglers--after securing a charter service, like the Barnacle II--must have the right tackle. This is a large breed. Basic equipment will not suffice. Instead these options are needed:

Marlin Designated Rod

Choose a rod that is meant for Marlin fishing. These pieces will include graphite cores, balanced reels and a sturdy construction.

Long Range Reel

The Marlin is not a docile breed. It will instead fight. A long range reel is needed to adapt to this, providing as much line as necessary to allow the fish to eventually tire itself out.

Sturdy Line

Marlins fight when captured, jumping and twisting for hours. Heavy line--whether wire-based or nylon--is, therefore, essential. 

Choose the best available tackle while hunting Marlins with a charter crew, like the Barnacle II. This is the only way to ensure a worthwhile experience.
