A large fish demands a large rod.
Heavy tackle is recommended, therefore, for those in Los Suenos. Deep sea expeditions - specifically those centered around Blue Marlins, Black Marlins or Sailfish - require strong lures and long lines.
A heavy rod offers both.Heavy rods are noted for their fiberglass compositions and sturdy shapes. This allows them to endure the pull of both the Pacific and Costa Rica's stouter breeds. Their extended lures and fast actions provide easy reel-ins, and their flexible tips help to reduce tension during lengthy battles. They are less likely to break under the weight of Billfish and provide greater balance. This makes them ideal for sport fishing.
It should be noted that these rods are aptly named. They are heavy. Inexperienced anglers may have some difficulty mastering them and should rely on charter crews for help.

There is no such thing as a perfect fishing rod. Medium tackle options, however, come close.
Those in Los Suenos will find these rods be superiorly balanced and exceptionally crafted. They're easy to use and easier to master, making them ideal for even the most inexperienced anglers.
A medium fishing rod is a worthwhile addition to any tackle pack. It features a lightweight shape, with composite materials that move well in any current. Its fast action allows it to reel in both small and large breeds, and its longer lines ensures greater casting depths. It can be used for Groupers, Red Snappers, Spanish Mackerels and other common Los Suenos fish.Many charter tours will provide anglers with medium rods. The Los Suenos Marina will also offer rental options for extra convenience.

Just off the coast of Costa Rica you have been cruising the open water on your charter boat marveling at the coastal scenery and the chase is on for the elite Marlin.
A good captain knows how to handle the boat to keep you battling the Marlin as you fight to reel it in. Remember that the average size of a Blue Marlin is 400 pounds, but an elusive female record breaking fish can reach up to 1,985 pounds!
For many anglers catch and release is the main option unless they catch a record breaking fish. Once the big fish has been exhausted and the angler is able to bring it alongside the boat a release gaff is used to pull the hook out. When releasing the Marlin is the goal, often it will not be pulled onto the boat to avoid the potential for it to thrash around and hurt its self.
Once the Marlin has been released it is free to roam the ocean and may one day come back as a record breaking contender! Â

Along the coast of Los Suenos swims a flat-faced fish. Its compact body--scaled in brilliant blue and green--moves quickly through the Pacific, snagging Mackerels and Squids with sharp teeth. It boasts many names: Mahi-Mahi, Dolphin Fish, Lampuga.
In Costa Rica, however, it’s known as the Dorado... and many charter services, like the Tres Amigos, chase after it each year.
The Dorado is one of Costa Rica’s most abundant breeds. It thrives in the warm Pacific waters, foraging along the surface for its favorite prey. Spotting this breed is easy.Â
Catching it, however, can prove difficult--unless anglers remember these suggestions:
Look For Hiding Places
The Dorado is a deep-sea breed. It hunts, however, along the crests and breaks, attracted both by its prey and passing debris. This is a fish that likes to hide. Pieces of driftwood, tangled strips of sea-weed and even clusters of larger animals (like dolphins) will always draw the Dorado.
Use The Chumming Method
The Dorado is a greedy creature. It will devour everything in its path. Chumming is the easiest way to tempt it to a charter boat, like the Tres Amigos. The sudden arrival of bait will lure this fish to every line.
Rely On Heavy Lures
The Dorado features a compressed body. This leads many to assume that the fish is easy to catch. The truth, however, is that this breed is muscular, often exceeding twenty five pounds. That allows it to break light lines or lures. Heavy tackle must be used to ensure a successful trip.

A fishing vacation is often a family vacation. Parents want to sail the Pacific... and they want their children to join them.Â
Accommodating large groups, however, can prove difficult. Young anglers more quickly give in to exhaustion, distraction and more. Trying to bait a Marlin seems impossible when boys and girls want to simply sleep.
A charter service, like the Arriba Dreams, is essential, therefore.Â
Charter services provide more than seasoned crews and navigational support. Instead they offer family-ready fishing. Ships, like the Arriba Dreams, provide multiple ways for children to be entertained throughout the day.
Cabin Access
Many ships boast below-deck cabins. These spacious rooms allow children to retreat from the Costa Rica sun, taking advantage of bedding options and galley kitchens. This is especially useful for full day excursions.Â
On-board Diversions
A still line is a dull line... at least for children. Many charter services offer on-board distractions to compensate. Stereo systems, iPod hook-ups, televisions, DVD players and more provide easy entertainment.Â
Small Fish SpecialityÂ
Little hands can’t reel in big fishes. Marlins, Dorados and more will instead quickly pull away from children, undoing what should be a perfect moment. This is why many deep-sea charter services offer small fish specialties, with an excess of tackling options to track kid-friendly breeds.

The Yellow Fin Tuna is a favorite along the Costa Rica shore. Its fusiform frame--with tapering fins emphasizing the muscular curve of its body--is often chased by anglers. Its size and speed brand it a challenge.
Occasionally, however, that challenge can be too great. Many anglers can’t find this fish. They spend hours circling the shores of Los Suenos and other Costa Rican marinas, lines ignored and reels unused.Â
This is a common scenario... but it’s also one that can be avoided if certain suggestions are followed.
Before hunting Yellow Fin Tuna anglers should:
Consult A Charter Service
The Yellow Fin Tuna is a difficult fish to catch, even for the professional angler. Choosing a charter service (like the Macushla) is important, therefore. These services specialize in this particular breed, boasting a wealth of knowledge and techniques. They drastically increase the chances for success.Â
Set Sail For Deep Waters
The Yellow Fin Tuna doesn’t cling to the shore. Instead it strays far from Los Suenos. A deep sea adventure is, therefore, needed. Light tackle or shelf fishing simply won’t work.
Look For Surface Disturbances
The Yellow Fin Tuna, despite its love of deep-water, feasts along the surface. It will track its favorite prey (Balao, Mackerel, Pilchards and more) to shallow currents. Look for disturbances: excessive splashing, an increase of sea-bird hovering and even blood. This fish is a messy eater. There is usually evidence of its meals.
