Costa Rica is often assumed to be the center of sport fishing.


Fishing, however, isn’t just a sport--despite how many anglers play it, despite all of the time spent trying to win.

Instead it’s the driving force of Costa Rica’s social and economical development, generating an estimated 600 million dollars a year through tourism, professional charter services, tackle sales and more. 

And it’s because of this that the country has imposed a catch and release policy for all anglers.

Catch and release fishing, as the name implies, is when an individual manages to secure a fish but then returns it to the wild. Costa Rica utilizes this practice as part of its devotion to sustainability, ensuring that its vast collection of Marlins, Snappers and more remains steady. 

It’s estimated that almost 120,000 anglers visit Costa Rica each year, especially the areas of Jaco and Los Suenos. They hurry to the shores, exploring the currents, coves and inlets. If these individuals were allowed to fish without restrictions the effect would be immediate... and devastating. Breed populations would decline; tourism would then slow, especially since 40% of all anglers confess to choosing this Pacific area exclusively for its fishing opportunities; and the economy would falter. 

Catch and release fishing is the only way to sustain both the environment and the country. It maintains the market, while also promoting travel.

Anglers must remind themselves of this, indulging in the chase but not the hunt.

Simple is sometimes best.


This is a common phrase, but too often is it ignored--especially within the world of angling. Fishermen develop countless strategies, infusing every thought with lures, reels and live bait. Their sport of choice demands much time and even more energy.... especially when the prize is a Marlin. 


Such a prize isn’t often won through difficult tactics, however. Instead Costa Rican charter services recognize a more straightforward approach.


They follow the birds.

Marlins are predators. These fearsome fish--which can exceed 14 feet and 400 pounds--dominate the Pacific Ocean, especially along the Costa Rican shore. They are forever chasing warm currents, migrating with the many schools of fish found off of Los Suenos. Mackerel, Tuna and even squids prove tempting for this breed, and they use their spears to capture them.

Due to the ocean’s ever-moving surface, it’s a challenge to find Marlin. Looking to the sky, however, yields far greater rewards.

The many birds of Costa Rica will target the same schools that Marlin do. They’ll track them down, diving into the waves to feast. Sailing toward a flock of gulls or terns, therefore, is often the best form of fishing (especially when combined with trolling or trawling techniques). They act as a beacon and, when followed, they offer a promise of success.

Complicated plans and equipment aren’t needed. Costa Rican charter services instead understand the relationship between Marlins and birds.

And this makes every trip far more exciting.

Throughout the world Costa Rica is famed for its fishing opportunities. Anglers flock each year to explore what waits beyond the shores.


Those same anglers, however, may not be aware of the reason for such ample fishing.

Costa Rica is a tiny country, encompassing only 0.3% of the world’s total mass. That number, however, is quickly undone by the sheer biodiversity found within this land--a staggering 5% of the global environment. This is both unexpected and undeniable.

Within the borders of Costa Rica is a collection of rain-forests, mountain peaks, golden beaches and lagoons. It’s framed by the waters of both the Pacific and the Caribbean, and its high temperatures inspire constant growth and change. It’s an ever-expanding series of landscapes and seascapes.

There is no place on Earth that boasts the same environmental profile. The country is instead thoroughly unique.

And this is what generates such a high number of fish and sea-life.

Costa Rica, despite its small size, is the most dynamic environmental force in the world. Fishing becomes an easy task, due to the blend of fresh and salt water (found in inlets, lakes, wetlands and more). Each area is teeming with life, with crosscurrents leading new species to the shores every year. 

Biodiversity leads to perfect angling and endless adventures: from Guancaste to Los Suenos.
