Catch and release fishing defines the Los Suenos experience. Anglers arriving to this Central Pacific harbor quickly find themselves introduced to government policies, all intended to protect local breeds and promote sustainable tourism. Popular fish - such as Striped Marlins or Blue Marlins - are to be set free, rather than stuffed and mounted.

This eco-friendly philosophy is necessary, helping to secure Los Suenos' ample marine life. It eliminates over-fishing and maintains environmental standards. It doesn't, however, extend to every creature. There are instead many edible options left.

While fishing in Los Suenos anglers can catch and keep specific breeds. These include:


These fish, due to their abundant populations, are not subject to release laws. They can instead serve as trophies or even meals for anglers. Look for charter ships that specialize in these breeds, and see if crews will offer to filet any catches on board.
