Fishing in Los Suenos offers anglers the chance to seek out a variety of sporting breeds. Some of these breeds boast strength. Others instead offer speed. Costa Rica’s Wahoo, however, embodies both traits, making it a challenge for even the most experienced fishermen.

Wahoo fishing in Costa Rica is an undeniable thrill. This creature is long-bodied, with a large mouth and dagger-like teeth. Its blue scales are contrasted with iridescent stripes, and its tail is forked. The Wahoo’s lean frame allows it to move quickly through the water, achieving speeds matched by few. This pairs with powerful mandibles for a fish that is hard to catch and harder to keep. Lines will break and rods will bend. 

A Los Suenos charter, like the Dream Maker, becomes vital, therefore. These Costa Rica ships specialize in offshore hunting, allowing them to better identify and target the Wahoo. They offer top-shelf tackle and gear, as well as much needed support. They can seek out this solitary fish and give anglers what they need to reel it in, compensating for frantic movements and sharp teeth. 

Choosing a Los Suenos charter ensures that travelers remain in control, rather than leaving them to face snapped lines and snatched bait. The Wahoo is a wily breed. Help is needed to catch it.

There is a universal fishing fear: sea-sickness. Anglers across the globe fret over rolling waves and rocking ships. Countless trips have been ruined by sudden illness -- rods and reels abandoned as the queasy, uneasy feelings begin. 

Los Suenos offers an alternative, however: calm waters.

Costa Rica is a country unlike any other, with a dynamic bio-scape and sustainable practices. It also, however, boasts stable sailing.

After leaving Los Suenos on a charter ship (like the Sweet Dreams) travelers will find themselves greeted by safe, steady waters. The Central Pacific coast, with its mountains and rain-forests, blocks most of the wind. The consistent regional temperatures eliminate sudden storms, and the migration paths of many fish are centered close to the harbor. This keeps anglers from venturing into deep water, where the waves tend to rise and fall more dramatically.

These elements all combine for effortless sailing, allowing fishemen to enjoy their Sweet Dreams' charters instead of worrying about illness. Sea-sickness is extremely rare in Los Suenos -- and that is an undeniable relief.

Slow and steady wins the race in Los Suenos. 

Costa Rica boasts the most diverse--and dynamic--sport fishing in the world. Along the Central Pacific region there are endless possibilities, with Marlins, Wahoos, Spanish Mackerels and more playing in the deep currents. 

Chasing after those breeds with a too quick ship, however, proves disastrous.

Fish are skittish creatures. They flee at the first signs of trouble, hiding themselves in inlets and seagrass coves. A fast-moving ship, therefore, is a poor choice for any angler: disturbing everything above and below the Pacific. 

Slow cruising is needed. Charter services, like the Sail Fish, should maintain stable speeds (22 to 25 knots) throughout the day. This helps to limit the possibilities of frightened Crevalles, Dorados and more. It reduces engine vibrations and eliminates sudden bursts of power. Noise is decreased; disturbances are fewer; and the result is success.

When choosing a charter ship, like the Sail Fish, determine the average cruising speed. Be certain that it falls within the suggested range and be willing to ask crews to slow down if necessary.

Costa Rica is a fishing haven. Along its sprawling shores countless breeds (like Dorado, Blue Marlins and Groupers) hide, tempting anglers with their bold colors and undeniable strength. 

Even experienced travelers, however, may find themselves unable to locate these creatures. The Pacific waters are too deep and the endless inlets, coves and shelves disguise even the brightest fish. Tracking them can be a challenge.

Using Side Scan Sonar techniques--like the ones offered on the Gunsmoke--can make it a far simpler process, though.

Side Scan Sonar, simply explained, is a way to better locate fish in Costa Rica. It is a transducer machine, towed behind a charter ship (like the Gunsmoke). As the ship moves through the water, the Side Scan releases acoustic signals up to 160 feet. These signals bounce off of objects, like fish, and then reflect back to the machine. When this occurs, an image appears and reveals what is below the surface.

This is an effective way to hunt for fish. With Side Scan Sonar, anglers can quickly discover which breeds are nearby. This allows them to adjust their lines, baits, reels and more -- without fearing mistakes or wasted time. It also helps to pinpoint the migration patterns of specific creatures and lessens navigational problems. 

And that is an advantage for every day and every fisherman.

Fishing in Los Suenos is often considered a gentle sport. The Pacific waves are steady, and even large Billfish (like Blue Marlins, Black Marlins and more) can be easily combatted with sturdy lines and reels. This is not thought to be a dangerous activity. Instead it is relaxing.

Choosing a charter ship--like the Sails Call--that provides access to safety equipment, however, is still necessary.

A Los Suenos excursion is without peer. The scenery is striking; the fish are bountiful; and charter crews, like the Sails Call, offer experienced sailing. 

Not every crew offers up-to-date safety equipment, however. It’s important that anglers remember this, verifying the presence of life-rafts, fire extinguishers, life-jackets, first aid kits, distress beacons and more. Don’t assume that these items will be provided. Instead ask -- making note of what options are available and whether they will support all travelers on-board. 

Take advantage of tutorials as well. Some charters, like the Sails Call, provide basic overviews of equipment, allowing anglers to become familiar with items in case an emergency should occur. This is an important part of any Los Suenos fishing trip. It should not be overlooked.
