Costa Rica is a long stretch of shoreline. Its beauty is incomparable; its cities are charming; and thousands flock each year to explore its many offerings.

What waits beyond the shore, however, is also worth discovering... especially with help from the Devilish Dreams.

Costa Rica--specifically the area of Los Suenos--provides more than inland adventures. Instead it offers deep-sea sport fishing. These off-shore opportunities allow every angler (from the billfish champion to the mackerel chaser) to cast their lines with ease. 

Tucked along the curve of Los Suenos is the Pacific Ocean There anglers will discover seasonal fishing, with every month yielding new breeds to track and steady currents to enjoy. Chartering a ship--like the Devilish Dreams, which emphasizes off-shore sporting--provides instant access to Marlins, Sailfish, Tuna and more. The possibilities are many. The thrills are undeniable.

The sight of a Marlin--with its straight bill and high fins, body a collection of scales and strength--rising from the waves is unforgettable. These massive fish arch out of the water, taunting anglers and casting shadows. They are easy to spy along the Costa Rican shoreline. 

They are not, however, easy to catch... unless an experienced charter crew, like the one found on the 60 Megabites, is chosen.

Each year Costa Rica--specifically the area of Los Suenos--welcomes thousands of anglers, many determined to chase Marlin. This is a lofty goal but also one that’s not often accomplished. These fish are quick in the water and ferocious on the line. They move with a brutal efficiency, ever the ocean predator. Trying to capture them proves difficult for the professional angler and almost impossible for the novice. 

A charter crew, however, can help sway the odds. These individuals--like the captain and mates of the 60 Megabites--understand not only the Pacific, but also the migrational patterns of Marlins. They are familiar with seasonal shifts and currents, as well as luring this breed with specialized bait, rods and trolling lines. Utilizing their skills offers anglers the best chance to succeed.

And that transforms a simple vacation into a Los Suenos experience.

It should be such a simple thing: tracking a fish that exceeds four hundred pounds, with a massive bill and a fin span that shames the height of many men. The Marlin is a giant in the deep. Finding it in Costa Rica should pose no problem.

The truth is far different than the assumption, however.

Instead the Marlin proves itself to be elusive, managing to hide from even experienced anglers. It is quick; it is clever; and it is forever hunting. Tracking it is a challenge. Catching it seems to border on the impossible.

There are ways, however, to increase the chance for success.

Costa Rica boasts an ample supply of Marlins. The migration patterns are strong and the population is steady. Anglers can bait this breed... as long as they follow these suggestions:

Season

Marlins are found in Costa Rica throughout the year, especially around the areas of Los Suenos and Jaco. December through April, however, is often cited as the most fruitful time. Anglers should plan their vacations accordingly.

Off Shore Sailing

Costa Rica provides many inland and bottom fishing opportunities. Marlins, however, are found off shore. Anglers must be willing to explore the Pacific, tracking this fish through deep waters. A charter service is recommended to make this an easier task.

Multiple Options

Trapping a Marlin with elastic lines is possible. Anglers should also, however, consider the possibility of trolling. This method is useful in deep currents, reaching farther than most standard lines and providing more precise fishing. It is particularly useful as a training exercise for novices.

The Marlin is among the most difficult fish to catch. Costa Rica, however, curtails that difficulty--as long as anglers remember to arrive in the proper season, sail far from shore and provide themselves with multiple casting options.

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.

Sustainability is the foundation of Costa Rican tourism, promoting (and protecting) its unique environment. Few destinations within the country better embody this idea than Tortuga Island.

Tortuga Island is tucked along the tip of the Gulf of Nicoya, framed between Curu Point and the city of Jaco. It is a small island but beauty defines every inch, offering high hills and unspoiled coastlines. Its striking scenery has branded it as one of the most visited Costa Rican properties, with every day bringing divers, hikers and nature enthusiasts. 

Tortuga’s popularity is undeniable--and this once caused concern, with many fretting over the effects of travelers and the possible destruction of a delicately balanced ecosystem. Sustainability, however, keeps this from happening.

The island, like the rest of Costa Rica, is shielded by sustainable programs: government sponsored regulations, all tailored toward conservation. Tortuga is protected by the country. It is uninhabited (save for a small group of locals who lease the land and oversee its day-to-day needs) and well-preserved. Visitors are encouraged to explore its three square miles but must abide by strict rules while doing so. This ensures that nature and tourism can co-exist.

And that enables Tortuga Island to remain a favorite for years to come.

Costa Rica is more than an angler’s playground--even as every wave seems to hide a new school of fish and every line yields a catch. 

Instead it’s the destination of divers, offering a rich underwater experience for every scuba-enthusiast. Consider Tortuga Island.

Waiting beyond the city of Jaco is Tortuga Island. Its white sands and lush slopes make it an obvious favorite of travelers, with over one hundred estimated visitors each week indulging in its natural wonders. What’s beyond the shore, however, makes it an easy choice for divers as well.

Surrounding Tortuga is the Pacific Ocean, with its collection of reefs and dynamic marine life. Clear waters frame the island, ensuring high visibility and effortless diving. The currents are steady and there are several shallow points for amateurs to enter, allowing every adventurer the chance to explore. There are no high concerns, with even passing cruise ships proving easy to avoid with their designated routes.

Costa Rica is often cited for its fishing opportunities. Tortuga Island, however, offers chances for snorkeling and scuba-diving. Charter a ship (like the Fun In Paradise) and discover what’s beneath the sea.

Anglers have one passion: to fish. The summer season sees them hurrying to the shores of Costa Rica, trying to track the endless collection of Marlins, Snooks and Jack Crevalles. Every thought is weighted with back-casting and drop-shots. There’s no need, they’re sure, for anything else.

Costa Rica offers more than fishing adventures, however. Instead... there’s Tortuga Island.

Tortuga Island is cradled along the Golfo de Nicoyo. This tiny isle--a three square mile sprawl of white sand and arching palms--seems, at first, to be an unlikely destination for fishermen. It is an isolated area, nestled hours from the marinas and typical deep-sea spots.

What it provides, however, is a way to sample the true beauty of Costa Rica, allowing anglers to pause in their quests for Sailfish and to instead enjoy the shore--which is why a Tortuga Island cruise (like the one provided by the Fun In Paradise crew) is recommended.

Navigate the Pacific and discover a land untouched. A Tortuga cruise lasts eight hours in total, bringing travelers from the heart of Jaco to a small paradise that's ripe with exotic blooms and wildlife. The island offers a wealth of activities, such as snorkeling, diving and hiking. The true reason for any fisherman to visit, however, is to experience what makes Costa Rica such a rare location: a diverse environment and peerless views.
