The Snook is an unforgettable breed. Its tapered head, lean body and striped scales make it easy to spot and fun to catch. It often serves as an introduction to fishing in Los Suenos, and first-time anglers are never disappointed when they reel one in.
Before casting any line, however, the proper bait must be chosen.
Live Bait
The Snook prefers to hunt fish smaller than itself. Choosing Shrimp, Sardines, Pilchards and similar breeds will yield the best results. Fresh bait is always preferable but frozen Mullets will also suffice.
Artificial Bait
The Snook responds to color and movement. Choose bucktail jigs, spoons and mirror plugs to catch its attention. Be certain that these all feature sturdy constructions since this fish will attack them vigorously.

The Blue Fish is among Los Suenos’ most common predators. Large schools skulk along the surface, creating feeding frenzies and disturbing the currents. These creatures are compact but fierce, with sharp teeth and strong jaws. This can make them a challenge to catch.
Choosing the wrong bait, however, can turn that challenge into an impossibility. Costa Rica Fishing Adventures recommends finding the best options available.
Live Bait
The Blue Fish has a strong hunting drive. It will attack creatures smaller than itself (even its own young) and will relentlessly chase them through rocks, reefs and shelves. Choose highly flavorful options, therefore, to keep these fish centered near the ship. Squids, Minnows and Shrimp are ideal.
Artificial Bait
The Blue Fish will blitz any bait it sees. Sturdy artificial options, like steel leaders and sea-strikers, are recommended to survive its knife-like teeth.

Few fish are as aptly named as the Yellowfin. This breed hulks along the warm waters of Los Suenos, with golden stripes running down its scales and catching the light. It’s one of the most distinctive offshore predators, and anglers often try to pull it onboard.
Having the right bait, therefore, proves crucial.
Live Bait
The Yellowfin has few dietary preferences, often eating whatever it can find. Anglers usually achieve the most success, however, with Sardines, Skipjacks and Pacific Mackerels. These fish have bolder smells and blood trails, making them more appealing.
Artificial Bait
The Yellowfin’s eyesight is exceptional. Most artificial bait, therefore, will be too easy for it to spot. Choose fluorocarbon leaders and cedar plugs to reduce line visibility and hide hooks.

There is a scavenger in Los Suenos. The Jack Crevalle, with its forked tail and lean body, moves easily through the rocks, foraging for food with sharp teeth. It’s known as one of the premier inshore predators, and anglers often try to catch it.
Without the right bait, however, they won’t succeed.
Live Bait
The Jack Crevalle will eat anything that crosses its path. Anglers wanting to lure it away from the reefs, however, should consider using bait that leaves thicker blood trails (such as Squids, Bluefish or Spanish Mackerels).
Artificial Bait
The Jack Crevalle is among the few fish that will greedily attack artificial bait. Choose top-water plugs and skirted jigs for the best results, as these will survive the Jack’s powerful jaws.

The Dorado is a Los Suenos favorite. Its spectacular coloring and impressive strength enlivens every charter trip, making it the target of first-time anglers and tournament champions alike. These fish are powerful, plentiful and easy to find.
Without the proper bait, however, they will prove difficult to catch.
Live Bait
The Dorado is a predatory breed. It will feast on most small fish, using its sharp teeth to snatch them from reefs or shelves. For best results, though, anglers should use Crabs, Squids, Sardines or Mackerels.
Artificial Bait
The Dorado will respond to artificial bait, if it proves distracting enough. Choose loud poppers and rubber-skirted plugs to draw this creature out.Â

The Spanish Mackerel, with its lean frame and slick scales, is often used as bait. Los Suenos anglers will toss this fish into the water, relying on its oily scent to attract larger prey.
Those wishing to catch the Mackerel, however, must choose a different baiting option.
Live Bait
The Spanish Mackerel is a scavenger, consuming anything in its path. This provides many baiting outlets for anglers. Best results, however, are achieved with smaller, pungent breeds (such as Shrimp, Sardines and Mullets).
Artificial Bait
The Spanish Mackerel, due to its predatory nature, responds well to artificial bait. It will attack spinners, silver spoons and drift jigs as they pass. Keep these items small, thin and brightly colored to attract the most attention.
Location
The Los Suenos Marina boasts the best bait for Spanish Mackerels. There anglers will find many shops that carry both live and artificial options.

Hidden among the rocky shores of Los Suenos is the Grouper. This teleost, with its hulking body and powerful jaw, often proves difficult to catch. Its natural caution couples with an endless patience, making it more likely to tuck itself into the dark and just wait for prey to pass.
Costa Rica Fishing Adventures recommends using the best bait to lure it out.
Live Bait
The Grouper doesn’t have a discerning palate and is content to eat most small breeds. For more immediate results, however, choose Cigar Minnows, Squids, Shrimp and Spanish Mackerels.
Artificial Bait
The Grouper is less likely to respond to artificial bait. If no other options are available, though, anglers should choose trolling feathers and skirted jigs. These will provide better deep-casting, as well as increased movement.

Visit the Los Suenos Marina to find all baiting items. Tackle shops, as well as docked charters, will provide essential information and support.

The Red Snapper is an unforgettable breed. Its powerful frame and exceptional coloring makes it a favorite of anglers, and its delicious flavor makes it a popular choice for restauranteurs.
Tracking this fish along Los Suenos’ shallow waters requires large-grade tackle, drifting techniques and the proper bait.
Live Bait
Live bait is typically recommended for Red Snappers. Options like Pilchards, Minnows and Tuna are ideal, offering strong blood trails and sharp movements.
Artificial Bait
Artificial bait is not typically suggested for fishing. Red Snappers, however, are the exceptions to this rule, responding well to droplines and poppers. Choose options that are durable and brightly colored.

Blue Marlins circle the Los Suenos shoreline, teasing anglers with their knife-fine teeth and iridescent scales. They represent the best of Costa Rica’s big game fish, and they’re sought throughout the year.
Catching these creatures, however, requires more than top-shelf tackle and proper casting motions. Instead the right bait is needed. Costa Rica Fishing Adventures now offers suggestions on what to choose and where to find it.
Live Bait
Live bait is best when fishing for Blue Marlins, offering strong scents and fresh flavours. Choose oily breeds (like Tuna, Spanish Mackerels or Ballyhoos) that will flail on the line and generate powerful blood trails.
Artificial Bait
Artificial bait is not recommended for Blue Marlins but will suffice if no other option is available. Rely on skirted jigs and poppers. These will be more likely to entice fish, boasting brighter colors and better movement.

To purchase Blue Marlin bait visit the Los Suenos Marina. A variety of tackle shops are available there to offer both live and artificial options.

Trying to lure fish to the surface is no easy task. Along the coast of Los Suenos are endless hiding places: rocks, shelves and coral reefs. All prove tempting for Striped Marlins and Mahi-Mahis, keeping them tucked away from even the most persistent lines.
Chumming is, therefore, recommended. It provides anglers with greater control, allowing them to more efficiently lead fish to their ships. Without the proper kind of bait, however, this method will fail.
Choose oily fish while chumming in Los Suenos. Slick-scaled creatures (such as Mackerels, Bluefish or Herrings) have stronger scents and flavors. They remain heady, even when exposed to the water for long hours, and will leave more pungent blood trails. This proves essential when trying to lure fish toward a charter boat.Finding oily bait is a simple task. The Los Suenos Marina boasts many shops and will provide the best available options. Rely on seasoned fishermen to choose chum that is as durable as it is enticing.
