Peak Seasons: Fishing in Costa Rica

The fishing in Costa Rica is known for its year-round big game and is considered one of the top fishing destinations in the world. Here are some reasons why fishing in Costa Rica is so special:

	Costa Rica Marlin!
	Costa Rica Sailfish (much larger than the Atlantic sails),
	It is common to release a dozen or more sailfish in one day and not unusual to release twenty!
	During the Peak Season it's very possible to get a Grand Slam (3 of the 4 billfish species in one day).
	Costa Rica Dorado and Huge Tuna are extremely plentiful.
	During the International Sailfish Tournament in Costa Rica a few years ago, an all-time tournament record of 1,691 billfish were released by 120 anglers in 4 days.
