The 2020 peak season is officially underway and we are busy fishing! As many of you know, our peak billfish season is traditionally Dec-Apr, and January is always one of the best months of the year. The billfishing last month overall was good, there were some long, slow days and some wide open days, but overall it would be a fair assessment to say that January didn’t provide us with the action packed billfishing we have grown accustomed to down here. Read our full Costa Rica Fishing Report – January 2020 below.

The first half of the month most boats were finishing with an average of 5-7 sailfish releases each day, and there were still plenty of marlin around (most of them blues). The first leg of the Los Suenos Triple Crown was hosted from Jan 15-18, and 38 boats released a total of 593 billfish (523 sails & 70 marlin). The third week of the month had a bit of a lull to it with many boats finishing with just 2-4 sails, and several came back with none. The bite got back to respectability the final week of the month with more reports of 5-8 bites per day out of the Los Suenos & Quepos marinas.
