Our Costa Rica Fishing Report - February 2022 could best be summarized by saying, "How it starts is not always how it ends." Towards the end of January we began to see the big sailfish numbers moving into range from the southern part of the country, and as predicted the offshore fishing in...

The red-hot marlin bite from December 2021 carried right on through to the start of the new year, and may have gotten even better! The entire month anglers along the Central & Southern Pacific were treated to non-stop marlin action and plenty of dorado and tuna to take home for dinner. January...
