Target: Roosterfish

At a Glance

This package is for anglers on a mission with one single target: roosterfish. This inshore trophy is on the bucket list of many anglers due to their hard fights, unique dorsal fin, and beautiful markings. The tried and true technique or landing monster roosters is trolling with live bait, but they can also be caught with poppers and stick baits. Depending on what time of year you visit we will send you to Manuel Antonio or Tamarindo where you fill fish with a dedicated inshore guide to fish for roosterfish all week long.

Destinations: Manuel Antonio or Tamarindo
Duration: 5-8 days

Package Details

  1. Day One

    Fly into Costa Rica where we will meet you and take you to your waiting private van. Depending on the time of year you visit, we’ll take you to Manuel Antonio in the Central Pacific or Tamarindo in the Northern Pacific. You’ll stay in your choice of 4 or 5 star boutique hotels where you’ll enjoy great service, amazing views, and amenities like pools, air conditioned rooms, spas, and restaurants. We will work with you to hand pick the best fit for your group.

  2. Day Two

    Let’s go fishing! Your full day of inshore fishing starts early as your guide loves to be the first one on the water. Your expert guide, who has been fishing these waters for nearly 15 years, is highly regarded as the best in-shore guide in the country. He’ll have the live well full of rainbow runners and lookdowns as you’ll troll the coastline in search of the might roosterfish.

  3. Day Three

    Let’s go fishing! If you didn’t catch enough roosterfish on your first day then here is your encore. Troll the rocky islands and reefs, habitat that roosterfish are known to prefer.

  4. Day Four

    Free day! Use this day to rest your tired arms and explore some of Costa Rica’s inland treasures like the Manuel Antonio National Park. Rated one of the world’s top 12 national parks by Forbes, this is also the most visited national park in the country. See incredible wildlife and enjoy three beautiful beaches inside.

  5. Day Five

    Let’s go fishing! Today is your last day to try and land your trophy roosterfish. If you have already caught enough you can try to target a wide variety of other species like snapper, grouper, sea bass, mackerel, jacks or you can even get into the river mouths to fish for large snook.

  6. Day Six

    Last day in Costa Rica! Use this day to relax and unwind before heading home or let us set up an adventure tour for you. Your options include ATVs, snorkeling, horseback riding, and the famous canopy zip-line tour.

  7. Day Seven
