Quepos, Costa Rica a fishing mecca

[Tripatini]

Calm seas and abundant marine life in the spectacular Pacific Ocean at Quepos and Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica create an ideal environment for fun activities.

For instance, now through the end of December is humpback whale-watching season in Costa Rica; and you can nearly always see large pods of dolphins while out sailing, boating or kayaking.

Quepos also is a top place for world-class sportfishing in Costa Rica. The World Offshore Fishing Championship 2014 in April brought in hundreds of international sportfishing fans to Quepos to compete.

The water temperature here provides the perfect environment for fish species like Pacific sailfish and swordfish, Dorado (Mahi Mahi), Yellowfin Tuna, giant Snook, Wahoo, Amberjack, Mackerel, Snapper, Roosterfish, and blue, black and striped Marlin. Fishing enthusiasts have luck just about any month of the year to fish both “catch-and-release” and fish for dinner.
