Costa Rica
Inshore Fishing
Welcome to one of the World's Most Diverse Inshore Fisheries
Located directly on Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf), we offer anglers direct access to some of the worlds best inshore fishing. At 15 miles wide and 30 miles long with depths of almost 600ft in some parts, the Golfo Dulce offers the ultimate sanctuary for inshore trophy species. The basalt structure offers the perfect home for Cubera snapper, roosterfish, bluefin trevaley, African pompano as well as almost a dozen other varieties of snapper. It is possible to do both inshore and offshore fishing in a single day and you’ll have a chance to do battle with multiple exotic species. Most anglers visiting us are in search of roosterfish and Cubera snapper as this is one of the few fisheries in the world where you can hook up with both on any given day. Roosterfish are release only fish in Costa Rica and we also recommend releasing large resident Cuberas. Many of our professional captains have fished these inshore waters for at least a decade and can give you the best possible chance to land the inshore species you’ve been dreaming about.
King of the Caves
Cubera SNapper
The undisputed king of the caves, the Cubera snapper is a legendary fighting fish and can be found here in Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce. This is one of the few places on Earth where Cuberas will come out of their holes to hit a popper. Get ready for a fight, Cubera snappers do not easily surrender.
Inshore Fishing
The Roosterfish
The Cubera may be the king of the caves, but the roosterfish is the inshore king of them all. With his magnificent seven spine dorsal fin this unique fish is like a Jack on steroids, jumping and diving and taking more line then their body weight should allow. Roosterfish will make several runs away from the boat before finally giving in. These are release only fish in Costa Rica. They love live bait but can be caught using a variety of techniques including poppers.
