Fantastic Fishing!
It is the dance of the sailfish and the lightning
speed of the marlin that that attract most anglers
to the Osa Peninsula. It is not uncommon to raise
more than 20 billfish in a days fishing. Most dorado
coming to the dock have been over 30 lbs with Tuna
always plentiful. You can likely catch a billfish
any day of the year,with January through April the
top months for marlin and sailfish sportfishing
along this region of the southern coast. there is
also a good showing of marlin in August and November,
while months during and just after the rains produce
more dorado, as the debris washed out of the rivers
forms the inshore trash lines they feed under. Football-size
tuna are almost always present and sometimes those
that top out at 300 pounds.
Anglers trolling in the bluewater are often treated
to pleasant surprises. Humpback and pilot whales
blow geysers high in the air. Sea turtles sun on
the surface. Manta rays free-jump and belly-flop
with a loud slap on the water. The most awesome
sight, though, is the sighed sight of a pod of killer
whales migrating s along the coast.
Inshore fishing is consistent all year. Roosterfish
and cubera snapper are the main attraction, but
the waters along the beaches and the Golfo Dulce
add to the menu. Snook roam the beaches as well
as the rivers. A dozen other types of snapper,grouper,amberjack,bluefin
trevally, sharks and barracuda cruise the reefs.
Giant schools of bonito bust bait in the gulf, great
game for a fly rodder. What makes the fishing unique
in this area is the Golfo Dulce itself. On the mainland
side of the gulf, the mountains seem to melt into
the emerald water. The volcanic structure continues
underwater creating habitat and feeding grounds
for the finned residents.
The incredible diversity and productivity of the
Osa results from the meeting of two hemispheres
and two continents. A mix of currents, ocean waters
and nutrient rich river waters from the highest
drainage in Central America, the forested Talamanca
mountains, give birth to countless fish and marine
life.
