In the Caribbean the Florida Keys, Cancun, Belize, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Aruba and the Virgin Islands all herald grand deep sea fishing excursions. Costa Rica is by far the most popular fishing destination in Central America. On the west coast the main attraction is the bill fishing that is excellent all year with the exception of October and November.
From December through April the sail fishing is best in the southern half including Quepos, adjacent to the Manuel Antonio National Park, Drakes Bay and Golfito. During this time of the year the northern part of the country, experiences strong northerly winds, which often doesn't allow offshore fishing, a problem that doesn't exist in the south. Boats from all over the country flock to the Quepos area to take advantage of the exceptional sail fishing that takes place there yearly.
From bill fishing for the magnificent blue marlin, tuna, & bull dolphin (mahi-mahi), permit, wahoo, tuna, and dorado as well as inshore species such as roosterfish, snapper, nice king mackerel, grouper, jacks and amberjack available.
