The month of May continues the transition from the dry season to the green season at Crocodile Bay, and it delivered excellent fishing opportunities both inshore and offshore. Inshore fishing kicked off the month with impressive catches of roosterfish, some weighing in at 45 to 70 lbs.

Our commitment to excellence is evident in our exclusive use of Penn International fishing gear, which enhances every angler’s adventure while fishing at the resort.

Roosterfish are a very popular target for guests at Crocodile Bay, Costa Rica.

The month of April continued to offer great fishing results due to Costa Rica’s long-time conservation battle against commercial tuna fishing boats in our waters. The tuna fishing for our guests was on fire this month. It’s very satisfying to bump into huge schools of spinner dolphin that are running with tons of yellow fin tuna between 7 and 15 miles offshore. It keeps our client’s rods bent and smiles on everybody’s faces!

It brings me great pleasure to share with you the latest fishing report from Crocodile Bay in Costa Rica. The fishing action here on the Osa Peninsula is still sizzling hot, and according to some of our experienced captains, the fishery in the peninsula is currently thriving like never before. The new commercial tuna fishing reforms, combined with strict measures to crack down on illegal fishing, has resulted in a healthier and more abundant fishery for the area, both inshore and offshore.

We’ve had a great month here at Crocodile Bay and Botánika… with a full-house of wonderful guests! We had many returning clients come back to experience the new resort as well as lots of new friends and families staying with us for the 1st time. The fishing has been consistently good and our eco-tours and adventures have been getting amazing results and reviews with lots of animal sightings and jungle adventures. Here are some pix and video from Crocodile Bay and Botánika this past month…. Starting with two photos of our guest, Richard V. in the Osa Peninsula rainforest taken with the same tree 19 years apart.

Last month Crocodile Bay and Botánika had the honor of hosting the President of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chaves Robles, to discuss the importance of sustainable tourism and conservation efforts in the region.
