COSTA RICA NEWS

As many of you know, October is typically the peak of the wet season here in Costa Rica, but this past month we were spoiled with calm seas and just a few showers, with most of them occurring in the afternoons. This gave us the opportunity to comfortably fish both inshore and offshore all month long.

Greetings from the tropical paradise of Crocodile Bay in Costa Rica! September was yet another month of fantastic fishing adventures off the coast of the Osa Peninsula. We were blessed with great weather conditions and calm seas throughout the month, creating the perfect backdrop for some incredible fishing for our guests.

August had a wonderful start to the month with an abundance of roosterfish, ranging from 20 to 60 lbs. Many ask, “What is the most effective way to target roosterfish?” At Crocodile Bay, what sets us apart is our versatility in targeting these prized fish. We use a variety of techniques, from live bait to jigging and casting artificial lures. Throughout August, due to natural debris from the rains and shifting currents, we noticed that roosterfish were more inclined to go for topwater action. Witnessing them leap out of the water to strike the lure is a thrilling experience. Our guests had a blast.

The month of July at Crocodile Bay has been fantastic for our fishing guests! In both inshore and offshore waters, our anglers have experienced steady fishing action with a variety of exciting catches and releases. Inshore, our anglers had the thrill of reeling in countless roosterfish, cubera snappers, groupers, and African pompano. Meanwhile, offshore expeditions proved even more rewarding, with sailfish, marlin, and monster yellowfin tuna making their appearances.
