Crocodile Bay Lodge
Costa Rica Sailfish, Marlin, Roosterfish

 

Costa Rica Inshore Fishing  - Fish the volcanic shoreline of the bay and coastline for Roosterfish, Jack Crevelle, Blue Fin Treuelly, Amberjack, Red & Yellow Snapper, Grouper, Barracuda, Pompano and Sierra Mackerel. Then, for the first time in Costa Rica, fish in "flats boats". You can silently maneuver through the many rivers, gliding into their mouths and the mangrove estuaries that feed the great Golfo Dulce. Fly cast, spin cast fishing or troll through the nooks and crannies of this beautiful back country for Snook (four types), Snapper, Barracuda, Corvina and a variety of sport fish! The areas within the Golfo Dulce are some of the prettiest places an angler can fish in the world. Jack Crevalle, African Pompano, Bluefin Trevally, 3 varieties of Snapper, Bonita and Barracuda can be consistently taken by our fly anglers. Our inshore fish need to be fished with very fast retrieves. Anglers should be able to double hall their casts and plan on two-handed retrieves. Most baitfish patterns and poppers work well inside the gulf, and patterns should range in size from 1/0 to 4/0 for the the inshore game. Our enormous Roosterfish population is used to eating large blue runners (our local baitfish).

The trick here again lies with the fly angler fishing large patterns very fast. Surf casting has also been one way to attack the Roosterfish. 10 weight rods are probably the best overall choice within the gulf. Our gulf is full of bait fish, and anglers must be prepared to fish the gulf in a number of various styles. Depth charge lines, intermediate sinking lines, and fast shooting taper floating fly lines are all used.

Costa Rica Sport Fishing Trips - Fly from a gateway city in the United States to San Jose, Costa Rica. You'll spend your first night in a first-class hotel in San Jose before taking a regularly scheduled commercial flight to Puerto Jimenez on the Pacific coast.

Fishing Season - Consistent annual water temperatures between 80 and 83 degrees insure that inshore fishing along the coastline and flats boat fishing the estuaries is good all year. Offshore fishing is available all year, with the months of December through May being best. 

The Fleet - Crocodile Bay Lodge will keep you fishing ‘til you drop with our selection of boats. We have 17’ flats boats, 21’ center consoles, 27’ offshore center consoles, Boston Whalers and our 33’ cruisers.
