Costa Rica is reputed to be one of the best places to go deepwater fishing and sports fishing. In fact, Costa Rica sports fishing is considered to be one of the things that any traveler in this part of the world must try at least once in their life.

With so much water to cover, and so little time, finding out where to go fishing to make sure that you come home with the prize can be rather challenging. That is because although the waters of Costa Rica are teeming with deepwater fish like marlin, sailfish and tuna, they go around and stay in certain parts of the ocean depending on the year.

If you are planning to go Costa Rica sports fishing during the summer months, the best choice will be Golfito, which is located on the southern Pacific region of Costa Rica. The waters in this region are a haven for Marlin, which are in abundance here between the months of August and December. Deepwater sports fishers can also catch Wahoo here, another favorite prize of many sports fishers that visit the country of Costa Rica. Wahoo population is at its peak between late-June and early August.

For those planning to visit the country during the spring, head out to the waters located at the northern Pacific region. One of the most popular places for sports fishers visiting the country of Costa Rica in this region is Flamingo Beach, a full-service marina that is strategically located to some of the best fishing grounds in this part of the ocean. This is where you can find an abundance of Sailfish, which travel through the waters of this region between the months of May and August. Dorado is another deepwater fish specie that you can easily catch in these waters as well.
