Fishing costa rica 's south atlantic is an adventure
for everyone, kids, novice and pro anglers get to challenge their
fishing skills. The terrain features are a lot
like the north atlantic fishing grounds, minus the canal systems of
tortuguero. A very even coastline that is only broken by diverse
river mouths along the coastline. |

Limon - and Moin port - are the main entrance of
cargo and passenger ships and the infrastructure built for these purposes
provides good fishing grounds for a lot of species. Fishing
predators such as wahoo, King and Cero mackerel, grouper, snapper,
tripletail, tunas and more await sport fishing fanatics.
Westfalia and Penshurt
some 20-40 minutes down the road are small fishing
villages
known for their snook and jacks caught while surfcast fishing near the
river's mouth. |

Further down Puerto Viejo is the main
town around. Caribbean culture at it's best, these fishing town
host a variety of species like tuna, mackerels, tripletail, groupers and
snappres. Inshore fishing and surfcasting trips are common any time of
the year. Finally, Manzanillo, almost bordering with Panamá, is our last
sport fishing destination in the south atlantic.
The town is small and very quiet but its known for is good cuisine and
of course great fishing! Kayak fishing expeditions are a must in
these area, teaming with underwater life that takes shelter on masive
coral formations, not far from shore, making surfcasting fishing
possible throughout the area.
It's also worth mentioning that
the Sixaola river delta is nearby and has a renowned reputation for its
tropical fishing variety, from rainbow bass and "machaca" to tarpon,
snook and bull sharks. |
