very popular technique. Costa Rica surf fishing is doing good due to the number of species and
size of the predators available to surfcasting enthusiast willing to

Snook
fishing in Costa Rica rules when talking about surf fishing, and there are indeed many
shore
fishing zones around the country that see lots of snook action very near
the beach all year round. 15+ lb fish are not uncommon, and many of the
recent snook IGFA world records come from Costa Rica beaches, specially
river mouths in the Pacific like Tivives, Parrita, Samara and Dominical.

pompano and many others join the
mix bag.
There
are many techniques that can be used when surf fishing in Costa Rica, depending on the
species targeted and the fishing pattern that prevails at the time(weather, water
clarity, tides, lure velocity, etc...). When you book a surf fishing trip
with us we do highly recommend that you book a guide too that
will put you in the money using their fishing skills and knowledge of
the areas, but if
you like to venture on your own we'll still try to give you the best advice
for success in the fishing zone and target species you desire. |

Remember,
the surf zone and shore rocky outcroppings where surf fishing in Costa Rica
takes place are potentially hazardous places in themselves. Changing
tides, rip currents and washed out debris can hit unsuspecting
surf fisherman any time; stingrays can be found in some sand or muddy bottom sport fishing
zones, therefore: wear your life vest at all time, it can help you float and shield
your ribcage against bruises and nasty cuts and a minimum of neoprene wading shoes
are recommended, but fishing boots or shoes are best. Never face your
back to the ocean, be always in the look out for big waves and of course
sport fishing activity.
