Fishing in Drake Bay
Fishing in Drake Bay has to be seen to be experienced to be believed. Drake Bay is one of the most productive and under fished areas in Costa Rica. Bluewater and inshore sport fishing is available here. Professional fishermen from around the world frequently choose to take their vacation and fish with us. Don’t tell anyone though, it’s a secret!
With offshore fishing for sailfish, tuna, marlin and dorado (mahi mahi) and inshore for Cubera, Roosterfish and Snook to name but a few, you’ll have an amazing and unique experience. You can fish all year round here, there’s never an off season. The lodge can accommodate a group of anglers or, a mix of fishing and non fishing folk. That’s the beauty of fishing in Drake Bay, you can bring your non-fishing friends and family and they will love you for it as there’s so much for them to enjoy whilst you’re out on the ocean. Whilst out at sea, you’ll be fed and watered well with good tasty quality food and a choice of drinks.
A typical angling day starts with breakfast at 6.00am, setting sail at 7.00am normally getting back around 3.30pm. This gives you plenty of time to hit the pool, have a couple of drinks and talk (or boast) about the day’s fishing before dinner.
