There is no question that Costa Rica is regarded as one of the best places in the world for sport fishing. One of the main reasons why fishing is big business here is the thrill of the hunt and the adrenaline that rushes through your veins when you feel a sailfish on your line.
With its unusually calm waterways and short travel times to the best fishing spots, Costa Rica actually has one of the healthiest billfish populations across the globe. If you think you have the skillset to break some of the current roosterfish records, you might want to reserve your spot with the professional team at Crocodile Bay.
On 44 acres of manicured gardens and pathways on Costa Rica's remote Osa Peninsula in Central America's coastal jungle, you will find Crocodile Bay - a wildly popular, award-winning eco-resort that caters to the needs of adventure seekers. Sportfishing and family eco-adventures are some of the activities offered at this prestigious resort which has long been a playground for thrill-seekers from across the globe.
“Nowadays, there are not many areas left in the world where sport fishing is still permitted, but Costa Rica does allow licensed and sustainable fishing expeditions. Because there are so many unique and sought-after species in this area, Costa Rica fishing trips are amazing experiences, with dorado, sailfish, and blue marlin that make some of the most alluring catches for individuals who are passionate about the sport.
Whether fly fishing is more in your comfort zone, or whether you are looking to try your hand at something more daring, Crocodile Bay will ensure that you have an unforgettable experience,” a representative from Crocodile Bay said.
He added that Crocodile Bay’s fishing boats are fully equipped with fishing gear that includes Penn spinning and conventional gear in 30 and 20-pound versions, as well as Penn's 30s and 50s, and while anglers are permitted to bring their gear aboard, Crocodile Bay do have Temple Fork Fly Fishing gear available.
Crocodile Bay offers everything you may need and more to enjoy eco-adventures, coastal, or deep-sea fishing. The resort can accommodate small and large groups, and your days will be packed with activities that encourage the idea of living each day to the fullest.
Its website is brimming with details on eco-tours and sport fishing, and its experienced and helpful staff can help by providing information on flights to Costa Rica. You can also call them or send them an email through their website if you have any questions or need further assistance.
