Breakfast at the hotel, the northern Caribbean region from Tortuguero north to Barra del Colorado and beyond the Nicaraguan border also offers some of the world’s best Tarpon fishing. This prehistoric relic, over 80 million years old, is pound for pound, the toughest game fish anywhere. Boating an 80lb Tarpon is like dragging up a big truck from the bottom of the sea. Tarpon, fish or Silver King, as it is often called, will give you the fight of your life. Only the Marlin is its rival in stunning leaps and sheer, unbridled power.
Traditionally, the Tarpon season in Tortuguero begins July/August, and ends in mid-February.

As Manuel Antonio is smack in the middle of Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast, the peak Manuel Antonio fishing seasons conform to the patterns of that area. As everywhere along the Pacific, you can catch any species every day of the year, but anglers coming for a Costa Rica fishing experience who set their minds of billfish, for example, will find the peak Marlin and Sailfish bite between December and April.
Yellowfin Tuna follow, coming into the Manuel Antonio / Quepos area a couple of months later, and peaking in July-September. If you are looking to boat a Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) for dinner on your Costa Rican sportfishing charter, your best bet is between July and October, when the rains wash reeds, branches and logs into the Pacific Ocean river mouths of Manuel Antonio and vicinity. And you might find a Wahoo screeching your reel when the water is clearest.
