Inshore Vs Offshore Fishing In Costa Rica
For inexperienced anglers, the entire coastal and maritime conundrum can be a bit puzzling. Is there a difference if you are fishing on the coast or offshore in Costa Rica? Where does the best fishing occur, on the coast or on the high seas? It all depends on your tastes and the expectations and goals you set for fishing in Costa Rica. Let's unpack this entire offshore and coastal affair first before diving deeper into those waters.
Inshore fishing in Costa Rica
Fishing anywhere within 30 miles of shoreline is classified as inshore fishing. The average execution time is between 15 minutes to an hour, so inshore fishing trips can be made with just half a day off. However, once you try coastal fishing and are caught by a giant rooster, you will want to spend the entire day. Due to the relatively relaxed style of fishing, inshore fishing is a hit with families with children.
Inshore fishing is generally focused on islands, reefs and coves, natural habitats for non-migratory fish such as rooster, sea bass, snapper, grouper and marsh. Since these fish never go anywhere, inshore fishing can be enjoyed year-round. With lightweight gear and the practical wisdom of the crew, you too can get up close to a smart snapper or sturdy rooster. The Quepos area of Costa Rica is famous for coastal fishing.
Deep sea fishing (deep waters) in Costa Rica
If your heart is focused on the deepest treasures of the ocean, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, or yellow fin tuna, you should head up to 120 miles to the Pacific. Equipped with state-of-the-art sonar, GPS, and fishing gear, and led by a rugged captain and crew, your deep sea fishing Costa Rica trip could lead to some epic encounters with elusive billfish, traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour. For experienced anglers, offshore is the ultimate in fishing. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your Share fishing Costa Rica vacation right away.
