What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Quepos, Puntarenas for the first time?

Fishing Quepos in February is an awesome experience. I've been lucky enough to fish there several times over the years and look forward to my next trip!! Thoroughly research your boat.....I prefer to fish offshore and zero experience in the inshore fishery there.

Remember that it's called "fishing" and not "catching" for a reason. Some days the fish just aren't there. Understand which months are best for the type of fish you're hoping to catch. If you've got specific questions, contact the respective charter contact for details. All of them seemed very willing to assist and answer any questions.

Tuna were a great fish to go after. The water was amazing and I would have to say some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced.

Hire a local panga like Hidalgo Sportfishing - it is cheaper and supports the locals. You get great opportunity to fish with the full attention of a local captain who really knows the hot spots.

Understand it is into the rainy season, so the weather and waves can be rough. Still big fish to be caught.

Come during the dry season if able, but don't be afraid to come during wet season.

Quepos is a little further down the road than Jaco, Herridura or Los Suenos but worth the trip. See the Monkeys on the beach at the parquet, fish Marina Pez Villa it's Pura Vida!

It was just ok, two charters caught 1 sailfish. Could have done that state side for a lot less. Jaco fish trip was better with 4 sailfish releases.

Call and book the guys on the Ravens out of Marina Pez Vela. You will be more than satisfied!!!!

Don't be afraid of using strong sunscreen, and be prepared to have a great time
