Sportfishing can be fun for anyone. However, if it's your first try, you might want to go out for just a few hours and stay close to shore to try it out and enjoy the ocean breeze. On the other hand, experienced fishers might prefer to spend the whole day deep sea fishing taking pictures of the biggest catches of the day.</li><li>What kind of fish can you catch in Manuel Antonio? Some of the <a href="https://www.vacationscostarica.com/fishing/species/">many types of fish</a> you can catch in Manuel Antonio are blue marlin, black marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, dorado, snapper, wahoo, and roosterfish. Yellowfin tuna and dorado are found in excellent quantities all year. The rest will be found all year but in various amounts, depending on the month. If you’re hoping to catch and enjoy mahi-mahi for dinner, July to October is the high season because rains wash tons of weeds and branches into the river mouths. If your goal is to catch a variety of fish rather than a specific type, the best combination of fishing will be from December through July.</li><li>Why choose Manuel Antonio for a sports fishing adventure? Manuel Antonio offers a great variety both in species of fish to be caught and in types of fishing, you can do, such as coastal, deep sea, sail fishing, and fly fishing.</li><li>How many days do Costa Rican Vacations suggest you stay here to fish? <a href="https://www.vacationscostarica.com/">Costa Rican Vacations</a> travel agents recommend fishing for a few days to get the most of your stay in Manuel Antonio. We can set you up with a long fishing weekend or even a longer customizable trip that includes hotels, transfers, and tours and activities to complement your fishing adventures.</li></ul>
