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.
