There are different types of anglers out there. If going deep sea fishing and trolling all day doesn’t interest you, then this package might be for you. You’ll try a more hands-on approach by spending your time in-shore fishing for a variety of species.
Troll, cast, or jig to your heart’s content in the still pristine waters. If you’re in saltwater, expect mackerel, jacks, grouper, snapper, snook, and the famous roosterfish.
For those interested in freshwater and light tackle, you may fish for snook and freshwater exotics like guapote, a powerful and colorful fish called by many rainbow bass; mojarra, a large bream-like cichlid; and machaca, a distant relative of the piranha.
While you’re not out fishing, you’ll have the opportunity to relax at La Mansion Inn. Considered one of Manuel Antonio’s top hotels, your temporary home will have an important role: getting you in good spirits.
Why? Well, someone with a good attitude is always prone to catch more fish!
