The Ultimate Fishing Guide For Sportfishing In Costa Rica

1. The Ultimate Fishing Guide For Sportfishing In Costa Rica For many people, outdoor recreation remains an important pastime and mankind's longing for nature has increased sharply over the decades. Recreation in Costa Rica is mainly centered around aqua and rainforest adventures in various forms. For any angler, whether aspiring or experienced, fishing is an enjoyable activity that helps them relax and what could be better than combining tourism and their favorite pastime? Sportfish anglers come to Costa Rica from all over the world for a chance to hook some of the most popular fish species found in these waters. Costa Rica is blessed with miles of pristine coastline and an abundance of world-class fishing destinations and regardless of whether you are looking to let your reel roll off the beach or from the rocks, or whether you are into the deep waters of the ocean, this country in Central America offers something for everyone. In fact, it is one of the most popular sportfishing destinations in the world. Many eco-resorts offer packages that include spa treatments, eco-tours through the rainforest and local and fusion cuisine from their gourmet restaurants. In many instances, resorts in Costa Rica serve as a place of escape, especially for urbanites, but in light of this, it is extremely important that resorts should not only be kept as close as possible to the natural state but also that the potential of these resorts, must be utilized in sustainable ways. This includes all activities on land and on water. Costa Rica has been applying proper biological control since the early 1990s in order to preserve the natural environment. Their sustainability efforts are great in both environmental and social responsibility and the resorts are fit to keep their environmental management system up to date with the best practices of the tourism industry in terms of sustainability. The sustainable use of marine resources in Costa Rica is just as important and caution is exercised against overfishing, but that does not mean that sportfishing is not allowed here. Costa Rica is one of the best places in the world for sportfishing, and although there are restrictions and regulations regarding certain fish species such as black, blue and striped marlin, tuna as well as sailfish, anglers from around the world are still welcomed all year round. What makes Costa Rica famous for sportfishing, is that the upwelling generated by the offshore winds to the north and south, brings baitfish into the region, leaving a flat ocean with one of the world's greatest populations of sailfish. Some resorts are also known as the ultimate sportfishing destination in Costa Rica and are particularly famous for their catch-and-release Bill Fishing expeditions in the Pacific Ocean for Striped, Blue, and Black Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado and Sailfish.
