Former Seattle Seahawk Robbie Tobeck with a Costa Rica sailfishLos Suenos Resort is smack dab in the middle of some of the most productive sailfish water in the world and home to excellent fishing for blue and black marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, roosterfish, cubera snapper, jack crevalle, and a long list of other exciting bluewater species. The location of this first class, full service resort to some of the best bluewater fishing in the world couldn't be any better!

Saltwater Fishing at Los Suenos

The central coast of Costa Rica is without a doubt one of the top saltwater fishing destinations in the world and one of the few places where anglers have a bonafide shot at releasing three or more billfish species in a single day. Don't think that's possible? It happens along the central coast of Costa Rica on a regular basis.

You've no doubt heard of the great sailfish action in Costa Rica, but blue and black marlin, striped marlin, and swordfish also lurk in the same waters making the billfish grand slam a definite possibility and the super grand slam, four billfish species in a single day, not out of the question. During the peak season 20 to 30 sailfish hookups a day are common and on slower days 5 to 10 hookups are the norm. Sprinkle in a few of the other tackle-testing bluewater species and...well, you get the idea!

The rocky shoreline north and south of the resort provides great action for inshore species like roosterfish, cubera snapper, jack crevalle, snook,Roosterfish caught on the Costa Rica shoreline near Los Suenos Resortamberjack, bluefin trevally, and numerous other inshore species. Many of these shoreline cruisers will readily attack large surface poppers and the bottomfish species will hammer live bait, chunked bait, and jigs.

Guests of the Outdoor Line Billfish Bonanza will fish aboard 32' and 42' Maverick sportfishers moored directly in front of the resort at Los Suenos Marina and operated by local captains. The boats are set up to fish four anglers comfortably and the larger vessels can accomodate up to six anglers comfortably, though four is optimum. On a typical day the fleet will run anywhere from 12 to 20 miles offshore depending on where the fish are located. Billfish are targetted with either live bait or trolled lures depending on what kind of mood they are in. Double and even triple hookups are the norm in Costa Rica...anything can happen!
