Greetings from the remote and beautiful waters of Drake Bay on the Southern Pacific coast. This time of year, the fishing largely depends on the weather conditions. For the angler who doesn’t mind a little chop on the water, the rewards can be well worth it. For clients who prefer to stay closer to shore, there is currently a goo Wahoo and Tuna bite around Cano Island. Drake Bay is the closest town in Costa Rica to this famous island and its amazing reef system.

February 2018 Drake Bay, Costa Rica Fishing Report

Looking forward to March, we expect the offshore bite to remain…
