Guanacaste Fishing Reports

Excellent weather conditions in Guanacaste

Now we are in the transition month between rainy season and dry season. We have had very good seas conditions, calms seas, very few rains, a lot of sun and not wind at all; so, it is perfect to go out there and target for a sail or a big roosterfish.

- Steve Saunders and 3 more friends from the Riu Guanacaste were fishing for a full day aboard the MONO boat and Arnaldo Mendez captain. They did deep sea fishing in the morning and released a sail; later, came to the shore and released two roosterfish and other bunch of inshore fishes. As you can see in the pics below, seas conditions are perfect to be fishing, no matter where offshore or inshore!!!!

Papagayo weather conditions between October 10th until October 18th

We had a little more than one week with a terrible bad weather, very bad seas conditions and a lot of rains. There was a tropical storm in front of Honduras in the Pacific and it shacked all water round here. Close to the shore, here in Papagayo, waves were as high as 12-15 feet and we needed to move our boats from Coco beach to Bahia Culebra. There was a lot of rain everyday; however it was not the problem but the seas conditions. Now, the conditions are normal and we have again 4ft waves and scattered showers along the day (we are in the green season). Of course, nobody were fishing on those days; however, today, October 19th some boats leave early morning.

Fishing on October 7th

- Travis Hardegree and 7 more people were deep sea fishing aboard the TUNA FISH and DREAM ON boats. The people aboard the TUNA-FISH has a slow day and caught only one dorado, the people aboard the DREAM ON released 3 sails and caught one dorado too.

Fishing out of Hilton Papagayo

As you can see in the pics below, seas conditions are really really good here in Papagayo/Guanacaste region. A few rains sometimes in the afternoon/night and no wind at all makes seas conditions special for both: inshore and offshore charters.

- A couple from the Hilton Papagayo was inshroe fishing aboard Albatres boat and Jose Mendez captain. They released a nice roosterfish and caught one yellowfin tuna. inshore fishing in gulf of Papagayo inshore fishing out of Hilton
