Los Suenos Marina Sport Fishing – Before the sun is breaking over the coastal mountain ridges at Los Suenos Marina, the docks are buzzing with activity. Crew members are swabbing the decks, prepping the rigs and tack, getting the bait wells topped up, re-spooling as well as loading in the food, ice, and drinks for the clients. The clients are arriving by the van loads, all with an extra-large coffee in-hand.
The excitement is on the rise as all the crew members between the boats joke and jibe one another and share yesterday’s hook-ups and release stats, each trying to top the other. It’s a guy’s dream atmosphere, you instantly start to think about diving into the lifestyle, and many do!
The groups of arriving clients are ready to go and boat crews are as excited as the clients about the prospects for the day. The clients are searching for their fishing charter boats, itching to get out and get their first strike. This time of year, mid-February, Costa Rica’s mid-summer point, is one of the best times to take a fishing charter from Los Suenos. The marlin and sailfish are in full feed mode, the weather is perfect, the waters out of Los Suenos Marina are calm and at the perfect temperature for deep sea fishing.
To give an idea of the spectacular fishing out of Los Suenos Marina, the first leg of the Los Suenos Signature Triple Crown Billfish Tournament just finished in the last week of January 2017, with 785 sailfish and 212 marlin released for a total of 997 billfish in three days of fishing, by 50 teams. With these kinds of numbers it’s easy to see why Los Suenos is ranked as one of the best places in the world for sportfishing big billfish!
