rooster fishing in costa rica
rooster fishing in costa rica
During the summer, many blue marlin in local waters are in the 125- to 200-pound range which is below the 86-inch fork length minimum.
Large mullet, ballyhoo, ladyfish and Spanish mackerel rigged to skip across the surface or to swim are popular and effective baits.
These are frequently dressed up with brightly colored plastic skirts and artificial lures.
Large, 10- to 16-inch long, brightly colored artificial lures are also very effective for marlin.
Natural baits offer real food so that if a fish strikes short it will more than likely return to the bait. This is less likely to happen with artificial lures.
Artificials on the other hand can be trolled faster allowing more area to be fished and do not require the extensive time necessary to rig natural baits.
Summer offers anglers an excellent opportunity to catch these game fish closer to shore than during any other season.
Good concentrations of yellowfin tuna, wahoo and dolphin occur as close in as 90 feet of water, although the area from 180 feet deep to 600 feet deep will hold the best concentrations of these species.
As summer progresses, the size of both dolphin and wahoo gradually declines. At summer's start, 10- to 20-pound dolphin and 35- to 50-pound wahoo are the norm but average weight drops to 8 pounds for dolphin and 20 pounds for wahoo by summer's end.
Conversely, yellowfin tuna increase in size throughout the year, averaging 45 pounds by late summer.
Natural baits such as ballyhoo or mullet rigged with a small to medium sized artificial lure or colored skirt produce more of these game fish than any other baits.
Large artificial surface lures are also effective for the big fish. While all baits are usually fished on the surface from outriggers, it is wise to run at least one line 60 to 70 feet deep via a downrigger.
