Sailfish in Southern Costa Rica
Bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, the province of Limon has a long uninterrupted coast with dozens of beautiful beaches found here. Home to lush coastal rainforests, dense mangrove swamps and wildlife-rich deltas, more than a quarter of Limon shores have been designated protected habitats. Completely different from the rest of the country, vacationing here is a wonderful way to spend a few days.

Sportfishing is big in Limon especially in the north of the province. Here you can find the incredible national parks of Tortuguero and Barra del Colorado, both of which offer plenty of angling opportunities. At the Parque Nacional Tortuguero you not only get explore the wonderful wildlife of this national park, but you also get the chance to try some excellent sportfishing off Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. Most of the hotels and lodges in the park usually arrange your fishing trips.

For some of the best sport fishing in the country, you must visit the Barra del Colorado Refuge. The largest wildlife reserve in the country, the Barra del Colorado has superb fishing opportunities all year round, with both freshwater and saltwater fish to catch. From January to June is tarpon hunting season, while from September to December you can hook plenty of snook.

Mackerel, barracuda, and jack crevalle can all be caught inshore, while offshore you will find plenty of marlin, sailfish and tuna. Along the many rivers of the Barra del Colorado you can catch fish such as the bluegill, machaca and rainbow bass. When fishing here do keep in mind that this refuge has a catch and release policy so that the fish here are protected at all times.

Another good place to go fishing in Limon is near the mouth of the River Parismina, south of the Tortuguero National Park accessible only by boat or water taxi, this area is ideal for the avid fishing enthusiast. Atlantic snook and tarpon are mostly caught here, with top notch fishing conditions throughout the year. An expensive place to visit due to its remoteness, Parismina is home to a number of all inclusive fishing resorts.
