Costa Rica Fishing
The Pacific coast of Costa Rica has earned the reputation as having one of the largest populations of sailfish found anywhere in the world and Crocodile Bay Lodge is right in the thick of it. It is this fantastic light tackle saltwater species, as well as other larger species, that bring anglers from all over the world to this great fishing location.
Costa Rica Light Tackle Fishing
For light tackle inshore angling enthusiasts, Crocodile Bay offers fantastic opportunities. Inshore fishing in the flats boats and along the volcanic shore are good all year. Fishing off shore is available 12 months a year, with the months of December through May being the best time for sailfish and June through September being the best for marlin.

It is common to raise 10 to 15 sailfish a day and on spectacular days, over 50 sails!
