Its size, velocity and spectacular jumps, many big game fishermen consider blue marlin the top choice in the saltwater angling world. Where can you go to do fight with a very large blue, one weighing over 1,000 pounds? For the last three years, the large ones seem to have everything but disappeared. Popular, Atlantic marlin hot spots keep informing fishing as really slow.
Saifish: Tuna: Tuna fisheries in profound oceans and coastal waters all over the planet are now taken into relevance. The progress aim at more responsible tuna fishing methods for the sustainability of the tuna resource. Many tuna fishing techniques are developed and used in various parts of costa rica. The decision of a particular fishing method results from numerous factors such as how tunas group, fishing areas,water depth, amount of investment and social conditions. Inseveral industrial operations, tunas are caught by using a net, drift netting, trapping, pole and lining, long lining or trolling. Wahoo: Utilizing light 60 pound wire leader with a double hook trap rig set up is the way to go for trolling live bait and in the fall season this is the most productive methods for consistently catching wahoo. Preference lures are mackerel, chihuil, bolito and smaller skipjack, the trap hook set up is a must, since wahoo strike at such high speeds and with the slicing action of their razor sharp teeth. Dorado: It is wise to invest in a heavy-duty flying gaff with at least a size-inch hook. Make sure the hook is made of heavy gauge (1/2") material, as thinner hooks can pull through on "hot" fish. Many flying gaffs have only quarter-inch thick rope, which may be strong enough to hold a fish, but doesn't afford the angler a solid grip. For this reason, it's better to have heavier 5/8" rope on your flying gaff. Also be sure to allow a sufficient length of rope for easy mobility to cleats on either side of the boat. Using proper methods when you bring a big fish boatside is also critical. Offshore action can come at any time, usually when you least expect it. What often separates the winners from the losers is advance planning and preparation. It is important to consider all the possible scenarios and obstacles on your boat beforehand - not once you have got a huge fish in front of you. This means having all of the necessary equipment out and readily accessible. Roosterfish: Ordinarily a 4 to 6 foot length of mono leader is used, with 50 to 80 lb. preferred. It depends on the clarity of the water and how aggressive the fish are. Water of the seas are crystal clear, it is better to use the lightest leader in order to attract strikes, but when the roosters are particularly abundant and the water is stirred up and not too clear, then an angler can use the leaders up to 100 lb. Roosterfish do not have sharp teeth but never the less they can wear through lines and do have a barbed gill plate. Snook: Numbers of fish on the fly you are seeking, then night costa rica snook fishing is probably for you as they really are a nocturnal feeder and love lighted docks for ambushing bait that are also attracted to the lights. Pretty easily get on fly at this time, distance casting is really not needed unless you are very noisy. The fly is lighter in weight and will not spook the fish on delivery. You have got to cross their eyes when you set the hook and hang on, because if they get a opportunity to turn their head they will take you right by their favorite barnacle-encrusted dock piling and most surely cut you off. Other than summer night lighted-dock fishing, we do target them spring and fall with spring being my favorite.
