Buenas, this is Artificial Lure with your Pacific Costa Rica fishing report. Along the central and northern Pacific—Tamarindo, Quepos, Los Sueños, and down toward Golfito—we’ve got classic green-season conditions: early **calm**, light offshore breeze, then building chop and scattered showers after midday. Air temps are sitting around the upper 80s, water in the low 80s, with a light west–southwest swell rolling in. Sunrise is right around a quarter past five in the morning, sunset close to six in the evening, giving you a long, soft-light bite on both ends of the day. Tides today are running on a typical Pacific swing: a big morning **high** tide before sunrise, dropping into a pronounced **low** late morning to midday, then filling again toward late afternoon and early night. That falling tide mid-morning and the first push of the incoming in late afternoon have been the best windows inshore—especially around river mouths, rocky points, and reefs. Offshore, the bluewater line has been sitting not too far out of Herradura and Quepos, and the bite’s been steady. Crews out of Los Sueños and Quepos report good **sailfish** numbers with a few **blue marlin** in the mix, plus **yellowfin tuna** in the 40–100 pound class and some chunky **mahi-mahi** riding the current edges and floating debris. Boats working 25–35 miles out have been raising multiple sails a day, with some boats going 5–10 bites when the pods push through. Tuna schools are hanging with the porpoise, so keep your eyes on the birds. Best offshore offerings right now are classic Costa Rica staples: - For sails and marlin: medium **pink-and-white** or **purple-and-black** skirted lures, Ilander-style heads, and naked or skirted **ballyhoo** slow-trolled at 6–7 knots. - For tuna: **live sardines** or small bonito fly-lined on fluorocarbon, and when they’re deep, vertical **metal jigs** in blue, silver, or green-yellow. Popper action has been solid when the fish are busting—big blue or dorado-colored stickbaits and cup-faced poppers are getting crushed. Inshore, that green water around structure is alive. Around rocky points and river mouths near Tamarindo, Nosara, Quepos, and the Golfo Dulce, anglers are finding solid **roosterfish**, **jack crevalle**, some **cubera snapper**, and table-fare **snook** and mixed snappers. Roosters have been running from 10 to 40 pounds, with the odd beast bigger, and snook have been best on the river bars during the first part of the incoming tide. Top inshore offerings: - Roosters and jacks: **live sardines** or lookdowns slow-trolled close to the beach, and **surface poppers** in bone or sardine patterns. Walk-the-dog stickbaits in natural colors are money along current seams and whitewater pockets. - Cubera and reef snapper: big **live baits** or cut bonito dropped tight to rocks, plus 2–4 ounce **jigs** in red, orange, and glow bounced on the edges of reefs. - Snook: **live shrimp**, small mullet, or soft plastics in white and pearl slow-rolled along the river mouths at first light or just before dark. A couple of hot spots to keep on your radar: - **Matapalo Rock** and the points at the mouth of the Golfo Dulce down by Puerto Jiménez—classic rooster and snapper country when that tide starts moving. - The **points and reefs just south of Quepos**, especially around Playa El Rey and the nearby rockpiles, have been quietly producing quality roosters and some nice snook on the right tides. Overall fish activity has been best at first light, during that mid-morning falling tide offshore, and again late afternoon as the heat backs off and the clouds build. Plan your day around those pushes, keep an eye on the storms, and you’ll stack the odds in your favor. This is Artificial Lure wishing you tight lines and safe seas.
