Tuna Fishing in Costa Rica: A Complete Guide

W
Written byWahoo Sportfishing Jaco

Yellowfin tuna fishing in Costa Rica is world-class. These powerful fish can exceed 200 pounds and are found in the deep Pacific waters off Jacó year-round. The best yellowfin tuna fishing occurs from June through November when large schools gather around underwater seamounts and current edges 20–40 miles offshore. Chunking with fresh skipjack tuna, trolling cedar plugs, and live bait fishing near birds all produce great results. Book a full-day charter with Wahoo Sportfishing for your best chance at trophy tuna.
