Fishing species in Jaco
Jaco gives anglers access to both offshore and inshore fishing. That means visitors can target a wide range of species depending on the trip type, season, boat, weather and fishing conditions.
Offshore species
Offshore fishing commonly focuses on sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, dorado and wahoo. These trips usually require more time on the water, which is why full day fishing is recommended for guests focused on offshore species.
Inshore species
Inshore fishing targets species closer to the coast, near structure, reefs, rocks and coastal zones. Common targets include roosterfish, snapper, grouper, snook and jack crevalle.
Best trip by species
For sailfish, marlin, tuna, mahi mahi and wahoo, choose offshore or full day fishing. For roosterfish, snapper and jack crevalle, choose inshore fishing or a shorter coastal trip.
Ask before booking
The bite changes. Before reserving, send Wahoo your target species and dates so the team can recommend the right boat and trip length.
