Quepos, CR Fishing Reports

Trophy Fish Caught

Recent offshore conditions out of Marina Pez Vela have produced strong ocean fishing, with Captain Soto putting guests on pelagic game fish. Our latest runs into blue water have yielded Pacific sailfish releases alongside yellowfin tuna hovering in the 50-to-150-pound range. Offshore spreads have also raised blue marlin and fast-moving wahoo, while deep-drop bottom fishing at 300-foot depths has delivered cubera snapper and red snapper for anglers looking to bring home table fish. Whether trolling current lines or fishing rocky structure, our recent catches showcase why Quepos remains a popular destination for anglers.
