Tuna Fishing Jaco Costa Rica
Best Tuna Fishing in Costa Rica is caught all year off Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Anglers who fish Costa Rica will enjoy targeting this beautiful offshore species, colored with metallic, dark blue on the back and upper sides, changing to yellow and silver on the belly. When hooked, Yellowfin will fight hard by diving deep. After hooking, hauling up and boating a few larger Tuna, anglers will know they have been royally tested. The reward for stiff arms, however, is often a plate of tasty, super fresh sashimi; most Costa Rican sport fishing captains carry soya sauce and wasabi just in case.
