Along
Costa Rica's Golfo Dulce
The Gulfo Dulce is one of the deepest Gulfs in the world - more than
1,000 feet in some places.
Surrounded by mountainous rain forest
and fed by the Pacific Ocean feeds from the south, the Gulf provides
one of the most unique Inshore fishing opportunities on the planet.
We utilize 22 ft. Pro-Lines which are perfect for
inshore fishing. These boats can easily maneuver in shallow
water and along the shoreline. Each boat can accomadate comfortably
up to three anglers and is equipped with heavy duty fishing tackle,
rods, reels, depth sounder, fish finder, GPS, VHF, and all the US
Coast Guard safety equipment.
Fishing in the Gulf is excellent most of the year round.
Many world records have been caught here over the years. Captain
Mark Corn caught this record Colorado Snapper (24 pounds, 8 ounces)
at the mouth of the Esquinas River, upper Golfo Dulce, on October
22, 2000.
The reason the fishing is so good in the Gulf is this:
the rivers flowing from the mountains surrounding the Gulfo Dulce
carry mineral rich waters from the rain forest out into the Gulf.
In addition, there is a well documented "upwelling" in
this region feeding into the Gulf from the Pacific Ocean. This
simply means the clean deep blue waters of the Gulf Stream offshore
flood into the Gulf from open water every day with the tides. These
two factors feed and support an enormous amount of bait fish in
the Gulf. It is mother nature's natural bait factory. As we all know,
where we find bait, we find large hungry fish.
The Gulf supports many species of fish including four species of
snapper, roosterfish, grouper, snook, pompano, amber jack, jack crevalle,
cierro mackerel, blue travelli, and many others.
Typical fishing tactics inshore include the following:
Fly-fishing for all species.
Live bait fishing for large dog-toothed snapper, roosterfish, and
snook.
Casting lures for snapper and Spanish mackerel.
Special night-time bottom fishing for all species.
Bait-fishing and casting at the world-class Rock
of Matapalo.
