Other than sail and marlin roosterfish is the target best appreciated by sports-fishermen who come to this region looking for a fishing adventure. With an average weight between 50 and 80 pounds, rooster fish is a great opponent for any professional or amateur fisherman. An 80 lb rooster fish is a better fighter than a 80 lb sailfish.
Rooster fishing in Papagayo
Rooster fish is not a migratory specie, it is rather a territorial one and it is present year round. However, a higher number of fishes are caught when water conditions are especially good, no matter what time of the year it is. One of the main reasons for the abundance of this species is the fishing technique that is used to catch it (circle hook to catch this variety of fish) plus the catch and release technique shared by all of the Gulf of Papagayo fishermen.. Another reason for the abundance of this fish is that there is a large area of good fertile grounds where the rooster fish live in Papagayo (Bat Islands) and this area has been incorporated into a protected area called the Santa Rosa National Park.
We use to catch rooster fish close to the shore, near to beaches such as Coco Beach, Playa Panama, Playa Potrero, Playa Tamarindo and several others in the Gulf of Papagayo. However, there are other well known areas, far from beaches, where this species is more abundant and with bigger size such as the Catalina Islands located on the south side of the gulf and near Bat Islands and Playa Blanca on the gulf of Papagayo north side. Rooster fish in the Gulf of Papagayo can be found in waters no deeper than 100 to 200 feet and as shallow as 10 to 15 feet close to the shore. Their habitat in the tropics is not too cool nor too warm waters thus making fishing conditions especially favorable when the water is a bit cloudy where they can see the bait and bite instead of very clear or dirty water. You can catch many rooster fish when conditions in the day are favorable.
If an offshore charter isn't in your vacation budget there are some other fishing options available along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Half and full day kayak fishing trips can be arranged for both novice and expert level anglers. Another low budget fishing option in Costa Rica are locally owned and operated pangas (small wood and fiberglass boats with small outboard motors). Very few panga owners speak English and it's almost impossible to book them in advance but if you are interested in this type of inshore fishing we can point you in the right direction or connect you with an English speaking guide that can take you. Some guides even offer surf fishing trips to local rivermouths and estuaries. Live bait fishing off the beach is a great option for the angler that wants to spend as much time fishing as possible. A good selection of fishing gear is available for purchase in Costa Rica at places like Borbon and JMJ but rental gear is not available at most places. Send me an email and I can tell you what
gear you should take to Costa Rica to catch Snook and Roosterfish.
