is quickly becoming one of the most popular fishing
destinations in the world. Between the months of
December and April, Quepos is protected from the
winter winds typical of nothern Costa Rica, and is
blessed with some of the best fishing in the world.
It is not uncommon to hear tales from tired
fishermen of ten to fifteen sailfish being released
in a single day, along with scores of tuna, dorado,
wahoo, red snapper, rooster fish and the Iist goes
on. There are all sorts of boats to choose from, but
it is wise to make your reservations in advance
since many boats are completely booked months in
advance during this time of the year. During the
rest of the year there is still good fishing in

Johnson Celebrity Fishing tournament and more than
30 celebrities enjoyed the facilities of Hotel
