Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

The most popular season for fishing in Quepos is spring, and most anglers book their trips 91 days in advance.

There are few places on this planet with the marine diversity that the coastal fishing in Quepos offers. On top of that, you’re surrounded by jungle, beaches, and beautiful blue ocean in a truly exotic place. Quepos is not just an anglers paradise, it's an adventurers paradise.

Quepos is home of the roosterfish which is on many anglers bucketlist. Roosterfish get their name from their comb that extends above their head similar to a rooster. These fish get fairly large and are formidable fighters when hooked up. While trolling the nearshore waters you will also have the chance to catch small yellowfin tuna, mackerel, and kingfish. If fishing with bait and lures then you can find snook close to shore and snapper a little further out. All of these fish make for a great day of fishing and with jungle, beaches, and ocean all insight, it's hard to imagine a better place to wet a line.

Offshore fishing from Quepos will give you the opportunity to target species including mahi-mahi, wahoo, and giant yellowfin tuna, but the most sough-after fish here is the billfish. It’s not uncommon to hook up to 15 sailfish in a day and the marlin are known to hit 700 pounds. This offshore fishery is top-notch for giant pelagic species and if you hook up to one, you're in for a long fight.
