COSTA RICA KAYAK FISHING
Costa Rica fishing is world famous.
Everybody knows that.
But kayak fishing?
Yep. Eskimos invented kayak fishing (and ice fishing!) but I’m sure you’ll agree it’ll be a lot more fun in the tropics (this fellow is wearing a cap and long-sleeved shirt because of the sun, not the temperature).
Never kayaked? No problem. These little craft, seating one or two people, are remarkably stable.
And they’re available and reasonably priced in lots of places. Many are configured with rod holders.
You can either try your luck on your own or get a guide for the day. Either way, you’ll be the captain.
There are lots of ocean species to look for on your Costa Rica vacation including tuna, sailfish, mackerel, jacks, roosterfish, snook, barracuda, snapper, and tarpon (in the Caribbean).
Or, for some great freshwater fishing, click to visit
Lake Arenal.
Maybe you’ll catch a world record from your kayak. Or just hook the “big one that got away.”
If you’re ambidextrous, like the fellow in the picture below, you can fish with both hands (and catch two fish).
Or, perhaps you’d like to take a leisurely sea kayak voyage and catch your dinner. You can do that on your Costa Rica vacation, too.
