Fishing in CR
 

Just wondering if some of you have done any fishing whether from shore or boat, and can tell me about your experience.

Also...where is it cheapest

Any info would be good info!

Can you rent surf casting equipment anywhere for cheap?

What is the fishing like at many of the river mouths along the coast(from shore)?

The fishing is great from many areas on the pacific coast but is going to cost more in the larger towns such as Quepos/Manuel Antonio and Tamarindo.
My husband and I did a fishing trip out of Garza when we were staying in Nosara a couple years ago. I think we paid about $75 for a small boat for 1/2 day, which is very cheap but the boat didn't have a cover. There are more boats available now though. We caught tuna and mahi-mahi which was fantastic! Saw sailfins too but were not going for game fish, we were going to 'dinner' fish!
There is also excellent fishing at the Nosara River mouth. Lots of fishermen there everyday. But I don't know if you can just rent a rod and reel...you'd have to ask some of the fishing operations if that is an option instead of going out on a boat.

Thanks Alley, what are the fish biting at the rivermouths though?

Anything else about fishing? Am i safe to bring Medium weight fishing rod and reel??
