Quepos, Costa Rica Offshore Fishing

RoosterFish:

(Nematistius pectoralis )

 

RoosterFish recieved their name from the seven long dorsal fins along their back.   Quepos, Costa Rica is the best place in the world to catch  Roosterfish, and at times we pull up around 2 per hour!  Roosterfish caught range from 15 to 65 pounds and fight so hard that sometimes our anglers think they are hooked on the bottom!  

 

RoosterFish Fishing Techniques:

RoosterFish are generally fished for near land in rocky areas.  We fish Roosterfish generally within 200 yards of the beach, or around the various rock islands which are scattered off the beautiful Manuel Antonio.  Not only does this fishing generate a lot of action, we also get to circle really awesome islands which have cool rock formations like blowholes and caves!  Roosterfish and generally caught using Lookdowns, Blue Runners and Sardines which we have ready on the boat before our trip. Sometimes we also use the down-rigger if they are hiding way down deep.
