Marlin Report

Blue Marlin like this one, Black Marlin, and Striped Marlin are very common in the waters off the coast of Flamingo, Costa Rica which is located on the North West Pacific side of the country. These Marlin are caught by trolling rigged ballyhoo on circle hooks or slow trolling live bait like Bonita, Yellow Fin tuna, Dorado or Skip Jack. The diet of these Marlin is wide spread with everything from Spiny Lobster to small Mammal dolphin. These Marlin in these waters can reach to 1000 pounds in the Blue Marlin and Black Marlin species. The Stripe Marlin gets in the 400 pound rang. Even then this is an awesome fish to see jump 10 to 15 feet in the air like this one shown here did before it was released to fight another day.

Marlin Report

Jason "Mr.Trigger" with a Blue Marlin release

In Carrillo from December to April we will be fishing for Marlin, they might be smaller but you might see 3 to 10 a day and get several shots on fly! In Flamingo Costa Rica we get larger ones but one or two a trip.
