The Green‑Season Bite Was On 🛥️🐠🌊
June marked the heart of Costa Rica’s “green season,” but the afternoon showers didn’t stop the action—fishing was red‑hot. Calm morning seas and nutrient‑rich runoff sparked feeding frenzies both offshore and inshore. 🐬🎣🌴
Offshore Action ☀️🌊🐟
- Yellowfin Tuna schooled under spinner dolphins just 15–30 nm off the drop‑off—fish of 50–150 lb proved common, with bigger bruisers reported on live bait and cedar plugs.
- Dorado (Mahi‑Mahi) packed along weed lines and floating debris; double‑hook‑ups became the rule, not the exception.
- Pacific Sailfish stayed consistent, and both Blue and Black Marlin hit the deck on the ledge for anglers who pulled larger teasers.
Pro Tip: Bring a spread of Ilander skirts rigged with ballyhoo for billfish, plus poppers to pitch at surface‑busting tuna. 🎣🏝️☀️
Inshore Highlights 🌅🐟🛥️
Rocky points north toward Playa Herradura produced: 🐠🎣🌊
| Species | Average Size | Best Technique |
| Roosterfish | 20–60 lb | Live goggle‑eyes slow‑trolled along the beach drop‑offs |
| Red Snapper | 5–15 lb | Jigging metal slabs over structure |
| Snook & Jacks | 10–25 lb | Casting top‑waters at river mouths on an outgoing tide |
Weather & Sea Conditions 🌴🐬☀️
Daytime highs hovered around 85 °F (29 °C) with light morning winds and afternoon rains. Water temps sat at 80–82 °F, perfect for pelagics. Anglers packed breathable UV gear and a light rain jacket for the ride home. 🏄♂️🌊🎣
Best lunar windows: Full Moon – June 9‑11 and New Moon – June 23‑24 lined up with peak tidal swings and delivered better bites. 🐟🎣🌴
