Alpha Mike Sportfishing Charters: The waters of the southern zone of Costa Rica offer the avid fisherman an opportunity to fish both off shore and inshore anytime of year with December through May being the best for sailfish and June through September being the hot months for marlin. Thanks to the volcanically created seamounts that rise hundreds of feet above the ocean floor a perfect breeding and feeding ground exists for the bait fish that attract larger fish that are the food source for marlin, sail, tuna and dolphin fish (dorado). They feed well, with sailfish reaching 150lbs, tuna 300lbs and the amazing marlin, (blue, black and striped) as large as 850lbs.
