Rooster Fishing in Costa Rica
Rooster fishing in Costa Rica is truly an amazing experience! Known for their aggressive strikes, acrobatic fights, and for their distinctive dorsal fins that resemble the comb of a rooster, roosterfish are a favorite among sport fishermen, mainly due to their fighting ability.
Roosterfish habitat is near rocky points in water not deeper than 50-60 feet. Do you want to catch a big roosterfish? If so, you need to use bait, and live bait is best: small bonitos, ladyfish, or blue runner. When artificial lures, like popper, are used smaller specimens are caught.
When possible, we will bring the live bait; however, since the best bait is the small tunas, it is caught only a few hours before it is used. This specie cannot be kept alive in a live well but in a tuna tube for a few hours.
