The Southern Zone: The Best Fishing in Costa Rica
Where deep-water structure meets shore, creating Costa Rica’s most productive waters, pristine and protected from commercial fishing pressures.
Beyond Ordinary Fishing
Costa Rica’s Remote Fishing Frontier
Where jungle-clad mountains meet the Pacific, Costa Rica’s last untamed waters remain pristine and productive. This remote paradise offers world-class fishing minutes from shore without the crowds.
Minutes to the Southern Zone
Just a short 40 minute flight from San Jose
Discover Costa Rica’s last untamed fishing frontier, where pristine rainforests meet the Pacific and trophy fish still roam in numbers that recall sport fishing’s golden age.
Here in the remote southern zone, where jungle-clad mountains cascade to the sea and civilization gives way to wilderness, Colio Sportfishing operates from the authentic fishing towns of Puerto Jiménez and Golfito to deliver access to some of the most productive waters left on Earth.
The Finest Structure Fishing
A Short Run to Deep Water: Costa Rica’s Perfect Fishing Ground
What truly sets this region apart is its remarkable underwater topography, where the continental shelf lies just minutes from shore, creating a dramatic playground of ledges, pinnacles, and rock piles that concentrate extraordinary numbers of gamefish.
This unique proximity to deep-water structure means anglers can access world-class fishing for everything from massive black marlin and trophy roosterfish to giant yellowfin tuna and cubera snapper without the long runs common to other destinations, making southern Costa Rica the country’s premier fishing destination.
