Yellowfin tuna is high quality made here in Costa Rica. It is popular worldwide for their commercial value as food, and so popular around the world as an incredibly hard fighting game fish. They are pure muscle and should always swim before.

They are very common here between 20 and 100 pounds. throughout the year, and the fish of over 100 to 300 pounds. taken regularly, especially during the months of the green season – May to October.

When we encounter dolphins, our main tactic is to throw live bait in the back, and some fishermen throw poppers before. This often results in double headers and triple again and again. It can be very easy to fill the boat with 10 or more good-sized fish in an hour or two, provided a long battle against a fighter not to jeopardize £ 200!
