Fishing at Ocotal




The Gulf of Papagayo´s marlin fishing is recognized as some of the finest in the world. Black Marlin is caught year round with the peak months between May and August.

For blue marlin, our waters are considered some of the finest in the world. Seen year round, most catches are made during December, January, February, March and April. The rare striped marlin is also occasionally caught in our waters.

The fertile fishing grounds of the Gulf of Papagayo provide year round action for approximately 25 varieties of sport fish. Although most famous for its sail fishing from April through September, these same waters produce great marling catches almost every month of the year.

During peak months, Ocotal boats regularly raise 10 to 20 sailfish each day.

Sails are caught year round averaging 1 to 2 sails raised per day from October through March. Boat crews are experienced to assist light tackle and fly fishermen challenge these 100 pound plus fish.

Apart from billfish, probably the most sought after prey for the sport fishermen is the roosterfish. More trophy-size roosters are taken from waters around Ocotal than any place in the world. Taken on live bait, 40 to 60 pound roosters, taken with certainty all year round.

A Fishing day at Ocotal starts at 6:15 a.m. with breakfast on the picturesque terrace of La Brisa restaurant, overlooking the Gulf of Papagayo. Boats are ready to depart at 7:00 a.m. The eight-hour day generally includes a one -hour run time and 6 hours of fishing.

Half day inshore fishing trips are also available. Our chef will be glad to prepare your catch of the day.
