Sailfish are also available throughout the year, with May through August as the top season. The slowest months are from August through November, with September as the lowest time.
Tuna peaks from August through October. Yellowfin and bigeye tuna are found at Catalina Island, 30 minutes from the beach where schools of 12 to 20 pounders are abundant. There are frequently large concentrations of 40 to 60 pound tuna and there are plenty of 200 to 400 pounders caught every year.
Wahoo season begins with the May rains and peaks in July and August. They are caught around rocky points and islands and occasionally offshore.
Roosterfish are available all year. In Papagayo Bay more are caught from November through March. The roosters like the structure of the shoreline and islands where they’re found in 50 to 60 feet of water.
