The Bite is On: Your Mid-July Catch List

While some may talk about a "slowdown" after the spring season, seasoned anglers know that July in Los Sueños offers some of the best variety and action of the year. This month is a phenomenal time to target a colorful array of hard-fighting species, both inshore and offshore.

The hunt for big meat fish is excellent right now. In addition to a consistent bite from **Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)** and **Cubera Snapper**, we are seeing impressive **Grouper** being pulled from the rocky reefs using bottom fishing techniques. These brutes offer both a challenge and a fantastic dinner.

Hold tight to your rods! The inshore action for **Roosterfish** remains world-class, providing a thrilling fight for those seeking a catch-and-release trophy. Offshore, the **Yellowfin Tuna** are schooling up and putting on a powerful show. While Roosters are for the photo, Tuna are for the table—our crews can prepare fresh sashimi right on board.

We’re also seeing a strong showing of billfish. This is a prime month for **Blue Marlin**, and our experienced captains know to target them around the flotsam washed out to sea by the green season rains. Baitfish like small Tuna and Bonitos congregate near this debris, drawing in the majestic Marlins you've been dreaming of.

July Weather & Conditions in Jaco, Costa Rica

As is typical for mid-July in the "green season," you can expect a beautiful mix of tropical weather. Mornings are generally bright and sunny with calm seas, creating perfect conditions for heading offshore. Daytime temperatures average in the mid to upper 80s (°F), cooled by a steady ocean breeze that feels like paradise aboard your charter.

Expect scattered rain showers to develop later in the afternoon. These tropical rains are what keep the coastline so lush and vibrant, and they rarely disrupt a full day of fishing as our charters depart early to take advantage of the prime morning bite.
