Extended Multi-Day Big Game Hunting Package

Extended Multi-Day Big Game Hunting Package

Captain Jason knows that big pelagic fish don't operate on human schedules. That's why this three-day package gives serious anglers the time they need to properly hunt marlin, tuna, and other trophy species in Costa Rica's deep blue waters. Starting each morning before sunrise and returning after sunset, you'll spend your days 12 miles offshore where the real monsters cruise. This isn't a casual day trip – it's a focused fishing campaign designed for anglers who understand that finding giants takes patience, skill, and plenty of ocean time.

What to Expect on the Water

Each day kicks off with a hot breakfast dockside before you head out into the pre-dawn darkness. Captain Jason uses these early hours to reach productive water while monitoring current breaks, temperature changes, and baitfish activity. The boat stays positioned in deep water where blues, blacks, and striped marlin patrol the thermocline. You'll work different spread patterns throughout each day – sometimes pulling lures at 8 knots, other times slow-trolling live bait when conditions call for finesse. Fresh lunches keep everyone fueled during the long days, and the extended schedule means you can afford to move spots when fish aren't cooperating. By evening, you've covered serious ground and maximized your time in prime big game territory.

Heavy Tackle & Deep-Sea Setup

This package runs on serious offshore gear built for trophy fish. Captain Jason rigs heavy trolling spreads with proven lures and fresh ballyhoo, adjusting the setup based on daily conditions and target species. The boat carries 50 and 80-pound class tackle, outriggers, and downriggers to cover different depths and present baits naturally. Live bait gets deployed when marlin are being picky, and the crew knows how to work structure breaks where amberjack and big tuna stage up. Three consecutive days allows time to dial in exactly what's working – maybe day one shows that wahoo prefer the blue-and-white islanders, while day two reveals that yellowfin are hitting deep-dropped live goggle-eyes. This extended approach lets you adapt and improve your strategy instead of just hoping for luck on a single outing.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Roosterfish patrol the deeper edges around Playa Flamingo, and these iconic fighters put on shows that make every angler's highlight reel. They average 30-50 pounds in these waters, with their distinctive dorsal fins creating one of fishing's most recognizable silhouettes. Peak season runs May through September when they move into deeper water to feed on sardine schools. What makes roosters special is their aerial display – they'll jump, tail-walk, and throw the hook if you don't keep steady pressure. Captain Jason targets them around rocky points and current breaks where they ambush baitfish.

Mahi mahi, or dorado as locals call them, provide consistent action year-round with peak numbers from May through August. These 20-40 pound speedsters hit trolled baits hard and immediately go airborne, making multiple jumps while showing off their brilliant gold and green colors. They school around floating debris, weed lines, and current edges – exactly the type of structure you'll be working during this extended package. Mahi are perfect for keeping the action steady between shots at larger pelagics, and they're outstanding table fare when you want to bring dinner back to shore.

Greater amberjack stage up around deeper structure and seamounts, typically weighing 40-80 pounds in these offshore waters. These bruisers test your tackle and endurance with powerful runs toward the bottom. Peak season runs October through March when they gather in larger schools. What makes amberjack exciting is their initial run – they'll strip 200 yards of line before you can blink, then dig toward structure trying to break you off. The three-day format gives you time to specifically target the offshore humps and ledges where the biggest AJs hide.

Yellowfin tuna cruise these waters year-round, with the largest specimens showing up during the cooler months from December through April. The offshore waters around Playa Flamingo regularly produce 100+ pound yellowfin, and these fish demand respect. They make blistering runs that test your drag system and fight with power that'll leave your arms aching. Captain Jason targets them around temperature breaks and current lines, often finding them mixed with dolphin pods or working baitfish schools.

Cubera snapper represent the ultimate bottom bounty in deeper waters, with specimens reaching 40-60 pounds around offshore structure. These copper-colored giants prefer rocky bottom and drop-offs, hitting large baits presented near the seafloor. Peak fishing happens during their spawning aggregations from May through September. Cuberas are notorious for their crushing bite and bulldogging fight – they'll wrap you around structure if given the chance. Finding trophy cubera requires local knowledge of specific offshore humps and ledges that Captain Jason has marked over years of fishing these waters.
