Fishing
Caribbean
The canals and rivers of the northern Caribbean coast boast some of the best snook and tarpon
fishing in the world, and they are lined with lush rain forest, which adds to the natural
experience. The tarpon average about 80 pounds in the Caribbean canals, and though the snook
are much smaller, they are good little fighters that taste great.
About half a dozen fishing lodges are located in Barra del Colorado, Tortuguero and Parismina,
all on the canals, and the houseboat Rain Goddess offers roving adventure that let anglers fish
the canals, several rivers and hidden lakes.
Seasons
|
| Tarpon |
They're always around, with traditional high season from December through May, but
that was a number of years ago when all of the lodges were fishing with 16-foot
boats and couln't get outside the river mouths as they do today with lager boats
designed for that purpose.
|
| Snook |
Big snook generally peak from March through Mayand again September through the end
of November.
|
| Fat Snook |
(Calba) Peak from mid-Novemberthrough late January, but often make an appearance
much earlier.

| Billfish |
When you can get outside to the blue water you will find Atlantic blue marlin
most any time of the year. Most are caught from February through September.
|
| Wahoo |
Plentiful on the outside from early February through mid June
