Fishing in Nicaragua
Nicaragua offers a very diverse fishing on the Pacific side. Here, especially at the river mouths, large schools of tarpons are on the way. In addition to this, snooks can be caught all-year-round. Offshore, Mahi-Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna are the most common fish species. Jigging is not developed yet, but in the first attempts some beautiful Amberjacks have already been captured!
Recommended months: November – March
Fishing spots
San Juan del Sur
A popular destination on the Pacific coast for pelagic fish. Here you can catch sailfish, yellowfin tuna and mahi mahi in good sizes.
San Juan River
This river flows from Lake Nicaragua to the Caribbean and is famous for its huge tarpon. A top-class spot for fans of this fish species!
Corn Islands (Caribbean coast)
Perfect for fishing for bonefish, permit and barracuda. The clear waters and coral reefs are ideal for stalking with a light tackle rod.
Aserradores & surrounding area
An excellent area for inshore fishing. Roosterfish are most popular here, but large schools of jack crevalle can also be caught here. Cubera snappers are to be expected on the rocky sections!
