Silver King Lodge Fishing

Lodge Season: The Lodge is open year-round. The best tarpon fishing months are from March through May and September through October. Due to the Lodge's location near the mouth of the Rio Colorado, anglers have quick access to some of the most productive tarpon waters on the Caribbean coast. Tuna and wahoo fishing is usually excellent. Other inshore species, including snook, Spanish mackerel, Jack Crevalle, cubera snapper, barracuda, and tripletail are abundant.

Streamfishing: Fish the tropical rainforest streams and lagoons for the tackle-busting guapote, mojarra and machaca.

Monster Tarpon

Barry's Tarpon estimated at 250 pounds.
"The trip was great! The food, lodging, and hospitality at Silver King Lodge were unmatched; plus, they now have Wi-Fi and free outgoing telephone calls to the U.S.
The fishing was beyond incredible, exceeding all expectations. I landed around 30 Tarpon in the 90 to 200-pound range in five days on the water. The sixth day was spent touring the jungle, etc. One morning, I said, “That’s it!” out of total exhaustion after having landed seven tarpon. The fish are huge and likely getting larger year-to-year due to their catch-and-release policy, along with the tremendous amount of food in the area."
- Barry Lockton

Sample 5-Day Itinerary:
Most guests schedule a travel day before and after the trip so that a general 3-day itinerary would look like this:

Day 1: Travel to San José, Costa Rica. (A Lodge representative will drive you from the airport to your hotel. The hotel night is not included in the package.)
Day 2: You'll depart the hotel at 4:30 a.m. A representative will drive you to the small airport terminal for the group's 35-minute private charter flight to Barra del Colorado. At the Barra Airstrip, the Lodge staff will greet you. You'll take a five-minute boat ride up the Rio Colorado to the Lodge. You'll arrive at the Lodge between 7:30-8:00 a.m. You'll have a hot-cooked breakfast, complete your fishing license purchase, and then get in a full day of guided fishing.
Day 3 and 4: Full days of guided fishing.
You'll wake up at 5:00 a.m., have breakfast, and meet your guide at 5:30 a.m. You’ll return to the Lodge for lunch and a siesta. You’ll fish again from 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. Happy hour at 5:30 p.m., and dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Day 5: 7:00 to 7:30 a.m. Depart the Lodge after breakfast for the return flight to San José. Their ground transfer service will drive you to your hotel or the international airport. If you plan to leave Costa Rica on this day, book your flight for the afternoon, as flight delays can occur from the Lodge, and you are responsible for any missed flights.
