Lake Arenal Kayak Fishing Want To Hear My Big Guapote Fish Tale

Lake Arenal is a very quiet lake as houses and marinas are not allowed to build on the water. You can spend the entire day on this 33 mile lake and almost never see another boat. The lake temperature stays around 76 degrees year around. During the windy season (Nov, Dec & January) the winds can reach 50 -60 MPH, This can be a tough time for fishing the lake. One local Guapote Fishing Guide reported catching the unofficial IGFA World Record Guapote Rainbow Bass weighing 6.5 Kilos at 2 PM last November. So you never know when a big Guapote will strike. This is the best time for windsurfing though and the lake will see many windsurfing and sailing visitors during these months.

Most other months have good Guapote Fishing conditions as each day will have 12 hours daylight and 12 hours nights. It gets daylight at the same time every morning. The lake is 200 ft deep in places and can get very clear during the non windy months, especially in September. Guapote Rainbow Bass can grow up to 15 lbs, but the average nice fish will be in the 2-5 lb range. We sponsor releasing the big seeder fish to help keep up the Guapote fishing population. Guapote Bass are considered some of the best tasting freshwater fish also.

Fishing on Lake Arenal is always interesting as there are many other varieties of fish in the lake and the tropical islands always have an abundance of wildlife such as sloths, monkeys and birds. Be sure to bring your camera and your binoculars to view the local birds and wildlife. If your not a fisherman, then you can do a guided kayak tour of the lake. The lake is absolutely beautiful! Lake Arenal is considered one of the most beautiful and cleanest lakes in the world.

When it rains its usually in the afternoon after 12pm and sometimes as late as 3-4pm. So get out there early and get your opportunity to hook into a Big Guapote Bass. More Guapote fishing information can be located with the below links. We also have a Bed & Breakfast with an incredible view of Lake Arenal.

Fishing Lake Arenal Costa Rica Lake Arenal Costa Rica Fishing Report for April, 2009:

"Fishing on Lake Arenal can be slow. One reason the fishing is so poor is because of spear fishing. Although illegal, many people dive the lake and the rivers feeding the lake to spear the Guapote. We spoke with one local in April 2009 that reported spearing over 60 large (5 to 8 lb Guapote) in less than 2 hours during the early morning hours of daylight. Unless the Government takes action the Guapote may soon disappear from Lake Arenal.

The lake however is very beautiful and clean. I highly recommend a boat tour / fishing trip to view the lake up close. On our last boat tour in April 2009 we saw Toucans, Howler Monkeys and many other species of local animals. We also got some great footage of Arenal Volcano from the lake. Kayaking on the lake is also becoming very popular."

Lake Arenal Fishing Tip:

According to Glenn from Lake Arenal Pontoon Boat Tours & Fishing Excursions, the best fishing for Guapote is when the lake starts rising (mid June through July) and when it's starts dropping in level (Feb-April). Thanks Glenn for the hot tip. Go on a boat tour or fishing with Glenn.
