Practice Fishing

practice fishing at the Offshore World Championship

Don’t wait until the first day of the tournament to shake off the dust and first-day jitters! To better your chance at success competing against the best fishing teams in the world, we encourage our anglers to arrive early to Costa Rica to practice fish on a local charter boat and familiarize yourselves with the local fishery. During the tournament, all anglers must hook their own fish. Practice the art of bait-and-switch with your team and gain a competitive edge from local experience by booking a pre-fishing charter in the exact marina of the tournament! To book your practice charter, go to , or email [email protected] and tell them you’re an OWC angler!
