I second the sentiment regarding rivermouths. Check the tides, find the outflow and look for snook lining up to catch baitfish washed out w/ the outgoing tide.
If you are wading rivermouths keep an eye out for caiman (alligator like reptiles)
Re: pangas, you may or may not find one willling to take you out, but if you do, a pfd and handheld wareproof gps are a must. Safety is not a consideration and Ticos may opt to put the panga in situations they woukdnt otherwise if a Gringo wasnt paying them.
I caught 35lb mahi and a 65lb Rooster down there(Nosara- a few hour south of Jaco). There are plenty if fish, but make sure you live to tell the tale,
Tight lines!

My buddy just got back from Jaco. They could not find a panga to fish from but used a captain-information to be PM'd once I find out who and where. he said they cruised along next to shrimp boats and threw dead bait on spinning rods and crushed enormous jacks. the jacks would only eat dead bait.
If you have never been, the water is big there, not like US east coast. the waves are thick and it can be kinda dicey.
we fished down in Dominical off a panga and wet waded some throwing spinning gear.
In looking at the map of Jaco, looks like there are 3 rivers that flow into the ocean. rumor has it that snook will hangout and eat the bait fish being flushed out of the freshwater streams.
I would look in those river/ocean spots for jacks, macs, and snook.
from experience, bring everything you think you need plus a backup. There are no places to buy gear down there.
more to follow.

Have a quick question to run by the group - I will be heading to Costa Rica for 4 days in early March for my to-be-brother-in-law's bachelor party. I of course have to pack the 8 weight and hit the water to some degree while I'm there. Only one other guy in the group fly fishes at all, and I'm not sure he will want to spend any of his time fishing vs. partying & drinking. I'm not necessarily looking to spend $500+ on an inshore/offshore boat for the day, so was hoping for something fairly easily accessible. We are staying on the Pacific Coast side, the place is called Jaco Beach. I also will not have a car, so that even further limits my options. But all of that said, does anyone have any experience or advice for a shoestring budget or DIY adventure? I only really have 1 day to fish, so trying to make it count. I did see Brad's post from a few years ago - would love to chase sails but the money and time are two commodities I don't have this time around. So any and all input is welcome!Thanks in advance - stay fly!-Kevin
