Guatape Fishing Seasons

Dry season

January

Peak season in the jungle — the Orinoco and Amazon rivers run low and clear, and peacock bass and payara feed aggressively. On the Pacific, offshore black marlin, sailfish and big yellowfin are at their best off Bahía Solano. Guatapé fishes well under sunny skies. A superb month nationwide.

Dry season

February

The jungle peacock bass and payara bite stays red-hot as dry season rolls on, and the Pacific offshore season for black marlin and sailfish peaks off Chocó. Calm Caribbean seas make Cartagena charters easy, and Guatapé's bass are active in clear weather.

Dry season

March

The Amazon and Orinoco are still prime before the rains, with strong peacock bass action in the lagoons. Pacific billfish ease slightly but tuna and dorado remain. Cartagena stays reliable on the Caribbean, and Guatapé fishes steadily. One of the last great months for the jungle.

Transition

April

The dry season winds down in the eastern jungle — the final window for low-water peacock bass and payara before the rivers rise. Pacific inshore roosterfish and cubera are strong, the Caribbean is calm, and Guatapé keeps producing bass year-round.

Wet season

May

Rains arrive across much of Colombia. The jungle rivers begin to swell and the Amazon season closes, but Nuquí on the Pacific is recommended now, with good inshore and offshore action. Guatapé and Cartagena fish on — a transition month to plan around the coasts.

Wet season

June

Coastal fishing leads. The Pacific off Chocó produces tuna, dorado and inshore roosterfish, and the Caribbean stays steady out of Cartagena. The eastern rivers are high and off-season. Guatapé's reservoir bass remain a dependable bet near Medellín.

Wet season

July

Humpback whales arrive on the Pacific (July–October), adding spectacle to offshore days off Bahía Solano, where tuna and billfish show. Caribbean charters run reliably from Cartagena. The jungle is in its wet, high-water lull — and Guatapé fishes year-round.

Wet season

August

Whale season continues on the Pacific and the offshore bite builds toward the autumn peak — marlin, sailfish and tuna. Cartagena's Caribbean fishing holds steady. Inland, it's still the rainy high-water lull for the jungle rivers, but Guatapé stays productive.

Wet season

September

The Pacific offshore season hits its second peak — billfish, dorado and tuna are abundant off Chocó, with whales still around early in the month. The Caribbean is solid out of Cartagena, and Guatapé's bass keep biting. A standout month for saltwater.

Wet season

October

Peak Pacific fishing continues with strong billfish and tuna, and the eastern jungle rivers begin to drop as the dry season nears — early peacock bass trips start up. Caribbean and Guatapé fishing remain reliable. The country shifts back toward its inland prime.

Transition

November

A great all-rounder. Pacific offshore stays strong through November, the Amazon and Orinoco dry season opens for peacock bass and payara, and the Caribbean calms down. Guatapé fishes well. Options open up coast to jungle.

Dry season

December

Dry season returns inland and the jungle peacock bass and payara fishing fires up. Pacific billfish and big tuna build toward their January peak, and calm Caribbean seas make Cartagena easy. Guatapé is a festive, scenic day trip from Medellín. Strong everywhere.
