bluemoons has some good advice in their reply!
Nicaragua is an amazing destination for outdoor adventure and as bluemoons mentioned, there are many different habitats to fish. You should easily be able to find an exciting way to wet a hook no matter what your skill level.

Lots of people unfamiliar with the situation in Nicaragua (like KemoSabe) have painted a picture of doom and gloom that has kept would-be-travelers away for almost 2 years and destroyed the tourism economy. As a result, your dollars will have more buying power! Lodging will be readily available and you won't have to worry about crowds at bars, restaurants, or surf breaks.
The result of far fewer tourists, and greater competition for their business has, no doubt, created some tense situations. Crimes like vehicle burglaries and petty theft may have increased (per capita) but violent crimes against tourists is still rather uncommon.
The political unrest has forced the cancellation of the Flor de Cana tournament for the past two years, but the fish don't seem to know it.
I have had a few great reports from the north (Corinto & Aposentillo) but I don't know anyone in the southern half of the country who fishes regularly.
Just about any village on the coast has someone who will take you out & put you on fish, but without a few more details on what you're looking for, it's rather difficult to recommend something.
It really depends on your budget, your skill level, your time, and how well you speak Spanish.

Not the Flor de Cana, but there was a mahi tournament going on in SJDS while we were there. We convinced the gate guys that me and my shitty camera were shooting photos for a US fishing magazine, so they gave our group wristbands for the weigh-in. Didn't shoot too many photos and they definitely never made it into a magazine, but we really took advantage of the drink wristbands.
