Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Multi-time FishingNosara Hall of Famers Ken and Brenda Russell are back! Joined by their usual motley crew of Texas anglers including Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan, this good-vibes group threw down the gauntlet on their first day of fishing on the Wanderer.
After some early Sailfish action, Brenda shot to the top of the scoreboard with this MASSIVE Blue Marlin release:
Hold on to your hats folks…Team Russell will be here for two weeks and you know that they are ready for battle!
Captain Alex kept the Harvester inshore on the 19th. Chris and Charlotte Keane followed up their brilliant offshore success with some very unique catches.
This Congrio is always a fun catch; this fish/eel hybrid yields a white lobster-like meat that is second to none. Also it provides a unique fight as it is one of the few sea creatures that can swim backwards.
The rest of the day was dominated by Red Groupers, excellent for sandwiches and a bunch of fun to catch.
The Wanderer and angler Steve Putbrese put on a show on March 18 with multiple excellent Sailfish releases backed-up with some tasty Dorado for the dinner table.
The Dorados came in bunches with some double hook-ups.
Herb and Sally Pittman joined up with Captain Fico for an afternoon of inshore action on March 18.
The early bite consisted of Dorado and Jack Crevelle, and then Sally finished it off with a nice Cubera Snapper.
It’s easy to work up a hunger while catching big fish, but don’t spoil your Snapper dinner!
John Muesse was staying a few hours north of us in Tamarindo, but he was wise enough to make a day trip to where the fishing is best…straight to Nosara!
The Harvester reports several sweet Sailfish release for this fun-loving group.
Great work by the mega panga and Captain Alex!
Donna Finley’s group got their week of fishing of to a nice start with a super Sailfish release on the Wanderer during their March 17th trip.
Captain David and the indomitable Adventurer continue to fish hard during the month of March. On the 17th he kept the rods bent with these nice Jack Crevelles.
Ceviche, anyone?
Chris and Charlotte Keane joined the Harvester on March 17 and just five hours of fishing loaded up on a lifetime’s worth of great catches.
These high-flying Sailfish came in hot and heavy, but the mega panga was up for the challenge.
All of these Sailfish were safely released as usual.
They didn’t go home empty-handed, thanks to this excellent Dorado on deck.
Chis and Charlotte Keane celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a full day of action on the mega panga Harvester.
Captain Alex reports steady bites from Sailfish as the season continues to heat up.
Amazing above-the-water acrobatics from this awesome animal!
This trip also featured a big two-handed Dorado for the dinner table:
Great work by Captain Alex and the mega panga!
The Discoverer set a new high mark for the season on March 16 with NINE Sailfish releases.
Jason Canin and his group were the beneficiaries of this white-hot bite.
The clear highlight was this Double Sailfish release, a truly challenging feat by Team Canin.
