Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Mr. and Mrs. John Rozas returned to the Explorer looking for a repeat of their success from last year. In March 2013 John nabbed a big Broomtail Grouper and together the released a nice Sailfish:
Notice how they seem a little apprehensive about handling this bucking billfish? They barely want to lay a finger on the mighty beast.
That was then, this is now:
Looks like John and Liz are trying out for a Mate position on the FishingNosara team!
Great work by this super couple!
David Rybas and his boys had a great morning half day trip on the Wanderer punctuated by some excellent Sailfish action.
The whole family was locked on this flying Sailfish, but young Mr. Rybas had the moves to bring this big Sailfish alongside.
Great release as always and another picture-perfect day on the Wanderer.
Captain David has blown down the walls of Sailfish City this season and the Super panga’s catch numbers are keeping pace with the bigger boats. His trip on March 13 with client Robert Wood featured five big Sailfish releases and a 50+lbs. Dorado on ice.
Mate Kevin is turning into a fish-handling machine; he brought these billfish in and out of the boat with the smooth skill of a Mate with twice his years.
Most amazing of all is that all this action came on just a 5 hour trip…who knows what could’ve gone down with a full eight hours?
Great work by Garza’s fastest rising stars: Captain David and Mate Kevin!
Matt Rich and his party joined the Super Panga for a half-day trip to the blue water, and immediately got the decks bloody with respectable 25lbs. Dorado.
With the appetizer on ice, the main course was served in the form of three big Sailfish releases.
Great work by Mate Kevin to wrangle these monsters for clean, safe releases.
Captain David is on top of his game and we can’t wait to see what surprises the Explorer has in store.
John and Liz Rozas have returned to Nosara and they are primed up for some big time action with their main man Captain David. These hard-fishing folk hail from New Jersey and they got the action going quick with some sweet Sailfish releases:
Captain David kept them in the thick of the action all day and Mate Kevin hooked these bad boys with great precision.
Check out the sweet fish handling by the Rozas on these Sailfish.
Jon Athan and his friends had a lovely 2.5 hour sunset cruise on the Wanderer on March 11.
In addition to the lovely scenery, they also scored a nice-sized Yellowtail Snapper. Pound-for-pound this is some of the best tasting fish in our area…great work by these young anglers.
On March 10 Drew Honeycutt and his crew followed up their great Sailfish action with a bit of inshore fishing to start their day on the Wanderer. They scored a real nice fish in the form of this 25lbs. Rooster fish.
Once this pez gallo was swimming free, Captain William took the boys back out to Sailfish City for another run at some high-flying action.
They released a pair of Sailfish, but they’ll never let go of these great trophy fish memories.
Awesome work by the mighty flagship!
The Wanderer was the classroom for a great bunch of kids getting their first lesson in the blue water marine ecosystem.
Captain William took this family for an up-close look at the inbound Sea Turtle migration to Ostinal.
Later in the evening this little dude scored a nice White Tuna.
Nice way to end the day for the hard-working flagship the Wanderer.
Great morning action for the flagship Wanderer! Check out this Double Sailfish release pulled off by the mighty flagship.
The added a solo Sailfish release later in the morning.
That’s a heckuva performance on just a 5hr. trip, but these kind of results have become the norm for the fantastic crew of the Wanderer.
Fantastic action for FishingNosara Hall of Famer George Shipley on the Explorer. Waaaaaaay back in February 2011 Mr. Shipley earned enshrinement with the first double billfish day in the history on the then-new Super Panga.
Looks like he remembered the formula!
This double release was the highlight of the day that also featured a three solo Sailfish releases:
Plus a real nice Wahoo:
Add a late-day Dorado and you have a feast for the Hall of Famer.
Excellent work by Captain David and Mate Kevin to deliver the goods for this awesome angler.
