Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Scott Brownlee and his buddy Gene DiBetta took a whirlwind trip to Nosara where they fished three trips in three days…that’s Florida anglers for ya!
The Discoverer reports lots of great catches for this duo.
What’s even better is that these guys planned this trip four days before they arrived…when the fishing itch hits, you gotta scratch!
The Wanderer stayed close to shore on January 7 as client Randy Covey only had to travel 6 miles to score several Dorados and Sailfish.
Randy scored the first release at the beginning of the full day trip, breaking the ice for what would become a three Sailfish day.
This late day Dorado put the finishing touch on a great day on the water.

The Wanderer stayed inshore on January 7 and scored this mammoth Rooster Fish.
Great fish handling by First Mate Alex to see this beauty safely released.
Randy Covey got some super Sailfish action on his first of three days fishing with the Wanderer.
Always great to break the billfish ice early on, and this pair of releases does the trick.
Jon Calderaro and his friends signed up for an afternoon half day with Captain William and they got a ton of fishing crammed into their 5 hour trip.
The ladies led off with a pair of nice Sailfish releases plus they snagged this little Bonita:
The boys answered the girls’ challenge with a Double Sailfish release:
Notice how the angler on the port side is still fighting his fish during the photo and release. Handling multiple fish and multiple fights simultaneously is what really separates First Mate Alex as a master of billfishing.
When you get such good action late in the day, it is tempting to squeeze all you can out of the daylight, and when you have a full moon rising you can push it even further.
The Discoverer has kept cooking with gas in the New Year with a fantastic run on Sailfish.
Captain David and Mate Juan Carlos have found their billfishing rhythm and are posting double-digit release numbers.
Also they have scored some excellent meat fish, from the usual Dorado to the rare-for-this-time-of-year Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by the battleship!
Great day for Captain William and the flagship Wandererย with three Sailfish releases in the books along with a nice Dorado on ice.
Sweet Sail little man!
Safe releases for the billfish by First Mate Alex. Great work by the big blue beauty!
Captain Carlos has continued to score big for his clients in 2015. He started the year off with this fantastic Double Sailfish Release:
Naturally, both fish were released but you can’t say the same for these beefy Dorados that have been filling our clients’ fishboxes:
Big Dorado have been a constant with several reports of full fishboxes of fresh filets.
Also, it is nice to White Tuna showing up on the scorecard again; these fellas have been a little scarce since the Dorado came close to shore. These 10-15lbs. White Tunas are the perfect size for tasty filets and sushi.
Of course the barroom brawler also picked a fight with some stunning Sailfish recently; check out the fight on this monster.
A safe release by Mate Kevin is the perfect send-off to this excellent fishing triumph.
New Year, Same Results for Captain William and the mighty Wanderer!
Thomas Palmer and his family signed up for a half day trip and got waaaayyy more than they bargained for from the flagship.
The Wanderer reports multiple Sailfish releases punctuated by a Double Sailfish release:
This fun fishing family also mopped up some 20-25lbs. Dorados for the dinner table.
Great start to 2015 by the fearsome flagship!
Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin started the new year with a splash as they scored seven Sailfish releases on just a 5 hour trip!
You don’t get these kind of numbers without a few Double Sailfish releases thrown in:
Throw in this 30lbs. Dorado and you have one marked-up scorecard:
Amazing action from the barroom brawler!
