FISHING EQUIPMENT

C + H Lures are the #1 choice for FishingNosara Captains and crews. We utilize this Jacksonville, FL-based tackle manufacturer’s entire product line.

Penn Reels telltale gold housings gleam from the rodholders on each FishingNosara vessel. From brand-new 760 Spinners to vintage 80W Senators, Penn keeps the lines tight for our trips.

Shimano Reels are also in our arsenal. We’ve had tons of success with old TLD 30′s, and recently we took delivery of a few LRS Tiagra Reels. Their durability and craftsmanship maintain the high standards that Shimano has established across their product lines.

Rapala lures are an essential part of our inshore fishing tactics. The wide lip and bright colors make their tackle irresistible to the reef dwellers. Also, Rapala is the world leader in home fishing entertainment (read: Video Games) and are essential in worldwide conservation efforts.

Yamaha Motors are reliable and powerful, the end result of a few hundred years of engineering excellence. Yamaha Techs have endeared themselves to us by traveling to Costa Rica to oversee the installation and final rigging of their products.

Williamson Lures makes the Jet Popper (‘El Popper’ in local slang), and we use the heck out of them. We also uses their squids for teasers, but seriously…fish Jet Poppers. Period.

Costa Del Mar sunglasses are also a staple for our crews. You won’t see a FishingNosara Captain or crewman without the trademark ‘C’ on his temples. Our tackle shop, the Sportfishing Center of Guiones Beach is an official retailer for Costa Del Mar.

Blue Water Towers is our sole provider for stainless steel towers and rod holders on the Wanderer and the Explorer. Their work is top-notch and customer service is perfect. They should be your first choice for custom stainless marine towers.

Whitewater Boat Corp is South Florida’s best spot for custom marine construction. On the Wanderer they completely converted an inboard cruiser to and outboard bruiser by adding a sturdy transom, removing the doghouse and replacing it with a bulletproof fiberglass floor. They are always up for a challenge and can make your wildest customization dreams a reality.

MEDIA

Costa Rica’s Tico Times Directory. The Tico Times is the preeminent English-language newspaper in Costa Rica. A great read for travelers or those planning a trip to Costa Rica. This online directory is a great place to start your research.

Surf forecasting has become a lot easier for us now that our buddy set up a blog called DaBuh’s Surf Forcast. His takes on surf issues are a great read and his forecasts are spot on with accompanying charts, graphs, and historical data to deliver great surf reports.

Hook the Future is a internationally syndicated fishing program focused on providing world-class angling experience for young people around the world. Captain Don Dingman is the host of the program and has already filmed two episodes with FishingNosara, including the much-loved Mangrove River fishing episode which (to quote Mrs. Dingman) is “the best episode of Hook the Future”. Look for two more episodes from Capt. Dingman in 2011.

Inside Sportfishing is America’s leader in Sport Fishing television and filmed several episode with FishingNosara in August 2010. These episodes begin airing in January 2011. Inside Sportfishing is cable television’s most watched fishing show and has recently joined forces with Shea McIntee and Sam August of Endless Fun Productions to take this show to the next level of adventure tourism.

The Outdoors Show is a radio/TV enterprise based in Northeast Florida. Hosts Kevin and Carrie Faver have been guests of FishingNosara multiple times and was the first major TV show to expose the beauty of our little slice of paradise to the world. Our fishing updates on Kevin’s weekly radio show keep us in touch with this awesome organization.

Voz De Nosara is the local newspaper serving readership in Nosara, Garza, Samara, Esperanza, Nicoya and beyond. Co-Editor Emiliana Garcia is our next door neighbor in Guiones Beach (she politely tolerates our early-morning ruckus) and is a darned-fine investigative journalist.

Her passion for the truth helped expose both the barely-legal fishing practices of offshore purse seine vessels and the exaggerated reporting of said incident by the larger news agencies in the country. Not motivated by sensationalism or spectacle, the Voz de Nosara is the most trusted source on hard-hitting issues relating to the environment, education, poverty, and public affairs.

Florida Sportsman is our favorite fishing magazine and many contributors are close friends to FishingNosara. In addition to putting out a fantastic monthly edition, they host one of the deepest and most interesting forums on the web related to all things fishing.

Void the Magazine is a new publication originating from Jacksonville Beach, FL and has already made a big impact in the local skate, surf, music, and fishing scenes. Full color on every page and packed with juicy intel on the local scene, Void the Magazine will surely continue to be a staple of Jax Beach.
