Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

On January 2, Elliot Marer’s group had a fantastic day on the big battleship Discoverer.
A Big Marlin was hooked up but spit the hook. Better luck next time!
PRO TIP: When a billfish jumps, point the rod straight out towards the fish (“Bow to the Master”). This usually prevents the line from loosening.
By the end of trip, Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas were stacked up thick in the fishbox.
Christopher Fallenios found fish on the 31st with Captain Carlos on the big battleship Discoverer. This stack of Dorados will keep the whole family fed.
Multiple time FishingNosara angler Ian Jones returned for another trip on December 30 with the Discoverer reporting an awesome Sailfish release.
This time of year is known for Dorado catches, but nobody told Captain Carlos on the Discoverer. Check out these nice Yellowfin Tunas caught by Daniel Oberpriller and Drew Palmer.
Spencer Stoetzel’s second day of fishing on the Discoverer was fruitful, with a beefy Yellowfin Tuna backed-up with several nice Dorados.
Chris Romeo’s family scored multiple nice Dorados with the Discoverer on December 22.
They also mixed in a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for variety.
The Discoverer and Spencer Stoetzel’s group filled the filet bag with Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado filets.
The Discoverer delivered a Dorado on December 20 for the Pete Sniderman group.
After a great trip earlier in the month, Kimberly Curley returned to the Discoverer and scored more great Dorado filets.
On the Discoverer, Andrew Mendenhall’s family added to their stocked scorecard with another great Sailfish release.
Andrew and Richard also nabbed dinner with this Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna combo.
We received this note from Andy after the trip:
“Jill’s massive Dorado was an amazing fish in the midst of multiple billfish and other large dorado. Carlos and David, just like William and Elias are very skilled captains and crew. Remarkable humans, as well with close family and histories that go back generations.”
“We have had a truly amazing vacation, the first one for my father, sister and I- together in 35 years. All of the boat crews, the staff, Eduardo and family have all been amazing hosts. We are grateful!”
“We are definitely going to book a time in later March or April of ‘24 and will hopefully have a group of about 8-12 for lodging and fishing.”
“Jill will reach out to Bob and I know you are going to love to learn more about her vision and history of fishing in Minnesota!”
Best,
Andy
