Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Richard and Jean Prowant scored big again with Captain David on March 22, this time notching the scorecard with two nice Sailfish releases.
They also replenished the food supply with nice 30+lbs. Dorado.
Good times and good eatin’ on the legendary Explorer.
Ed Showalter’s group mixed up their fishing all week, and on March 21 their time on the Explorer brought a pair of sweet Sailfish releases.
Richard and Jean Prowant found out just how effective Super panga fishing can be on March 18 with Captain David and Mate Kevin. These Moorehaven, FL-based anglers strutted their stuff with four Sailfish releases.
Also they scored two nice eating fish: a nice sized Wahoo early in the trip and a beefy Dorado on the back end.
This is the first of three scheduled trips on the Explorer for Richard and Jean…look out for more great action from these Floridians.
Jennifer and Shannon Gonzalez torched the blue water creatures with Captain David on the Explorer on March 17.
The Sailfish have been thick recently and the Super Panga capitalized with several super releases.
The only thing that interrupted the Sailifsh swarm was this gargantuan Wahoo:
That is a legitimate deck sweeper!
These tough anglers kept the pedal to the metal with more Sailfish releases to finish off the trip.
Excellent performance by Captain David and Mate Kevin on the legendary Explorer.
FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dewey Gile returned to the scene of his commemoration: the legendary Explorer with Captain David at the helm!
A few years ago Dewey scored the first ever Marlin release for the then-new Super panga, and on his return visit he notched eight Sailfish releases!
The highlight came in the afternoon with this Double release…great work by Captain Carlos (on loan from the Adventurer) to safely coordinate this battle and release.
Dewey kept count of his Sails all day long; you think he is lobbying for a second slot in the Hall of Fame?
He bolstered his Sailfish releases with a nice Wahoo for the dinner table.
Excellent work by Captain David and the unstoppable Explorer.
The Explorer pulled off a sensational Double Sailfish release with client Bill Kelly on a morning half day. Check out these amazing shots captured by Captain David:
Andrew Tom had a great day on the Explorer punctuated by this glorious Sailfish release:
Great fish handling by Mate Kevin as usual, but how about Captain David balancing on the Super Panga’s motor to get these shots…a great fisherman and an acrobat!
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!
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.
