Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The new combination of Captain Carlos and Mate Fico on the Explorer has already been impressive. Though new to this boat, both these men have fished in Garza for their whole lives with a combined 20+ years of pro fishing experience.
These Lone Star anglers enjoyed the fruits of that experience with three awesome Sailfish releases on just a five hour trip.
Excellent work from the new crew of the baddest panga you’ve ever seen: the fearless Explorer!
Jake Winchester has made himself a regular with the FishingNosara team with a half-dozen trips run in the last year. After a whole bunch of Extreme Panga Fishing he stepped up to the 31-foot Wanderer for his May 7 trip.
They tackled some tough Sailfish and notched the scorecard with two nice releases. This was the first time deep sea fishing for Tiffiney Walls from Enid, Oklahoma, but she fought this Sailfish like an old pro.
A special welcome awaited their return to Garza: this majestic Balena (‘whale’ in gringo) breeched the surface and slapped his tail, much to the delight of the clients.
Great fishing and great scenery on the big blue flagship Wanderer.
On May 7 the Explorer scored big with several Sailfish released.
With Captain David now on the 31′ Discoverer and Captain Carlos (now the Explorer‘s full time captain) welcoming his new baby home, Mate Fico and Mate Kevin were on board splitting the duties at the helm and in the cockpit.
We are proud to report that there was no drop off on the scorecard, and the Super panga did what she does: release billfish and deliver big smiles for her clients.
FishingNosara Hall of Famer and worldwide bow-hunting phenom TJ Conrads was on the Wanderer for a fantastic Double Sailfish release.
The day was otherwise a little slow, but this furious fifteen-minute fight is certainly a day’s worth of work.
Nice job by the Wanderer on these releases.
The Discoverer is not wasting time in building her rep as a billfish bandit…Seth Moore and his posse visited the blue water battleship and Captain David put them on a big bite of bad Sailfish.
These four releases reveal the power of the new 31-foot fish fighting weapon and also reveals the skills of the new crew.
Great job all around!
Seth Moore’s party really lit it up on the Discoverer on May 4 with a gaggle on Pacific Sailfish releases.
These guys have put in the time and are reaping the benefits. Each of these Sailfish are true monsters with the smallest one still estimated over 100lbs.
Great work by Captain David to dial-in our new fishing-fighting weapon the Discoverer.
Seth Moore and the boys stayed on the action on May 4 with multiple Sailfish releases and some great simultaneous hook-ups.
First Mate Alex had his work cut out for him handling these super Sails, yet all were safe released like usual.
Great work by Captain William to keep his clients on the bite throughout the week.
Captain David hit the ground running with the Discoverer, as we welcomed Jeff Vancini for some blue water billfishing on May 2.
We told you that the sightlines on the new Discoverer would yield some great never-before-seen angles, and these pictures tell the tale.
Amazing how much more detailed the fish is once you get 15 feet off the deck.
Great work by Jeff Vancini and the unstoppable Captain David!
Another fantastic Sailfish released by Fico on the Adventurer:
Big fish must feel pretty embarrassed when they get bested by a 23-foot boat, but Fico is a true disciple of Extreme Panga Fishing and once again beat a blue water beastie!
Big catch on the Wanderer for Peter Sohlden’s crew. These guys put in the time this week with a full scorecard of Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Cubera Snapper. Only one thing was missing…
BOOM! Big Black Marlin on the mighty Wanderer!
They also added another Sailfish release to their haul to finish out a great week of fishing in Costa Rica.
