Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Craig and Matty took a break from boat work to go fish-hunting on the Wanderer, and while they took turns missing Sailfish and losing Cuberas, Nosara Paradise Rentals Chief Mechanic Senior Marino scored this sweet Dorado.
Nice work Marino! At least someone around here knows how to fish.
Our great friend Brooke Sheilds is in town and brought her son Oliver and sister-in-law Maria Yetty for an inshore fishing adventure on the Wanderer, and they scored an excellent Cubera Snapper:
Great work by young Oliver who has been fishing with us for several years…he has grown into a top-notch fisherman and we always look forward to his visits.
August 30 was getaway day for Bill Harris and the posse, and they rounded out their trip with an excellent outing to Sailfish City.
After an early pair of Sailfish releases, Captain William discovered a big school of porpoises on the feed…guess what they were feasting on?
That’s right: Beefy Yellowfin Tunas taste good to all mammals, both primates and cetaceans.
All these feeder fish attracted a few more Sailfish, which Team Harris released with glee.
Great work by this class of Hall of Famers on an excellent week of fishing.
Team Harris had another outstanding day on the flagship Wanderer with a chocked-full scorecard of Sailfish. They got a pre-dawn start as Captain William put them out in front of a swarm of beautiful Sails:
These fish were fired up but this group of Tampa, FL anglers put the heat on them with stiff drag and fast reeling.
Great releases all around as the Wanderer continues to set the bar for great Costa Rican sportfishing.
Returning Hall of Famers Bill Harris, Brady Harris and Elie Bedran are back and they brought fellow anglers Scott Cox, Mark Scott and his dad Lee Scott along for this Costa Rica Fishing adventurer.
The mighty Wanderer was the chosen vessel as Captain William set out for Sailfish City.
First Mate Alex put out an irresistible spread that courted five Sailfish releases.
ย I meant ‘irresistible’ to Sailfish, buddy.
“Craig, wow what a fantastic day. 5 sails, 2 mahi.” Mark writes. “Great day, action was great plus 5 strikes and 2 billfish up on the teasers.
Dude what a day, I got to see my dad at 70 get to reel in his first billfish..priceless.”
“Thanks for giving us this opportunity.”
This group of Tampa Bay anglers also scored a couple of nice Dorados, highlighted by this deck sweeper:
These guys have two more full days of action planned and we are all stoked to see what they haul in next.
Want to talk about a perfect day of trophy fishing? Howabout a pair of BIG Rooster Fish releases in the morning, then a GIANT Black Marlin in the afternoon?
The mighty Wanderer accomplished this ludicrous feat in late August, leaving the clients equally ecstatic and exhausted.
This beefy pair of Rooster fish would satisfy the most demanding anglers, but these boys headed offshore after the releases and found a true monster lurking offshore.
Great fishing handling and boat handling by the blue beauty’s magnificent crew led to another textbook Black Marlin release.
The Wanderer has continued her hot streak with yet another great Sailfish release.
Check on the girth on this monster:
All in a day’s work for the baddest boat in Garza!
Charlie Phillips’ posse saved the best for last, as on their final day of fishing on the Wanderer they scored a DOUBLE MASSIVE Marlin release.
We have some great video of this beast so look out for the full account on the next FishingNosara DVD due out this month.
The crew also added to their pile of filets…after a great day inshore on the 14th, they caught a whole bunch of filets to take home on the 15th.
Charlie Phillips stayed inshore today and knocked a big Rooster Fish off of his bucket list.
This catch as been a long time coming for this Everglades angler, and we are stoked to see this accomplishment.
The group also added tasty filets for the dinner table in the form of three nice Snappers and a pile of Yellowfin Tuna.
Looking good in the ice box and on the dinner plate!
The Wanderer is closing in on the final bell of the season like a thoroughbred and clients like Charlie Phillips’ group are feeling pumped to be along for the ride.
On August 13 scored two more wonderful Sailfish release for this Florida-based fishing posse.
For Kim Ponzio, this was her first ever billfish release and she fought it well all the way to the boat.
Great releases by First Mate Alex underscored Captain William’s keen hunting instincts as once again the flagship delivers the goods!
