Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Dale Rehus scored the biggest Rooster Fish release of the season on August 14.
This is a no-doubter 100+lbs. fish. The IGFA all-tackle record is 51.71kg (114lbs.) and I think this one is in the conversation.
A nice Sailfish release also reflected nicely on the scorecard.
Great work by Captain Fico and the barroom brawler Explorer.
Jon Matula’s group kept up the good fishing with several nice Yellowfin Tuna scores on the Wanderer.
Big fish and big smiles…that’s what we’re all about!
The Discoverer and Paul Murry’s group filled the fishboxes with Dorados during their trip on August 14.
These tasty Dorados will certainly keep the group fed during their week.
Patrick and Jennifer Humphrey’s group joined Captain Alex for a full day on the Harvester, and these CCA FL anglers got all they could handle as the Sailfish came in swift and strong.
There were multiple hookups throughout the trip and lots of good fights.
Excellent work by the mega panga.
FishingNosara Hall of Famers Dan and Delaney Johnson returned to the mighty Wanderer for another trip to the blue water on August 13.
Delaney scored several nice Yellowfin Tunas, and then Dan belted up to battle a supreme Sailfish.
Great work as always by two of our favorite anglers.
Our old friend Jon Matula has returned to Nosara and is rolling about 14 deep. His group spread out across several boats on the 13th, and the group on the Discoverer posted some great Yellowfin Tuna catches.
These were backed up by a nice Dorado and a sweet Blue Marlin release.
Craig Sutton finished off a good week of fishing by taking advantage of the best bite of the year.
His five-hours on the Discoverer was highlighted by this nice Marlin release backed up with a sweet Sailfish.
David and Kevin Paredes joined Captain Alex on August 12 and continued their run of hot fishing both offshore and inshore.
This 34lbs. Rooster Fish release is a great addition to the trophy case, and was a harbinger of good things to come later in the day when they headed offshore.
The Harvester reports a 48lb. Yellowfin Tuna and two nice Dorados caught in the blue water offshore.
Alabama angler Hall Massey made history for the FishingNosara team by being the first person to catch a Sailfish on the fly.
We’ve attempted a bit of fly-fishing over the years, and this accomplishment was a long time coming.
Roll tide!
Patrick and Jennifer Humphrey and their group (Donald Gibbs, Dominic Miller, Brittany Marie) knocked the Yellowfin Tunas out of the park on August 11 with three monster catches.
The ladies got in on the action as well.
These monsters weighed in at 75lbs., 31lbs. and 25lbs.
Big smiles and big fish for this group of Florida-based anglers.
