Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
John Havins and his group from Houston booked Captain William and the Wanderer for an afternoon half day on March 15. He’s staying with our buddy Jeff over at Namaste Oasis so it was natural that he would have a great day on the flagship.
The knocked out a pair of 15lbs. Groupers and added some big Jack Crevalles for good measure. The Grouper bite has turned into a staple and we hope these tasty critters stick around for the rest of the season.
Tony Spencer and his group had a fantastically productive 2.5 hour trip on the Explorer, boating 4 Grouper weighing between 20lbs. and 50lbs.
Amazing work by Captain David and mate Carlos! These Red Grouper are still around and that means big smiles and big filets.
Our old friend George Shipley returned to the blue waters of Garza hoping for a repeat of his excellent performance on the Explorer back in February 2011. With his young son in tow, Mr. Shipley opted for the more spacious Wanderer and once again he was face-to-face with a mighty pacific billfish.
This Pacific Sailfish weighs about 135lbs. and is a wonderful example of the beasts that lurk just a few miles off of our shores. Great work by the crew to ensure the safe release of this majestic beast.
Matthew Malley was on the Nice n’ Tight with Captain Eduardo and they caught 4 groupers over 10-15lbs. Great results for just a morning 2.5hrs. trip by the fish-catching Captain Eduardo.
Our great friend Jay Thompson brought his wife and kids down to Nosara for a little fishing and relaxation. Check out this excellent catch from a sunset cruise on the Explorer:
Hill Danforth came to the Wanderer looking to get on some early morning offshore action, and the mighty blue beauty delivered this amazing Sailfish at just after 9am
Great action early in the morning for the fish catching Wanderer!
Check out El Jefe on the air of the famous La Buena Pescas Programa de Radio on the morning of March 10, 2012.
Javier tells Captain Atanes about our recent nice catches and his upcoming trip to Nosara. Take a listen:
Thanks to Captain Sergio Atanes and the whole team at ReelFishy.com!
Lots of Groupers today on the Wanderer. A group of yogis took a 2.5 hour morning trip on the flagship and caught 4 Red Groupers each weighing over 15lbs.
On an afternoon 2.5 hour trip client Patrick and his group caught another pair of Red Grouper weighing about 12lbs. each.
Nice fishing on a day where the green water and full moon might scare away less adaptable fisherman…Captain William delivers another memorable performance despite some long odds.
Captain David kept the Explorer inshore today with client Brandon Perez and his wife. They enjoyed lots of rod-bendin’ action highlighted by a big Yellowtail Snapper and a nice Jack Crevalle.
They added a small White Tuna later on and had a big Rooster fish hooked to a topwater plug, but lost him. Excellent catches though from these South Florida anglers.
Another fantastic trip for Captain David on the Explorer. These clients are just the latest to go home with fat tasty Red Grouper filets. We’ve had lots of great reports on this species which is usually quite rare. Take a look at these monsters:
While passing time between trips, Mate Carlos chopped up some old ballyhoos and fed them to his pet Rooster fish. Carlos has been feeding this fella for years going back to his days as a mate on the Sportsman and has never set the hook into it.
It is a real treat to watch this majestic creature so close to the boat, so if you have a few minutes to spare before your next trip on the Explorer then make sure to ask to meet Carlos’ pet Rooster Fish.
