Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Check out El Jefe himself getting on the air of the famous La Buena Pescas Programa de Radio today.
Captain Atanes is the host of this show out of the Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater region and the show has defined itself as the preeminent Spanish-language fishing broadcast in the whole state.
Take a listen to his fishing report from Nosara, CR:
Thanks to Captain Sergio Atanes and the whole team at ReelFishy.com!
In other action around Garza, Captain Eduardo on the Nice n’ Tight brought in and released this nice Rooster Fish on December 9th.
Great work Captain Eduardo and the Nice n’ Tight.
Amazing catch from the Nosara River! This monsterous snook was caught by a local Nosara man on spinning tackle. The IGFA World Record for this fish is 57 lb 12 oz lbs. and was caught way back in 1991 in Quepos, Costa Rica.
I think it is fair to say that record is shattered, and the new title belongs to Nosara!
We’ll have more details about the angler and this amazing fish as they surface. Until then send this pic around to your buddies who think that a giant Snook is a 20 pounder; then get your passport together and get the heck on down here!
We even managed to tick off the Coasties in the neighboring booth by playing AC/DC too loud, so that’s good too.
Legendary day for client Matt Bleach and his wife on the Explorer! Captain David and Mate Pipio chased the blue water break a few miles offshore and found a school of lovely Dorados that ate like they haven’t been fed in a month. By the end of the day they had caught twenty Dorados!
They also had two nice Jack Crevalles and a Bonita, but lost a really big Dorado. Clearly the greenies are here in numbers because Pipio sighted a jumping Black Marlin about half a mile behind the spread…obviously the bite is on and will continue to be for quite some time.
Meanwhile on the Wanderer client Jeff and his friends caught five Bonitas on a 2.5 hr inshore session; not great results but it’s good to keep the rods bending even if only for Bonitas.
Nice action on the Explorer today with a group of clients signing up Captain David for a half-day of fishing off Garza. They had a nice Dorado early in the day and then backed that up with an evening Amberjack weighing around 30lbs.
Excellent results for the dinner table by the 26′ Super Panga. No matter what’s happening offshore the Explorer always catches inshore species, keeping the clients smiling and the fishbox full.
The Dorado bite stayed active on December 4 when client Leslie Schwan and her group had four BIG Dorado and ended up putting two of them in the fishbox. More than enough filets to go around for these fortunate anglers.
Wow, that’s no camera trick…that fish really is taller than mate Carlos. Excellent work by Leslie Schwan and her group!
Lots of great action today as both the Wanderer and Explorer both have excellent trips to report.
Derek and Cynthia Bowker come to Nosara from the tiny town of Joesph, Oregon but this husband and wife team caught a trio of MASSIVE Sailfish in Costa Rica that should have the whole town talking.
The first one slammed the outrigger bait and Captain William was quick on the draw to snap this excellent photo:
First Mate Alex brought the monster in close and executed a perfect release.
It’s hunting buddy wasn’t far behind and torpedoed down the center exhaust alley munching baits the whole way. Alex expertly presented a naked ballyhoo rig and Sailfish number two hooked up within 25 feet of the transom.
Captain William followed some dolphins around looking for meat fish and although the Wanderer shot at a 30lbs. Tuna and a mysteriously huge Dorado, the fishbox stayed clean this time.
However the day was saved by a late Sailfish release, the third of the day. Fantastic fishing from the Oregon-based Team Bowker!
The famous Wanderer was back in action today with walk-up client Fred and his pal enlisting the blue beauty for a half-day of offshore trolling. The nice blue water was only a few miles out and the action was intense.
They missed on a few chances at Sailfish but managed to pile the fishbox high with some nice Dorado. Excellent work by Captain William and First Mate Alex on another productive trip.
On the morning of November 28 we received a report of five White Tunas and and some Bonitas from client Jeff Sampson from Colorado. Jeff has fished in a couple of times in Nosara before, but this was his first trip with Captain William on the famous Wanderer.
After the inshore harvest, they decided to go offshore and hunt billfish.
They had a few nice Sailfish in the spread throughout the day and released 3 of the beautiful behemoths before returning to Garza.
Great work by Mr. Sampson in displaying the patience and perseverance required for great billfish success…third trip is a charm!
