Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The Explorer posted a very contradictory scorecard on January 16; on one hand they caught two memorable fish but on the other hand both had to be released.
We’ve put a self-imposed restriction on these big Cubera Snappers. When they are this big we chose to release them for the health of the fishery.
Big or small, we want nothing to do with this Shark:
Still a great day of rod-bending fun on the barroom brawler Explorer.
Tampa angler John Harbord has returned to Nosara after 8 long years. He was enshrined in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame on the strength of our first ever Billfish Grand Slam:
This is back when we used to take the fish out of the water, a practice we abandoned in 2014 to ensure billfish safety.
They reunited with Captain Alex on the 15th and got right back to business with multiple Sailfish releases.
Dinner is on deck due to whopper Wahoos.
Amazing catches by the People’s Champion Harvester.
Kaitlyn Rene joined Captain David on the 23-foot Adventurer and they boated a monster Dorado.
Hard to fit this beast in the photo! Amazing work by the panga.
Look at this awesome Sailfish action from January 14; angler Mark Funk released this beauty along with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
Captain William and the flagship Wanderer joined forces with Dom D’Agostino for a productive 6.5 hour trip on January 11. A beautiful Sailfish release was a very memorable catch.
They also brought home the bacon with this tasty Dorado. Excellent work!
Rick Kennedy and his group had a productive trip with Captain Carlos on January 11. The highlight was this sweet Sailfish release:
They backed that up with a floor-sweeping Dorado. Great work by the big battleship Discoverer.
On January 9 the Harvester delivered a true fish of a lifetime for the Boriack family. Check out this monster Marlin:
Captain Alex welcomed angler Stephen Boriack on January 7 and they went to battle with Sailfish.
Great work on the safe handling and release of these majestic creatures.
The Wanderer and angler David Burns nagged a nice collection of Yellowfin Tunas on January 7.
Cody Jones’ group put the finishing touches on his week of fishing with a gaggle of Sailfish releases on January 7.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the big battleship Discoverer.
