Daily Fishing Updates | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

May 7, 2014

Our new friend Jon Athan is a hardcore surfer who has recently discovered Super Panga fishing, and in the last month he has been wearing out the reefs on board the Adventurer.

This Queen Snapper is a very rare catch for our area and the crew tells me that these are some of the best tasting fish in the ocean!

Mate Fico has kept Jon right on top of the bite and his catches got better and better over his three trips this month.

Great work by the new helmsman of the Adventurer and our new friend Jon Athan.

On May 7 the Explorer scored big with several Sailfish released.

With Captain David now on the 31′ Discoverer and Captain Carlos (now the Explorer‘s full time captain) welcoming his new baby home, Mate Fico and Mate Kevin were on board splitting the duties at the helm and in the cockpit.

We are proud to report that there was no drop off on the scorecard, and the Super panga did what she does: release billfish and deliver big smiles for her clients.

The hits keep on coming for the plucky Adventurer. Mate Fico took this couple out for a half day and they scored this brilliantly colored Amberjack. Check it out:

Who says you need a big boat to get big fish?

That is a very rare catch for our area and the crew tells me that these are some of the best tasting fish in the ocean. Truly this is a testament to the fish-finding power of the the Adventurer.

The Adventurer has seen some great action this month, but we always want to pay special attention to the catches recorded by our young anglers.

This father-son sunset trip on May 3 yielded some nice White Tuna catches (above), and the next day another youngster grabbed himself a sandwich-sized Dorado:

Great work by Fico and the family-friendly Adventurer.

FishingNosara Hall of Famer and worldwide bow-hunting phenom TJ Conrads was on the Wanderer for a fantastic Double Sailfish release.

The day was otherwise a little slow, but this furious fifteen-minute fight is certainly a day’s worth of work.

Nice job by the Wanderer on these releases.

With the big Captain’s shuffle going on around the team, don’t forget that the 23-foot pocket knife Adventurer will now be the proving platform for our up-and-coming Mates to proves their prowess.

Check out these nice Snappers pulled off the bottom with Mate Fico at the tiller of the Adventurer:

Great work!

The Discoverer is not wasting time in building her rep as a billfish bandit…Seth Moore and his posse visited the blue water battleship and Captain David put them on a big bite of bad Sailfish.

These four releases reveal the power of the new 31-foot fish fighting weapon and also reveals the skills of the new crew.

Great job all around!

Seth Moore’s party really lit it up on the Discoverer on May 4 with a gaggle on Pacific Sailfish releases.

These guys have put in the time and are reaping the benefits. Each of these Sailfish are true monsters with the smallest one still estimated over 100lbs.
