Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The Wanderer is back in action and itching to ruin her new paint job with some fresh fish blood.
Client John Shellhorn did the deed with a dozen Dorados on ice!
Who say’s chickens can’t fly?
That newly painted floor looks good with this particular arrangement:
The next day they headed further off-shore and Captain William put them neck-deep in a billfish battle:
A safe release by First Mate Alex was icing on the cake for this blue water adventure.
Captain Carlos has continued to shine on the super panga Explorer this month.
On November 11 he led a trip to the inshore fish market for his clients and they filled the shopping cart with Dorado, Wahoo, and Queen Snappers:
Amazing all around catches for the Explorer left these clients with a wide variety of filets for the frigerator.
Captain David has gotten off to a fast start this season on the battleship Discoverer.
On November 9 he welcomed some clients from the nearby Tierra Magnifica for a trip to the Dorado-chocked waters 5 miles from shore.
This is just a sampling of the excellent Dorado catches for these clients, who ended up with 12 magnificent Mahi-Mahi on ice.
Great work by the Discoverer!
Troy and Christine Jones took to the Explorer for a fruitful harvest of sea life on November 4, scoring a nice Dorado backed-up by some tasty Snappers.
Excellent work by Captain Carlos and the baddest super panga on the planet!
The Discoverer kept the good times rollin’ with client Mike Arzewski. The big battleship reports several nice Dorados backed up by a few Jack Crevalles.
All good on the water for this experienced angler!
Road trip time for the Fuppernos (Friends of the River)!
Javier, Freddy, and the boys loaded up and headed east across the country to a little fishing camp on the Rio Colorado.
The highlight of the trip was this beefy Robalo (Snook) snared by Freddy Poloma:
Also it was great for the guys to try their techniques in a different fishery, plus there was ample opportunities for good bonding amongst the Fuppernos.
They returned home after a great long weekend on the east coast to find that torrential seasonal rains had washed a mountain of trash into the Rio Nosara.
As always Javier and the Fuppernos rallied the troops for a river clean-up to keep this resource in pristine condition.
Since then there has been excellent action at the river mouth. Check out this monster Snook hooked-up by local anglers Tanayo and Alonso Aragon:
Great action from the best kept fishing secret in Costa Rica, the Rio Nosara!
The Discoverer is back in action after an extended off-season of maintenance and repair. Captain David is stoked to be back on the water, while the fish population is not nearly as enthusiastic to see the battleship prowling the surface.
Client Nick Townsend snared the first fish of the season…check out this sweet Wahoo:
A great start to what we know will be a great season!
Another great trip on the Explorer on October 16 for clients Leann Lewis and Greg Shaddix.
They scored some sweet Dorados:
They rounded out their haul with this giant Rainbow Runner…seriously, these things never get this big!
Jacksonville’s own John ‘Porkchop’ Porcella knocked out a wide variety of sea life on board the Explorer, highlighted by this big Amberjack:
Later in the day they went offshore and roped a Double Sailfish release!
Excellent performance from Captain Carlos and the boat that doesn’t know the meaning of ‘off-season’!
Captain Carlos has the Explorer rocking-and-rolling this ‘off-season’ with another successful trip on October 10.
This Sailfish release was the highlight of the trip. Great release by Mate Kevin to assure we’ll see this beauty again later this season.
They didn’t leave empty handed, either; this tasty Yellowfin Tuna will yields some excellent filets for this growing lad. Nice catch!
