River Fishing Report – June 2014

Nice fish, Manuel…but I know we taught you how to take pictures a little better than this! Jajajaj


Javier and the boys from Fuppernos (Friends of the River) are on point keeping the area clean.

The seasonal rains rolling through the mountains makes all the refuse roll down to the river… thankfully the Fuppernos are on the job to protect this fragile community resource.

 

Also some big news for all friends of the Nosara River: after much lobbying and patience the government has recognized the Boca del Rio Nosara as a certified ‘Blue-Flag Zone’.

 

 

Symbolized by this new flag at the entrance, this means steep fines and possible imprisonment for nare-do-wells who dump toxins or other chemicals into the river.

This is a big step in the right direction and all the credit is due to Javier and the Fuppernos…these guys and girls understand that a clean river is vital to the future of the community and will now be protected for the next generation of river anglers:

The Odd Couples really got cooking on May 31. After a slow day of trolling offshore, these savvy Florida anglers chose to stay inshore where the fresh rain water helped stir up a nice array of bottom dwellers.

A pair of big Cuberra Snappers were the highlight of the trip until this beefy Rooster fish stole the spotlight:

After a safe release, the team got back to meat harvesting with a septuplet of sweet Yellowtail Snappers.

Take a look at the day’s haul:

Looks like the best fish market you’ve ever seen, courtesy of Captain William and the multi-faceted Wanderer.

The Discoverer took over two years to rebuild and refit, but it only took Matty twenty minutes to nab his first billfish on the new battleship.

Bridget also got in on the action with the smallest Sailfish release on record…think about the skills exhibited by Captain David on the pitch bait to force-feed a rigged ballyhoo down this tiny gullet.

All smiles on the big battleship Discoverer for Matt and Bridget!

We welcomed a big fun group of folks from our hometown of Jacksonville, FL and they scored some great inshore lunkers aboard the Wanderer.

Henry Starling, Rick Tullis, Richard Hosey, and Mike Glenn brought their families along for this inshore conquest and it is safe to say that all mouths were fed by these excellent Cubera Snappers.

They also added a pair of trophy releases in the form of these excellent Rooster Fish:

Great work by this posse of North Florida anglers!

Captain David has brought his decades of fish-finding skills to the new battleship, and the results have been immediate and astounding. On May 28 he locked up two big bad billfish for his clients.

Mate Kevin released this Sailfish at 10:30am (above) and scored a nice Blue Marlin just after 1pm.

The Discoverer has come out of the gate like a thoroughbred and we can’t wait to see more multiple Marlin mania from the battleship.

The resilient Wanderer scored this big Dorado with Steve Belew and his group on May 28th.

This catch represents the last fish that these old Star Rods will ever catch…Matty showed up today with a fresh shipment of our custom FishingNosara rods from Poseidon Fishing.

Lot of memories in these old sticks, but its time to put them in the museum where they belong.

Our new pal Tracy Anderson just finished up three back-to-back days of inshore action with a wide variety of tasty filets on ice.

The Adventurer hasn’t skipped a beat with Captain Fico at the helm, as proved by this nice Cubera Snapper.

Tracy followed up with a few smaller Snappers:

Plus a Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper…that’s a grand a haul!
