Daily Fishing Updates | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

August 26, 2013

While most of the staff celebrated the end of the season on the Wanderer, the mighty tandem of Alejandro and Grevan of Nosara Paradise Rentals put on a billfish catching display on the Explorer that will not soon be forgotten.

They started out with a pair of nice Sailfish releases, then Alejandro closed out the season with an awesome Blue Marlin release:

With two months of maintenance looming on the horizon, it’s nice to make sure that the billfish don’t get lonely while our boats are on the hill. We’ll be back soon!

Captain William was joined by Javier and Marino of Nosara Paradise Rentals for and end-of-year Yellowfin Tuna harvest. As we bring this epic season to a close, it’s super important to remember that the most important element of FishingNosara are the people.

A close second are the fish! Check out the girth on this, the largest of the 5 Yellowfin caught today:

Jim Dodich returned to the Explorer for an extra day of fishing and this time scored a nice Big Black Marlin! Look at the shoulders on this monster:

Later they released an additional Pacific Sailfish.

Great work by the unstoppable super panga!

The Marlin Magic of August returned again this year and the last month of the season was also the most productive.

Craig Sutton was joined by Arturo and Alejandro of Nosara Paradise Rentals for a day offshore on the mighty Wanderer and they posted the second Grand Slam of the Week: 2 Blue Marlin, 1 Black Marlin, and a Pacific Sailfish!

The Sailfish was first in the boat as Alejandro flexed his fishing muscles.

Around 11am two lines popped off and the Wanderer strapped in for a double Marlin battle.

Craig took hold of the Black Marlin while Arturo, Alejandro, and Alex combined to fight the Blue Marlin.

Both fish were released safely and the Grand Slam was completed! As a curtain call Craig brought in another Blue Marlin later in the day.

To quote Alejandro: “Un Increíble Día de Pesca!!!!!”

Jim and Emile Benvegna started their final day of fishing with Captain David on a great note: another Big Black Marlin!

They followed up with a nice Sailfish:

Then these Florida anglers caught two of the nicest Dorado of the season on the Explorer. This pair of bulls are MASSIVE!

These man-sized Mahi Mahi justified the Benvegnas purchase of two FishingNosara coolers to take the filets home…one wasn’t nearly enough!

Also Emilie added a tasty 15+lbs. Wahoo to add variety to the menu.

Great follow up to their awesome Marlin and Sailfish action from earlier in the week, all on the legendary Explorer!

Owen West and his boys caught the fish of a lifetime on the famous Wanderer on August 20. Check out this beauty:

Of course this sweet fish was released after the photo. Great fish handling by the Wanderer‘s unparallelled crew of Captain William and First Mate Alex.
