Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

August 3, 2019

Captain Carlos welcomed Rickie Crews’ family for a great day of blue water action on August 3.

Big angry Sailfish were ready for a fight, and the battleship Discoverer was in the mood for a feud.

Great work by Rickie Crews and his group!

Captain William pulled double-duty on August 2. The morning 5 hour session featured this stunning Blue Marlin release by angler Scott Swanson.

High off of this amazing catch, the mighty Wanderer welcomed Martin Claurl’s family for a fun afternoon of rod-bending:

This group left the boat flush with Yellowfin Tuna filets, plus added this unusual Needlefish for the ceviche tray.

The end of the mighty flagship’s ten hour day was this send-off from a monster Whale (baleena en espanol). What a treat:

David Sohm added an extra half day to his Costa Rican fishing adventure by enlisting the Explorer for an inshore assault on August 2.

This monster Rooster fish was followed by a smaller variant; both safely released after the photos as always.

Not for releasing was this GIGANTIC Cubera Snapper:

Excellent fishing from the barroom brawler Explorer.

Tiffany Caouette’s family nagged a monster Cubera Snapper on August 2 with Captain David on the Adventurer.

What a great catch! Clearly it kept this group fed all week long:

David Sohm’s group performed wonderfully on the Discoverer in late July. The highlight was these super Sailfish releases.

Dan Christine and his group scored huge fish with Captain Alex on July 29. They started up with several nice-sized Yellowfin Tunas:

The real monster came later in the trip.

Anybody feel like lifting weights?

Let’s give Captain Alex and Mate Wilson a chance:

Great work by Dan Christine’s group, Captain Alex and the Harvester.

Rickie Crews started his week of fishing on July 29 with Captain Carlos on the Discoverer with this excellent Yellowfin Tuna:

This monster Yellowfin Tuna will keep this group fed all week long, especially with this second catch later in the trip.

Not bad for just a half day.

On July David Sohm and his family had a fun day on the flagship.

They nagged a Sailfish release for the scrapbook, then loaded up on tasty Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados.

The action got frenetic during this triple Dorado hook-up.

Master Captain William put on a show in late July with a fantastic run of catches.

These early Sailfish releases were backed up with a sweet Yellowfin Tuna on ice and a nice Dorado.

Captain Alex battled a brigade of super Sailfish on July 25. Check out this high-flying monster:

Great work by Mate Kevin to safely handle and release all of these billfish.
