Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Ronnie and Tammy Stuart found big fish lurking near to shore on June 26, with Captain William reporting sweet action headlined by this Rooster Fish release:
Some nice Yellowfin Tuna catches followed, surrounded by some mystery hook-ups…whatever was biting, it was BIG!
Dustin DeRouen endured significant airport-related delays in order to make their trip to Nosara, but their first day of fishing was clearly worth the hardship…check our this MASSIVE Yellowfin Tuna:
More tasty (albeit regular-sized) Yellowfins we caught throughout the trip.
This group won’t go hungry this week! Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester.
Arym Diamond’s family joined Captain Fico on June 26, and the toppled some of the biggest Yellowfin Tunas of the year on the Explorer.
These look nice, but did you check out what’s on the floor?
What a mighty monster!
Fantastic work by the barroom brawler Explorer!
Patrick Brunosson’s family finished their week in Nosara in style…Yellowfin Tuna style to be precise!
This pair of monsters were just a sign of great things to come. The next fish was a beefy brute:
Captain Alex stayed on the bite throughout the day, and big Yella Fellas kept the rods bent.
The Harvester kept catching all the way the end of the eight hour full day trip.
On June 27 Susan Wiggins’ family put in an excellent day with Captain William on the Wanderer.
A pair of super Sailfish release topped Team Wiggins’ scorecard.
Then for the dinner table they added some beautiful Yellowfin Tuna filets.
Our good friend Patrick Brunosson of South Florida joined Captain David for an inshore assault on June 22.
Big Cubera Snappers were the headliners of a haul that also included Yellowfin Tunas.
For the trophy case with this Rooster Fish release:
Amazing results from the Adventurer.
Captain Fico kept the heat on during mid June. Check out this sweet array of tasty keepers:
Yellowfin Tunas are always a staple for us this time of year, as are these whopping big red Cubera Snappers:
Adding variety to the filet bag are these big Red Groupers…amazing to eat and fun to catch!
Great work by Captain Fico!
Marie Cooper’s group stepped up to the Discoverer on June 20 and Robert scored a true-fish-of-a-lifetime with this stunning Blue Marlin release.
“Hi, Craig – I just posted a review on YELP but it doesn’t completely convey our trip…so here goes:”
“If you go to Costa Rica, do it the right way and have Craig and his team work with you to give you the experience of a lifetime!”
“First, the accommodations – we stayed in Casa Bonita. It was adorable – nice kitchen, fridge to keep those beers chilled and a beautiful patio (front & back). The surrounding gardens are gorgeous with lush, tropical landscaping and it feels like you’re in the jungle! The location is within walking distance to restaurants & shops!”
“Then the staff/team – OMG! Javier (and everyone in the office) as well as the drivers, boat captains, first mates — all treated us like royalty! They were accommodating in every way (they even helped us understand colones!). If we wanted to arrange a tour, we just stopped in the office and they handled everything — literally everything! Like clockwork, the van would be there the next morning to take us on our journey! They suggested restaurants to cook our catch (and we went to see more than once — that’s how good they were!). But let me get more specific:”
“Fishing! Really what can I say – we went the first day were were there. Van picked us up right at our room and took us to the beach where we got on a panga (new one for me!) out to the Harvester. I got a nice Wahoo and a Tuna! Captain William took excellent care of us, and along with an awesome lunch (prepared by Maria — who should give cooking classes to guests because I’d sign right up for that!). The guys in our group went out a second time and snagged their dream of Marlin and Sailfish.”
“We did the horseback tour with Eduardo. Again, not enough words to say about him and his family! The horses were picked for each of us (I got a nice calm one!). We went up and down the mountains, valley’s, etc. and ended up at beautiful waterfalls where Eduardo was sweet enough to take photos of us so we have memories of a lifetime! Then lunch — oh my! — Traditional in every way, cooked by his Mom! We needed a little siesta afterward BUT we hopped back on our horses and Eduardo finished the tour. He told us about his family, how they came to have this estate and he explained all along the way about foliage, the giant tree, and how his horse really doesn’t like the “iguana spot”! Another expedition I’l never forget!”
“The Pacific Ocean is literally right down the street and is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. This was a trip of a lifetime for us — and it did not disappoint!”
“Craig – thank you and your awesome team — for vacation memories that will last a lifetime (or until our next visit!)”
Marie and Robert Cooper
