Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

December 11, 2018

It was a true pleasure to welcome our old pal Captain Don Dingman for a quick romp on the Wanderer. Captain Don is the beloved TV personality behind Hook the Future TV and is the driving force in getting young anglers into fishing.

Captain William followed the porpoises and snuck in to steal their lunch.

Don nabbed this nice Yellowfin Tuna on the Wanderer.

Then Rebecca stepped up to battle a tasty Dorado.

They were in town celebrating their anniversary; remember that they fished with us on their honeymoon, and Rebecca dressed up for the occasion.

Still one of our favorite pics.

Great work by Captain Don and Rebecca!

Captain Carlos kept the good time rolling for Sarah Deter’s group, with big Dorados and big smiles reported on December 11.

The offshore action has remained steady this month and we are hoping for more of the same this December and January.

Rob Eastman enlisted the Discoverer for blue water fishing action on December 10.

Captain Carlos always delivers variety to his clients, and the combination of Dorado steaks and Yellowfin Tuna sushi certainly fills out a menu.

Captain William welcomed Clark Smith and his group for a great adventure on December 8.

This big Dorado was the headliner of the show, and put the mighty flagship to the test.

After that success, more big Dorados peppered the spread throughout the day.

It’s so great to see the size on these Mahi this early in the season.

Captain Alex is always ready to embrace a new fishing challenge, so when fly-fishing enthusiast Mike Williams chartered on December 8 the Harvester was ready for the challenge.

Captain Alex retracted the outrigger and Mate Kevin worked a teaser bait until Mike offered the fly to this big Dorado:

After this excellent catch, Team Williams turned to the conventional tackle and loaded up on a multitude of big Dorados.

That’s three nice smiles right there!

Great work by the crew of the mega panga!

Stanley Green and his buddies knocked in out of the park on the 7th with a massive haul of big Dorados.

The Harvester got on a great run in early-December and Alex’ clients were all smiles.

The Explorer grabbed the biggest Dorado of the season so far with angler Matt Baden.

This monster is a true deck-sweeper and was backed up by a few more beasts.

They also scored an amazing Rooster Fish release.

Great work by the masterful Captain Fico!

The Harvester kept up the Yellowfin Tuna action on the 6th with several more nice scores:

They also boated this excellent Dorado:

December 5, 2018

The Harvester welcomed Julia Thompson and her friends for a fun day of action, punctuated by a nice Dorado score.

Then they found a swarm of tasty football-sized Yellowfin Tunas.

These are the perfect size for firm Ahi steaks.

Great work by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester!

John Hickson and his posse had a marvelous day on the Discoverer with multiple Sailfish releases, including several multi-hookups.

Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin did a wonderful job of keeping these monsters from hurting themselves during the battles, and safely released them as always.

A swarm of Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas will help this group replenish themselves for more fishing.

Greatjob by the big battleship Discoverer!
