Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Mike Murphy of Jon Matula’s posse kept up the great fishing with a fun day of action on August 15 with the Discoverer. This highlight was this awesome Marlin release.
They also added to the world-class billfish release with these tasty Dorados:
Mike sent us this nice note: “Great fishing and great place to stay. All of my group enjoyed it.”
Team Humprey finished up their week in Nosara with a breathtaking NINE Sailfish release day on the Harvester on August 15.
The mega panga was a busy place; how could it not be with more than one Sailfish release per hour?
Clearly the action hit a peak for this group of South Florida anglers.
Of course all nine fish were released safely with no problems.
In addition to the Sailfish releases, the crew also scored a icebox full of nice Dorados.
“I had an amazing experience with this company when I was in Costa Rica. They surpassed my expectations and helped make the already incredible experience a time I will never forget. My fondest memories will be the time spent on the Harvester with Captain Alex and first mate Wilson.”
“My group who joined me on this journey all work for a fishing charter company (Lady Pamela 2 Fishing Charters) in South Florida. We are avid fishermen who work on the water catching fish, everyday. It’s not only a passion, but a career. That being said, we all felt Captain Alex was by far one of the best we have ever seen. He has eyes like a hawk. He is quicker than a rattle snake. He is patient, eager and willing to teach the knowledge he has learned fishing the Pacific Ocean for almost his whole life to us fellow fishermen of Florida.”
“We fished three days out of our week stay. We decided to upgrade to a full eight hours for our last trip. That day we caught and released nine gorgeous sail fish. We caught everything from 75lb tuna to 15lb dorados out of our three trips, but the last day was by far an incredible experience. Our mate, Wilson, was extremely polite, helpful, and quick at getting the spread back out. I really can’t say enough about these gentlemen and how wonderful they are.”
“Our host, Craig, was very friendly an met us for our complementary breakfast just about every morning. (Breakfast was great by the way) he joined in on conversations with everyone staying at the little jungle town he created in Nosara. He was a great host an has built a phenomenal company.”
“We also did a horse back ride with Eduardo in the breath taking atmosphere that was surrounded by mountains, monkeys, waterfalls, flowers, incredible trees… (I could keep going) an we enjoyed every second of it! He matched all our personalities with each horse! They were well trained and taken care of. Eduardo was so sweet!! He told us all kinds of interesting facts about the jungle and the surrounding river. We rode up to his mothers house, where we were greeted with star fruit water, cold mountain water, and mouth watering sliced fruit. He showed us his gorgeous property and kept the interesting info about his culture an land going the whole time.”
“We then rode off again to several different waterfalls where we got to get wet with the horses and take awesome pictures. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. We then traveled back to his mamas house, where we had hands down the best meal we ate our entire trip. Fresh green salad with the best avacado you’ll ever eat. Chicken that was clearly prepared that morning, home made potato chips, rice and beans… uh I want more just thinking about it. Then the coffee!!! Oh the coffee! Beans from their tree, freshly ground, that was just heavenly. They were warm hearted, kind, humble people whom I will never forget.”
“If you are looking to stay at a beautiful location, do some incredible big game fishing, and explore the wonders of the jungle on horseback.. you will have a life changing experience if you book a vacation trip with Fishing Nosara. You won’t want to leave!!!”

Dale Rehus scored the biggest Rooster Fish release of the season on August 14.
This is a no-doubter 100+lbs. fish. The IGFA all-tackle record is 51.71kg (114lbs.) and I think this one is in the conversation.
A nice Sailfish release also reflected nicely on the scorecard.
Great work by Captain Fico and the barroom brawler Explorer.
Jon Matula’s group kept up the good fishing with several nice Yellowfin Tuna scores on the Wanderer.
Big fish and big smiles…that’s what we’re all about!
The Discoverer and Paul Murry’s group filled the fishboxes with Dorados during their trip on August 14.
These tasty Dorados will certainly keep the group fed during their week.
Patrick and Jennifer Humphrey’s group joined Captain Alex for a full day on the Harvester, and these CCA FL anglers got all they could handle as the Sailfish came in swift and strong.
There were multiple hookups throughout the trip and lots of good fights.
Excellent work by the mega panga.
FishingNosara Hall of Famers Dan and Delaney Johnson returned to the mighty Wanderer for another trip to the blue water on August 13.
Delaney scored several nice Yellowfin Tunas, and then Dan belted up to battle a supreme Sailfish.
Great work as always by two of our favorite anglers.
Our old friend Jon Matula has returned to Nosara and is rolling about 14 deep. His group spread out across several boats on the 13th, and the group on the Discoverer posted some great Yellowfin Tuna catches.
These were backed up by a nice Dorado and a sweet Blue Marlin release.
Craig Sutton finished off a good week of fishing by taking advantage of the best bite of the year.
His five-hours on the Discoverer was highlighted by this nice Marlin release backed up with a sweet Sailfish.
David and Kevin Paredes joined Captain Alex on August 12 and continued their run of hot fishing both offshore and inshore.
This 34lbs. Rooster Fish release is a great addition to the trophy case, and was a harbinger of good things to come later in the day when they headed offshore.
The Harvester reports a 48lb. Yellowfin Tuna and two nice Dorados caught in the blue water offshore.
