Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Drew Honeycutt and his boys started their week of fishing with a bang on board the flagship Wanderer with everybody getting their hands on Pacific Sailfish.
The action was super-hot all day, but no amount of Sailfish can overwhelm the Master Captain William and the Super First Mate Alex.
Let’s hope this is a sign of good fishing to come this week for these guys!
March 5 was a double-trip day for Captain William and First Mate Alex, and they delivered the goods two times!
First up was Dave Tewel’s group from the hard-fishin’ state of Washington for a pair of Sailfish battles.
Captain William swung back to Garza to bid adios to Dave and hola to Johnny Staines and his friends.
They also gathered a pair of Sailfish including this nasty charger:
Wonderful work by the unstoppable flagship!
On March 3rd we welcomed back our new friend Hendrik Engel for another three rounds of billfish bouts.
This lovely Sailfish was a sign of good things to come as Mr. Engel really gathered up the release on the 5th.
Hendrik has only been fishing with us for about 6 months but he already has a reputation for lighting up the scoreboard every time he goes out.
March 4 proved to be a fun afternoon with this excellent Dorado on ice.
Great to have a souvenir from a 2.5 hour trip, and these tasty Mahi filets are just perfect.
Captain Carlos welcomed John Timmerman to the Adventurer for a combination fly-fishing / bottom fishing trip. The fish weren’t fooled by the flies, however this GIANT Cubera Snapper could not resisted a double-hooked Bonita dropped to the bottom.
Whoa! That is a true sea monster…excellent work by the unstoppable Captain Carlos and the fearless Adventurer.
Mitch and Jami Price returned to the Wanderer and stepped their game up big time!
Four more Sailfish releases were added to the scorecard, including one high-flying monster for Jami.
They added some meat for the dinner table with this fine Dorado later in the trip.
Great work by these Florida anglers and of course by the crew of the mighty Wanderer.
Ross Jordan is a tough-as-nails fisherman from Kansas, and based on his performance this week you’d think that there were blue water breaks in the middle of sunflower fields back home.
They started the day off right with a pair of Sailfish releases, then set there sights on delicious dinnertime Dorados.
Great work by the crew of the mighty flagship and these fine anglers from the Jayhawk state.
The Adventurer produced excellent results this month with a wide variety of catches. Check out just a sampling of the inshore morsels that the pocket knife pried up thanks to the moxy of Captain Carlos:
This Broomtail Grouper is definitely an exciting addition to the haul.
Yellowfin Tuna, big Dorado, and Wahoo may be offshore species where you come from, but with the nimble Adventurer these fish market scores can be had just 2 miles from the beach.
Of course a staple of our tasty fish rountine is the delectable White Tuna. These fellas rarely top 15lbs, but every ounce is filled with yummy goodness!
Mitch and Jami Price are the latest in a long line of South Florida anglers to whip some fish butt on the Wanderer, and their 6.5 hour trip on the flagship yielded some awesome catches.
They nabbed a pair of Sailfish early, then Jami added this fat Dorado:
She kept the coals burning by adding another two Sailfish releases to round out the trip.
Joe Rodriguez had a magnificent day on the Explorer as Captain David navigated the Super panga through a gauntlet of big fighting fish.
Nancy got in on the action too with a nice Sail release!
Here’s the email we got from Joe:
Hello Craig,
