Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The blue water has moved extremely close to shore this week to the delight of our holiday anglers. Check out these blue water specimens caught less than 5 miles from shore:
This is why fishing in our area is the best bang-for-your-buck fishing in the world…most boats have a 40+ mile trip to find these monsters, while here in Garza they are in the front yard.
The Cooper Family had a fantastic fishing day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin.
Mr. Cooper kicked off the action with a nice Dorado catch.
Thing really heated up in the afternoon as the Explorer was beset by wave after wave of Sailfish strikes.
Sarah Cooper scored this mammoth release, but right on the heels of this fish swimming away Jessica nabbed one of her own. These were the first Sailfish for each of these ladies, but they bested the beasts with the precision of old pros.
Mate Kevin saw to the safe releases as Captain David stayed one step ahead of these rocket ships. Great day of action on the super panga!
Jeff Allen already bested the offshore monsters on December 24, so for his follow-up trip the Wanderer stayed inshore to hunt another bucket-list fish…the sneaky Rooster Fish!
Just as with the Sailfish and Dorado, these great fish came in pairs.
Excellent hunting by the Master Captain William and nice fish-handling by First Mate Alex to ensure the safe live release of these beauties.
Jon Salem and his group took the blue water by storm on December 26 with lots of great near-shore blue water action.
Early in the afternoon the kids roped in some big Dorados.
A pair of high-flying Sailfish would come calling late in the day, and the Wanderer showed her stuff with two nice releases.
Great work by this group of Tampa, FL-based angler and the mighty flagship.
Hendrik Engel spent Christmas day on the Explorer with Captain David and Mate Kevin. The Super Panga delivered some gifts for this family…two Sailfish a-leaping!
We expect to see Hendrik later this season for a return visit to Sailfish City.
Great work by the barroom brawler
Jeff Allen and his buddy started the first of their two days on fishing on the Wanderer with a BANG! When you get on board and First Mate Alex has the lures lined up like rifle shells you know that something big is bound to happen.
Double Sailfish release less than an hour into the trip!
After the safe releases these boys would go on to put a pair of Dorados on ice for the dinner table.
Excellent trip by the boat that always comes out swinging!
David Pippins’ boys hail from the heart of Jacksonville, FL and they turned in a very productive half-day on the Super Panga Explorer with Captain David. They boated a pair of thick Dorados, then backed it up with a smaller duo of Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the barroom brawler and these boys from our backyard!
Bailey Brackhoff had an excellent day of Dorado action on the 23-foot Adventurer with Captain Carlos. Check out this pair of tasty Greenies.
All caught less than 5 miles out, to boot!
The Wanderer hosted a nice family for a morning half-day and report a couple of nice Dorados in the fishbox backed up by rod-bending action on small Tunas.
Always great to see the kids get on the reel!
Great work by Captain William and First Mate Alex introducing these youngsters to the craft of sport fishing.
Amazing news from the Adventurer!
Captain Carlos reports the first Sailfish release of the year for the 23-foot switchblade, and this trophy caught by client David Carroll is arguably the largest Sail of the season so far.
Notice the glassy calm of the water so close in shore? This means that there is nothing to deter the big bluewater pelagic close enough to shore for the wiley Adventurer to strike.
After a safe release by Captain Carlos, these Maryland-based anglers brought home some dinner in the form of two meaty Dorados.
All around perfect day for the up-and-coming Captain Carlos and the Adventurer.
