Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain Jack and Matty, the FishingNosara Building Dream Team, took some time off from dialing-in the new Safari Carts long enough to join Captain David for a quick 2 hr. evening trip. In this short time Jack ripped in a nice 40lbs. Cuberra Snapper.
With dinner in the box, Matty ordered the appetizer in the form of a football-sized Yellowfin tuna. They are heading out again tomorrow with more meals in mind. Nice trip to the fish market!
There was a great report on March 16 from the Wanderer of wonderful action on the inshore reefs. They brought in a nice Yellowfin Tuna, a Rainbow Runner, and the smallest Dorado imaginable (we threw that one back obviously).
Nice catches by the Wanderer today. Jim, Bryan, Katrina, and the rest of their posse were treated to a wide variety of smaller inshore fish.
Later on, they buried the hook in Mr. Sailfish. He was no match for us this time…Another great catch and release for the Wanderer.
The big score came on March 13 with client Dewey Gile who packed the fishbox with four nice Yellowfin Tunas. Adding a Marlin release to that day would be the trip of a lifetime right? How about TWO Blue marlins?
That’s right! Performing like a boat twice her size, the Explorer captured the flag this weekend. Lots of Yellowfins and a double Blue Marlin day…doesn’t get much better than that!
The Wanderer got a morning trip in with client Katrina before lashing down for the afternoon tidal surge (thanks to the Japan earthquake). She caught two Yellowfin tunas and two nice Grouper.
By the way, thank you for all the email expressing concern over our safety RE: potential tidal wave. I am happy to report that all our personnel and equipment are safe.
Let’s give pause and prayers to the lives that were lost today and to the tough task of rebuilding that faces countless coastal areas in the Pacific Basin. Our prayers are with you. Pura Vida!
The first of two episodes of Hook the Future featuring FishingNosara. This episode is a day offshore aboard the Wanderer.
Are you ready to look cool and help a great cause all at once?
The long wait is finally over! The next generation of FishingNosara T-shirts are arriving to Guiones Beach today, available in multiple colors and styles. As always $1 from each shirt sold goes to the Nosara School.
To everyone who is not currently in Nosara, we will begin filling orders for new T-shirts on March 31, but we are currently taking pre-orders. Email Craig@FishingNosara.com or Matty@FishingNosara.com to place your order.
Jay is out on the Explorer right now but phoned in a morning report before heading offshore for trolling action. Right now he’s got a 20lbs. Cuberra in the box and three Congrios each weighing 15lbs.
The Congrio is a member of the eel family that yields a tasty white meat.
The same team of expert superstars from The Explorer Story and The Wanderer Story took a break from boat building to fabricate a trailer rack for FishingNosara’s 13′ Ocean Kayaks. Granted, as car guys this is right in Jack, Craig, and Matty’s comfort zone.
Take a look at the progress from a stock 8 foot trailer to a spiny, menacing, Road Warrior-esque battle wagon. This beast should be in Nosara sometime next week and be in full time service shortly thereafter.
Craig got in on the action and brought his old-school approach to bear on the cross-members. Even though we have power saws, he cut them all with a hacksaw and achieved perfectly equal lengths and nice flat corners. Can’t teach Experience kids!
Of course Jack has been welding for many years and this project was no challenge to his mammoth skills with the metal whip. From race cars to boat trailers, Jack has many successful welds under his belt.
By adding crossmember support to the stock trailer we estimate that the carrying capacity is double the stock load. Also the superstructure can be removed in a few minutes to allow for more utility from the trailer.
Despite the modifications and extreme attention to detail, this whole project took only one day of fabrication with a second day allocated for painting. Great work from the Dream Building Team!
It is with great joy that we announce the birth of Javier Hernandez’ first child: a beautiful, healthy baby boy. The birth occurred on March 7 in the afternoon, and mother and child are both resting comfortably.
Javier Hernandez has been with Nosara Paradise Rentals since the very beginning. Starting as a gardener and handyman, Sr. Hernandez immediately showed great leadership skills and potential far beyond his position.
Since ascending to the position of General Manager, Javier has put his stamp of excellence on every aspect of the operation involving Nosara Paradise Rentals, FishingNosara, and Nosara Transport. Don’t just take my word for it: seems like every client testimonial on the internet gushes over Javier’s efforts to deliver the vacation of a lifetime to our clients.
He is a good boss, a great friend, and a true ambassador of the ‘Pura Vida’ spirit and of his homeland. Now he begins the most challenging task to date: fatherhood.
Baby’s good, Mama’s good, Life’s good. Pura Vida!
Presenting…Dario Hernandez
