Amberjack | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

April 25, 2013

After their banner day on the Wanderer on April 23, Robert and Joy returned to the Explorer for an inshore battle that was just as fruitful as their offshore excursions.

First off Mr. McCafferty waylaid this 30lbs. Amberjack. Remember that here on the Pacific side our Amberjack are edible and delicious, unlike the Atlantic variety.

Joy Best followed up with a fish that is delicious no matter what ocean you’re in. This tasty Yellowfin Tuna weighs about 35lbs. and is every ounce as good as it looks.

What a wonderful way to cap off a great week of fishing!

The Explorer caught the biggest Amberjack we have ever seen on April 10 with client Bradford Kuhns and young Mr. Thomas Donnelly. This monster is estimated to weigh 90+ lbs. and is an incredible fishing accomplishment.

It is hard to know which was more difficult: catching this behemoth or hoisting it up for the picture!

Amazing work by Captain David and the 26-foot Super Panga!

Steve White booked up the Wanderer for a pair of sunset cruises and though conditions were great the fish were a tad uncooperative. The blue beauty did manage to snag this nice 25lbs. Amberjack and lost a few other mystery nibbles.

Still a slow evening of fishing beats just about any other activity and Mr. White was satisfied with his catch.

Captain David took his wife Betsy and their kids for an evening cruise. After so many trips run it figures that David would want to relax, so it’s a good thing that Betsy and the kids are just as good on the reel as the old man.

Excellent Amberjack pulled off the reef by the David’s family, probably weighing 25lbs. Even on the Captain’s day off the Explorer catches fish!

Buck Davis has come to Nosara from the wonderful town of Kingsland, GA just up the road from our home office in North Florida, and he has brought the healthy appetite for fun that makes South Georgia famous.

His group got things rolling on the Explorer for an inshore meat harvest with plans to move offshore in the Wanderer later this week.

The fishbox got full early with this nice 30lbs. Dorado; perfect for sandwiches and sushi! Later in the day they scored a handsome Amberjack estimated to weigh 25lbs.

Let’s see what fortunes the deep blue water hold for these Georgia anglers later this week.

Francois Bernier joined Captain David and Mate Carlos on the unstoppable super panga for a 3.5 hour inshore fishing trip early in the morning on November 17. The Explorer took her usual spot over the reefs of Pincha Padre and Monsieur Bernier reeled in this excellent Amberjack.

Francois is moving up to the Wanderer for a date with some billfish in early December, but until then he can chow down on some fresh fish filets.

Great catch on the Adventurer today! Captain Carlos manuvered the 23′ panga and it’s three anglers from the Will Meeker group about a mile from shore and found this massive Amberjack lurking in the depths.

Looks like a great time was had by all as once again Captain Carlos delivers for his clients.

Adam Peacock brought the whole family along for a fish-filled trip on the mighty Wanderer. Citing the short 2.5hr timeframe and some tough offshore conditions, Captain William chose to keep the flagship inside on the very fruitful reefs at Pincha Padre.

This young lady scored first with a nice-sized Wahoo in the fishbox. Shortly thereafter came this little White Tuna which is every bit as tasty as it looks.

The highlight of the morning was this gigantic Amberjack which weighs at least 30lbs. This was Mrs. Peacock’s fish from the strike to the fight to the fishbox…you go girl!

Once again the Wanderer delivers a safe, fun fishing adventure for the whole family.

The fellas from St. Augustine Toyota kept the pressure on during their second fishing trip with Captain William on the Wanderer. Jeff, Ian, Robert, and Jeff added one more billfish to the scorecard by releasing this beauty in the first hour of the trip.

The offshore bite shut down, so the crafty Captain William took the flagship inshore to hunt reef monsters. Check out this mammoth 60lbs. Amberjack they pulled up from about 120 feet of water.

The Sails-men are going to finish their whirlwind fishing adventure on the Explorer and be back in the Showroom by Friday; head on in to St. Augustine Toyota this weekend to hear a few great fishing stories.

Our new friend Shepard McKenney booked Captain David for a morning half day trip on the Explorer and the Super Panga delivered the goods for this Maryland-based angler.

The Yellowfin Tuna were swarming the bait spread and throughout the day Mr. McKenney boated eight football-sized Yella Fellas.

The big fish of the morning was this Amberjack estimated to weigh 45lbs. Shepard has enough filets to keep his family fed and makes some new friends around Nosara.

Great work by a client who really knows a good boat (check out Shepard’s normal ride over at Hinckley Yachts).
