Charles Tompkins joined the Explorer in mid-March for a fun run of fishing action.
This Sailfish was caught early in the trip, but the real highlight was this monster Yellowfin Tuna:
Great work by Captain Fico and the barroom brawler

Jason Frelich’s group started their week with a BIG Dorado, then scored a swarm of Sailfish releases, and on their final trip scored the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season so far.
We can’t undestate how unusual it is to find big Yellowfins this time of year. What a blessing!
Earlier in the trip they scored this wonderful Rooster Fish release inshore.
Amazing job my Mate Wilson, Captain Alex, and the unbeatable Harvester.
Hey Craig,
I was part of the Frelich group that hauled in the 200 lb+ Yellowfin Tuna, which I must say I’m still enjoying. This was our 2nd vacation with Fishing Nosara and you and your team did not disappoint. I just wanted to relay a few things about our stay that really stood out.
This was our first time staying on the Fishing Nosara property, which is beautifully maintained tropical paradise “Paradise Rentals” is a good name, having the cart at our disposal made getting around a breeze. The pool and breakfast area really beautiful, tropical and needed after a long day of reeling in fish.
From the shuttles to and from the airport, to fishing, to anything we wanted was terrific and super punctual with no worries.
We went horse back riding one day, and the tour was fabulous. We had a lunch with the locals and it was delicious.
The fishing. We fished with Alex and Wilson, on the Fishing Nosara Super Panga all 3 days. I must say that Alex has super fish finding radar like a superhero. He is fishing excellence and partnering with Wilson make them a great 1-2 punch. On our 3 days fishing we caught 10 of 11 Sailfish, 28 lb Dorado, a 48 lb Rooster Fish (my prize catch) and fought the mighty 200 lb + Yellowfin for nearly 4 hrs. it made our several other tuna we caught in the 25lb range look like bait. Kudo’s go’s to our mighty fisherwoman “T” who fought the beast for over 2 hrs making the last 2 hrs an easy catch for Robbie her first mate.
Our over all experience with your accommodations, personnel and fishing was 5 star. Thank you again and hope to return soon.

Thank you,

Captain Fico posted a banner day with Lauren Frederick’s group on the 27th. An early Sailfish release was a great way to start the trip.
Throughout the day swarms of Yellowfin Tunas came running through the spread, and the super panga was ready to catch them.
The kept five big Yellowfin Tunas ranging from 30lbs. – 40lbs.

Our great friend John Egan joined Captain Carlos for a day of offshore action on January 5th.
He cut a wide swath; in addition to this big Sailfish release, he scored some meat thanks to this Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado.

While the big boats were offshore battling Marlins, the Explorer chose a closer orbit and Captain Fico’s witchcraft paid off for the Stephane Ughetto group.
This BIG Yellowfin Tuna (~60lbs.) was clearly the catch of the day, and it was backed up with a nice Sailfish release.
Excellent work by Mate Antonio and Captain Fico.

Who says you need a big boat to catch big fish? Don’t tell that to Captain David and the Adventurer. Look at these catches from Kevin Hrabinski’s group.
These monster Yellowfin Tunas were caught on December 13 just a few miles off the beach.
Great work by the 23-foot switchblade.

The Wanderer welcomed back Dominick D’Agastino for a fun day of action on December 12.
Big Yellowfin Tunas were the highlight of the trip; another great performance by Captain William and the flagship

Javier Perez’ group was sidelined by big winds on the 9th, but they persisted on December with a great Yellowfin Tuna haul.
This big boy was the blue ribbon winner, and was one of several caught by the Discoverer.

Scott O’Kelley moved over the barroom brawler Explorer on the 24th, and proved once again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica.
Excellent billfish releases got things moving the in right direction. Next, Captain Fico hooked up this big Yellowfin Tuna.
More Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados helped round out the haul.

The Harvester scored a MONSTER 180lbs. Yellowfin Tuna with Steven Dziadul and his crew Joe and Cody.
This is the first Big Yellowfin Tuna of the season, but you know it won’t be the last.
They also scored a trio of Sailfish releases throughout the day.
Amazing job by Captain Alex, Mate Wilson, and the mega panga Harvester!
