Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Kirk Langenbach scored the first Marlin of the season for the FishingNosara team with the Master Captain William on the Wanderer.
This Blue Marlin was estimated to weigh 200lbs. by Mate Johnson upon the safe release.
Awesome job by Kirk and the whole Moody group on their fishing battles, and of course by the big blue beauty Wanderer.
Our new friend Arch Solomon became the star of the off-season with a magnificent triple Marlin day on the Harvester!
Check out this great email we received from the Solomon’s
Hi Craig,
WOW what a day of fishing! We caught 2 blues and 1 black today. My first marlin ever!
Have had a blast, we will tell all of our fisherman friends and we will for sure be back!
Everyone here has been so friendly.
Cheers,
Tracy and Arch Solomon
Craig was back on the Harvester for a mega Marlin day on August 13 with fellow angler Lloyd Michael.
The first Blue Marlin snagged two baits and was simultaneously hooked by Craig and Lloyd!
After a safe release by Mate Kevin a second Marlin entered the spread and fought bravely, spitting the hook after putting on a fireworks show next to the boat.
Awesome hunting by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
Marlin alert on the Wanderer!
The flagship captured this behemoth on August 2 and released her after a legendary battle with Bob Owens’ group.
Great work by Captain William and Mate Johnson on this fish of a lifetime!
The Discoverer welcomed back returning client Paul Worthington for a nice day of Yellowfin Tuna conquering. Check out this beastie:
Later in the trip Donna Bowler caught 40lb Dorado pictured with her husband Steve.
Then Paul finished off the trip with a 250lb Blue Marlin.
Fantastic job by Captain Carlos on the big battleship!
Our buddy Greg Henry scored the fish of a lifetime on the Discoverer as Captain Carlos reports the release of this sweet Blue Marlin, estimated by Mate Juan Carlos at 300lbs.
They also added a Sailfish release and a 30lbs. Yellowfin Tuna on ice. Great fishing from this Hudson, FL angler!
They also add on this nice Sailfish release:
Fantastic day by the mega panga Harvester with client Greg Henry reporting a wide variety of great catches. The early strikes were these nice-sized Yellowfun Tuna. and big Dorados:
Very strong fighters (see the broken rod) and great tasting filets!
Then they released two strong Pacific Sailfish:
They topped off the day with this beautiful Blue Marlin!
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester.
June 14, 2016 marks the first time in the seven year history of the FishingNosara team that Marlin releases were scored by every team boat.

The Discoverer leads the team in Grand Slams this year, and on May 21 close to notching the scorecard with another one.
Joined by client Jennifer Engle, Captain Carlos nabbed two Blue Marlins, and two Sailfish.
For good measure they also added a Dorado for the dinner table.
Fantastic work by Jennifer Engle and the Discoverer.
Also our buddy Eric Dixon scored the finest feat in all of fishing: Billfish Grand Slam!
To the laymen that’s a Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, and Sailfish on a single trip.
Great work by Captain Carlos, Mate Juan Carlos, and the battleship Discoverer!
