Cubera Snapper | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

June 17, 2024

John Gilvary scored again on June 17. Here is his email to us:

Well the last day of fishing did not disappoint with the addition of a Cubera Snapper to the list of fish caught down here in Costa Rica this time around. We caught some black tuna and Jack Crevelle for bait and then Jack landed this beautiful Cubera Snapper in 120 feet of water.

Released after the photo.

We had a small blue marlin jumping like crazy around the boat which was awesome to see, hopefully he grows up and we catch him next visit. Until our next visit Pura Vida my friends!!

Captain Wilson rigged it up and sent to down to the reef, and nailed this awesome Cubera Snapper (released after photo). Great work by the Harvester.

Angler Brett Hause joined the Adventurer for a 5 hour half day. Smallest boat, short trip, less than 5 miles form shore…you think that means Blue Marlin isn’t in play? Then you would be wrong.

This monster bit through the hook less than 20 feet from the boat. They also released a nice Cubera Snapper.

Amazing work by the 23-foot switchblade and Captain Fito.
