Cubera Snapper | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

March 24, 2015

Inshore madness on the March 24 on-board the Wanderer!

This 30lbs. Rooster Fish release got things going early, then was followed up with this gigantic Cubera Snapper:

Later in the trip they repeated with a Rooster Fish release followed up with another Cubera.

The reefs have been fertile all month, but rarely do we get two massive Rooster Fish releases AND two Cubera Snappers.

As an added delicacy, check out this Blue Jack Crevelle…this is a rare catch for our area and is the first of the year for the whole team.

Our main man Arturo took a break from running the North Guiones Beach office to do a little ‘research’ with Captain Fico on the Adventurer.

The little big man scored this hefty Rooster fish, then followed it up with a tasty Cubera Snapper for the dinner table.

Great work by Numero Uno!

The Adventurer scored big again on March 21st will a wide haul of filets.

They scored a Cubera Snapper early in the trip and followed in up with a beefy Cierro Mackeral.

This is certainly an above-average size for this tasty species. The final fish of the day was another big Cubera.

Small boat, big fish…just another day for the 23-foot Adventurer.

The Wanderer has been filling the trophy case with releases all week, but the filets have been a little scarce. Fortunately, client David Rybas elected to stay inshore on March 20 and his group laid the smack down on a bunch of big Cubera Snappers.

This first one is enough to feed Garza for the day, but the next two that came in could feed all of Guanacaste!

Amazing haul by the mighty Wanderer.

Captain Fico has the Adventurer dialed-in and clients are reaping the rewards. Check out this excellent Rooster fish release:

They also scored a nice 25lbs. Cubera Snapper for the fishbox.

Great action from the powerful pocket-knife.

Hands down the best fish of the month for the Adventurer was this mammoth Cubera Snapper score on March 16.

Easily tipping the scales at 50+lbs., this is the kind of fish the Adventurer was made for:

Wonderful work by the fast-rising Captain Fico!

Captain Fico has continued to strengthen his game, especially when it comes to scoring on multiple species in a single trip. On March 5 he filled the fishbox with:

Jack Crevalle,

Cubera Snapper,

…and the tasty Cierro Mackeral. Great results from the boat that is always on the fish.

Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam tried his hand on the new Discoverer for a few trips in late February. Joined by Bill and Mary Elms, this Kentucky angler scored big on a variety of species.

This big Dorado was the highlight, but they also nabbed Sailfish, Snapper, and Yellowfin Tuna

Recently the barroom brawler pulled up a stool to the legendary reef at Pincha Padre and knocked out all comers.

This beautiful Rooster fish release is certainly the highlight of the haul.

Later in the day they scored a nice-sized Cubera Snapper for the dinner table. Excellent tasting filets on the way!

On February 5 Craig Sutton joined the Wanderer with the goal of replicating the prior day’s Cubera Snapper success.

The offshore gear stayed stowed as Craig dropped a live blue runner to the reef on a Penn 760 Slammer. This monster Cubera ascended to the surface to maul the frightened bait, and the fight was on!

Amazing fish for Craig which may only be bested by his previous Hall of Fame Cubera catches:
