Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Craig Sutton was joined by our old friend Captain Andrew Foster for a long day of trolling on the Wanderer. Bites were scarce offshore, so this Atlantic Beach fishing duo headed inshore and found some excellent action just a few miles from shore.
Andrew’s hot-dogging on the rod was premature, and this big Rooster fish put up a great fight!
After the safe release of the Rooster, Craig scored a nice 25lbs. Cubera Snapper for the dinner table.
Great trip-saving action on the flagship!
St. Augustine legend Dave Liebowitz joined Craig on board the mighty Wanderer and these two good ole’ North Florida boys snagged a familar exotic:
Dave has whacked many a Red Snapper in Florida, so it’s fitting their distant cousin was his first catch in Costa.
This monster Cubera Snapper weighs a good 40lbs. and that means big smiles all around.
Captain Carlos has been very active on the Explorer with excellent catches of Rock Snapper, Yellowfin Tuna and Cubera Snapper.
The Explorer consistently proves that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica.
More great family action for the Adventurer. Check out this beefy Cubera Snapper scored from the reefs outside of Garza:
The Kirk Wurster group is on fire this week! They followed up their excellent pair of Rooster fish releases with this tasty keeper:
Kenny scored this whopping Cubera Snapper (estimated right around 30lbs.) and this feisty fish’s filets are full-on fridge fillers!
They also added this nice Dorado for variety:
Captain Fico on the Adventurer picked up some nice trips with folks from Captain Sergio’s group on their off days. Check out these beefy Amberjacks pried up by the pocket knife:
The Adventurer also delivered the goods in the form of this 30+lbs. Cubera Snapper:
The great fishing continues for Captain Sergio Atanes’ Costa Rica Adventure group. On June 8 the Discoverer welcomed Jack Walker, Alice Trautman, Sue Garcia and Beverly Lanier for some great inshore action.ย
A great trio of Cubera Snappers is the perfect filet haul to keep the party going on shore.
Great catches by Captain David!
The Odd Couples really got cooking on May 31. After a slow day of trolling offshore, these savvy Florida anglers chose to stay inshore where the fresh rain water helped stir up a nice array of bottom dwellers.
A pair of big Cuberra Snappers were the highlight of the trip until this beefy Rooster fish stole the spotlight:
After a safe release, the team got back to meat harvesting with a septuplet of sweet Yellowtail Snappers.
Take a look at the day’s haul:
Looks like the best fish market you’ve ever seen, courtesy of Captain William and the multi-faceted Wanderer.
We welcomed a big fun group of folks from our hometown of Jacksonville, FL and they scored some great inshore lunkers aboard the Wanderer.
Henry Starling, Rick Tullis, Richard Hosey, and Mike Glenn brought their families along for this inshore conquest and it is safe to say that all mouths were fed by these excellent Cubera Snappers.
They also added a pair of trophy releases in the form of these excellent Rooster Fish:
Great work by this posse of North Florida anglers!
Our new pal Tracy Anderson just finished up three back-to-back days of inshore action with a wide variety of tasty filets on ice.
The Adventurer hasn’t skipped a beat with Captain Fico at the helm, as proved by this nice Cubera Snapper.
Tracy followed up with a few smaller Snappers:
Plus a Yellowfin Tuna and a Yellowtail Snapper…that’s a grand a haul!
