Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
The unstoppable Dan Johnson continued to score on December 5.
Six Dorados were put on ice by Master Captain William of the Wanderer and his special guest….his son Antonio Carillo:
The fishing stayed good all day, and everyone got a crack at the action.
Just cause he’s nursing a shoulder injury doesn’t me that Dan Johnson doesn’t get out fishing.
On November 17 he invited Marino and Dieter from Nosara Paradise Rentals to join him on the Wanderer for a fun day of catching.
A big Dorado and a nice trio of Yellowfin Tunas made for a full filet bag.
Dan Johnson took Marlin Bill, Chef Brayan and Kevin Kruz as guest for a fun day of fishing on November 14.
They filled up the fishbox with Dorados, Yellowfin Tunas, and a small Congrio plus some random bottom fish. Great time!
On November 6, multi-time FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson kicked off the new season with Master Captain William on the Wanderer.
Joined by Antonio Carrillo and friends, they nagged Dorados and Congrios.
Dan Johnson from Hatteras took his friend Manuel Obando and Anthony Joxcer for a day fishing on April 1.
They caught tunas groupers and Congrio.
Good time as always.
Dan Johnson from Hatteras, NC took his three Immigration Officer friends Antonio Carrillo,
Luis Rodriguez Valdez and Carlos Ramirez Garcia for a day on the Explorer.
It was Luis’ and Carlos’ first day ever fishing in the ocean.
Everyone had a great time catching groupers and exotic bottom fish
At the end of the trip they had a great meal at Marlin Bills with the catch.
Dan Johnson took friends and clients Richarg Fertig and Erika Bossi on the Wanderer on March 28.
They enjoyed a beautiful day on the sea and caught nine Yellowfin Tunas and two Congrios.
Dan Johnson from Hatteras took Yoseph Castellon (CR Operations Manager for FishingNosara) along with Manuel Obando.
They had a fun day with mulitple Red Groupers, a nice Congrio, and two Sailfish releases.
On February 26, Dan Johnson from Hatteras took his longtime friend Manuel Obando from Garza out along with Captain Fico‘s son Moises Friend Anthony and little nine-year-old Jefferson.
It was Jefferson‘s first day on the sea and he was happy to catch a Dorado and some bottom fish. Dan gave him a pair of sunglasses, and he’s now a Pescador.
From the “Small World” department:
Dan Johnson from Hatteras was happy to welcome his new friend Antonio Carrillo to fish with him on Wednesday the 24th.
They met at the immigration line in Liberia airport last year while Dan was wearing a Fishing Nosara shirt when Antonio called him next in line
After many questions from Antonio, Dan said he fishes with Fishing Nosara and William Mendoza is my captain of many years
Antonio quickly said he is my father
It’s a small world
Dan has been trying to get Antonio to fish with him on a day off from the immigration police and it worked out great to fish with his father.
So on February 24, the Wanderer welcomed this most distinguished guest:
This may be a vacation for Officer Carillo, but the same can’t be said for the fish…the family scored over ten Red Groupers, plus a nice Yellowfin Tuna.
This trip was a ‘who’s who’ of local talent. Captain Fico of the Explorer came along, also a guest of Mr. Dan Johnson.
The fishing karma was so good that they scored a double Grouper catch even though the snap swivel was left unbuckled.
Near-shore Sailfish release were a welcome diversion.
Also Captain Fico scored an outstanding Yellowfin Tuna.
Here is Father and Son with an excellent Dorado:
“With the best Captain, my father.” Antonio posted.
