Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Eric Dixon continues his dominance of the blue water with a monstrous Marline release reported on November 28 by Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
Estimated at 250lbs.-300lbs., this beast was safely released by Mate Juan Carlos so we expect to catch her again once she gets even bigger.
Later in the day the Dixon boys pulled of an awesome Double Sailfish release, once again featuring expert fish-handling by Juan Carlos.
Our old pal Eric Dixon is back in Nosara and he scored several Sailfish releases on the first of several days fishing on the Discoverer.
This Colorado-based angler is a hardcore fisherman and we expect great action for him this whole week.
Off to a great start!
The battleship Discoverer broke the ice for the team with the first Marlin release of the season on November 24 with client Delton Hollmann.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on this beautiful billfish release!
Wayne Estes and Samantha Shaw scored big on their first day of fishing on the Discoverer.
This hard-fightin’ Sailfish was the highlight of the trip:
The Discoverer is back in action and Captain Carlos scored a quartet of fearsome Sailfish for his clients.
Vesa Luomaranta and her group were all smiles after these four trophy fish releases.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on the battleship!
We love all out clients, but it is a special treat when we can welcome a professional charter captain and his group to our little stretch of blue water paradise.
Marvin Steiding brought the whole crew from his South Florida-based Reel Candy Sportfishing operation for a few days of blue water action on theย Discoverer.
After some early success on Sailfish, they brought it inshore and scored big on Rooster fish.
This Pacific species is certainly a fun catch for these Jupiter, FL based pros.
They also added a few Dorados for the dinner table…great action all around for the Reel Candy team!
The Discoverer is still fishing during September while almost every other boat in the country is on the hill…just because fisherman take a break for the rainy season doesn’t mean the fish do.
Ryan Torbert and his posse proved it on September 14 when they scored a pair of Rooster fish releases. The first one was a bit puny, but the second was a very respectable 20+lbs.
Nice work by the battleship!
Multi-time FishingNosara Hall of Famer Bill Harris brought another posse of Tampa-area anglers for a week of blistering blue water action.
They booked the Wanderer and Discoverer for three days in early September.
We are still awaiting full reports, but for now lets check out the highlights, primarlily this sweet Black Marlin release on the Wanderer:
Bill Harris himself added a nice Sailfish release early on the first day, which was certainly a sign of things to come:
Over on the Discoverer Eli Bedran KO’d a nice Sailfish:
There were lots of bending rods and crushed beer cans all week long. Great work by this fun-loving group!
The Discoverer has built a reputation as a billfish battleship, and on September 2 they scored a pair of Sailfish releases.
The blue water has retreated a little farther out from shore, expanding the area where the behemoths can hide…but there is no escaping Captain David and his view from the top of the Discoverer‘s tower.
Great work on these excellent releases.
Captain David scored a MAMMOTH Blue Marlin with client Chad Grimes of North Carolina on August 22.
This beast is every bit of 300lbs. and is truly the fish-of-a-lifetime.
They followed up with a nice Sailfish release later in the day.
Fantastic work by Captain David, Mate Juan Carlos, and Fico from the Adventurer.
