Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Ryan and MacKenzie Harrington joined us earlier this year during their honeymoon trip, and returned for a fun fishing outing on December 31.
Last time Ryan scored a big Marlin, and on this trip the highlight was undoubtedly this his-and-hers Double Sailfish release.
They also mopped up some nice 25-35lbs. Dorados, plus MacKenzie scored a late-day Sailfish to sweeten the pot.
Great work by Captain David and Mate Juan Carlos for this Tampa-based charter captain.
Ray Anderson and his boys had a fantastic trip on the Discoverer. Here’s what Ray sent to us via email:
Craig – Great trip on the Discoverer yesterday.ย ย
My two sons and I caught 3 sailfish (one was 100 lbs), and 5 large dorado.ย ย
Captain David and Juan Carlos were the best.
Could not have asked for a better time.ย ย We will be back.ย

The battleship Discoverer deliver the fish-of-a-lifetime for Al Santiesteban and his family on their final fishing day:
This monster Blue Marlin is an angling accomplishment that many travel the world’s oceans in pursuit of, and the excitement generate by this catch can’t be overstated.
As has become their habit, this fishing family added a few more Sailfish to their scorecard later in the trip, rounding out an excellent week of fishing action.
Al has already booked a return trip in late-March and we expect another fantastic performance upon his return.
The Discoverer has been on a billfish-battling mission this month and on November 28 welcomed Al Santiesteban’s family along with Craig Sutton and Danny ‘Shake n Bake’ Baker for a great trip offshore.
They conquered five Pacific Sailfish, then turned their attention inshore where they bested a nice Dorado and a beefy Amberjack:
Great work all around from the crew of the battleship Discoverer!
The Discoverer welcomed Al Santiesteban’s family for their third trip of the week and performed beautifully with multiple Sailfish releases.
These Tampa Bay anglers have a knack for great catches, but believe me you won’t see monsters like this lurking under the Howard Franklin Bridge!
Later in the trip young Bryce added this respectable Dorado, ensuring that this great fishing family has a few filets for the refrigerator.
Great action on the Discoverer as Captain David reports that the near-shore waters are chocked-full of big Dorados and hungry Sailfish.
What a great view from Captain David’s office:
All the Sails were safely released and the Dorado filets were bagged up for these satisfied clients.
Captain David has gotten off to a fast start this season on the battleship Discoverer.
On November 9 he welcomed some clients from the nearby Tierra Magnifica for a trip to the Dorado-chocked waters 5 miles from shore.
This is just a sampling of the excellent Dorado catches for these clients, who ended up with 12 magnificent Mahi-Mahi on ice.
Great work by the Discoverer!
The Discoverer kept the good times rollin’ with client Mike Arzewski. The big battleship reports several nice Dorados backed up by a few Jack Crevalles.
All good on the water for this experienced angler!
The Discoverer is back in action after an extended off-season of maintenance and repair. Captain David is stoked to be back on the water, while the fish population is not nearly as enthusiastic to see the battleship prowling the surface.
Client Nick Townsend snared the first fish of the season…check out this sweet Wahoo:
A great start to what we know will be a great season!
Captain David has made life miserable for the local Sailfish populations this week, much to his clients’ delight. Check out this array of bad Sails:
Nice fish-handling by Mate Kevin means that these released monsters will be back for more action really soon.
The Discoverer also scored this nice Dorado; almost as green as the inshore water in the backround.
