Discoverer | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

September 6, 2015

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.

Captain David is dialed-in on the Discoverer and his clients reaped the rewards this month.

Sailfish releases have been plentiful, headlined by this 200lbs.+ monster:

The big battleship backed that up with several more great releases:

Meat fish have been on the menu for Captain David’s clients, with Yellowfin Tuna ranging from 20lbs. to well over 50lbs.

Most recently Craig scored a sweet Rooster Fish release:

Mike Gilbert’s posse kept the pedal to the metal on the Discoverer as Captain David put them on a swarm of Sailfish on July 31.

Great releases by anglers of all ages on the battleship!

Our new friend Thomas Caracciolo came down for some fun offshore action and saw nice action on the Discoverer.

After an early Sailfish release, they set themselves up for some nice dinners with Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado filets on ice:

Teresa Schilhab’s boys scored a lovely pair of Rooster Fish releases on board the battleship Discoverer:

Nice work by Captain David to ensure the safe release of both of these beauties.

July 14, 2015

The big Battleship welcomed some little anglers for some fun inshore action on July 14.

Captain David (a father of two himself) is an excellent teacher of the craft and the Discoverer is a great place for youngsters to catch the fishing bug.

Nice work on these critters, especially considering it’s been years since we saw the elusive Congrio (the eel/fish hybrid held by the kid in the red shirt). That is one tasty filet right there!
