Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Our good friends Patrick and Mike McGoey drove down from Samara for a day trip with Captain Alex, and their adventurous spirit was rewarded with nine nice Dorados and four beefy Yellowfin Tunas.
The Dorados were stacked up like firewood and their hunger led to several multiple hook-ups.
John Hickson returned to the battleship the next day and upped the ante with more great meat fish.
A big Dorado is a nice follow-up to the previous day’s catch, plus a nice Yellowfin Tuna (rare for this time of year) adds variety.
The final catch of the day was also the highlight; This small Blue Marlin release was a great send off to a fun day of fishing.
The Discoverer took John Hickson for a fishing mission on December 1st and snagged a nice selection of big Dorados.
These monsters will make a menu fit for a king for this group. Great work by the big battleship!
Our great friend and FishingNosara Hall of Famer Dan Johnson returned to the Wanderer on December 1.
The straw hat-wearing fishing legend had a fun day on December 1 with lots of Dorados on deck. He also brought his friends along to enjoy in the action.
The consistent Dorado action continued for the Explorer at the end of November.
It’s great to see that the well-established patterns are continuing for our fishery, and their is no shortage or late-season Mahi on the menu
The Wanderer broke in her new motors with Nosara Paradise Rentals grounds crew members Grevan Hernandez and Dieter for a quick trip to the fish market.
Great work by our mechanic Oldemar on the new motor installation.
Later that week the flagship welcomed angler Dan Bofinger for a full day of action on the 27th.
After a few nice Dorado scores to start the day, they finished up with a nice run of Sailfish releases.
Great work by Captain William and the mighty Wanderer!
The Explorer finished off the month with angler Brian Messerich reporting a BIG Yellowfin Tuna backed up by a nice Dorado.
All of this on just a 5 hour trip…imagine the back-breaking load of filets they would score on a full day!
Stephen Warren and his son had a memorable trip with Captain Fico on November 25. Early in the day they went offshore and scored this awesome Dorado:
Things slowed down offshore, so the Explorer headed inshore and jigged up a beautiful Cubera Snapper.
Great work in waters near and far by the bad barroom brawler!
The Harvester lived up to her name on November 23 with a bunch of Dorados finding their way to the fishboxes.
Everyone got in on the action with catches reported by Captain Alex throughout the day.
The Mahi were so aggressive that this double-hookup turned out to be a singular gluttonous fish.
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
Clint Frank and his son took to the Explorer on the 21st and Captain Fico delivered the goods with a big Dorado offshore.
Then they headed inshore and snagged a nice Cubera Snapper.
Not too shabby for just a half day.
