Dorado | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

July 22, 2018

For those still clinging to the old notion that the fishing in Costa Rica is not white-hot in July, please check out this July 22 trip from the Harvester with angler Carlyle Smith.

This monster Marlin was just the tip of the iceberg.

A big time Sailfish wasn’t far behind, and the mega panga was there to pull her in.

Another great Sailfish also found its way to the Harvester.

Normally a big day full of billfish releases would be all that you need, but why not add some big Dorado filets for the fishbox?

Oh and in case you are wondering, all of these catch came on just a 6.5 hour trip…imaging if they had gone for a full eight hours!

Juan Levesque and the Wanderer loaded up on filets with a bunch of Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas on ice during their trip on July 22.

The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for angler Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:

The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:

Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.

Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.

Brady Ballard brought his posse from Austin, TX for a packed week of action on the blue water with Captain William running the gamut of fish on July 17.

This early-morning Sailfish release was quickly followed up by a variety of tasty table fare.

First a big Dorado, then a pack of Yellowfin Tunas…looks like dinner is served!

A big monster came late in the day. This monster Blue Marlin is a true warrior and it took the best boat in Central America to capture and release her.
