Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Captain David is back in action with an excellent performance on the 20th. Joined by angler Kevin Jackson.
This MASSIVE Cubera Snapper was the highlight of a day where the rods stayed bent. They also added two nice Dorados and over a dozen football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by the powerful Adventurer.
After a much-needed repaint and refit, the mighty flagship Wanderer was back in action on September 15th.
Captain William picked up right where he left off, boasting a nice Sailfish release backed up with a tasty Dorado for the dinner table.
It’s great to be back on the water!
Alicia Blackledge and her posse got our off-season underway with a wildly productive day onboard the Explorer.
In addition to this sweet Dorado, they moved inshore and nabbed an excellent Rooster Fish release:
At the end of the trip they added to the filet bag with this respectable Yellowfin Tuna:
Captain Carlos finished off his season with a banner day with John Ritchie.
How does TWO Marlin releases sound for a send-off?
Nice work by Captain Alex (of the Harvester) filling in at the Mate position to capture and release these monsters.
They also scored a pair of big Dorados for the end-of-season feast.
The Wanderer finished the season with a magnificent trip with Christine Clarke and her family on August 22.
The father/son and mother/daughter combos went head-to-head with two nice Dorados.
A third nice fish rounded out the filet haul.
Family fun aside, Captain William and the mighty Wanderer earned the title of the FishingNosara flagship by scoring big Marlin releases.
This beastie put on a show for the Clarke family, and Mate Johnson was ready to bill and release the final Marlin of the season.
After a year that saw 234 trips, the big blue beauty is back on the trailer and ready for a month-long repaint and refit.
Captain William will be back on the scene in mid-September to continue his reign as the best Captain in all of Central America.
The Wanderer scored a floor-sweeper Dorado with client Randy Sullivan of Houston.
This whale of a Mahi is darn near the size of Texas and is a monument to Captain William’s prowess.
They also scored Sailfish for the trophy case earlier in the day:
On August 16 the Explorer welcomed Dylan Bagwell and company for a good day on the water which featured this healthy Dorado on ice:
Travis Alderson joined Captain Carlos on the Discoverer for an excellent half-day of action on August 16. Check out this nice early-morning Sailfish:
Later on they nabbed this nice sized Dorado for the dinner table.
Kelly Hondros scored big with Captain Fico on August 15, posting this excellent Sailfish release backed up by a tasty Dorado.
August 3rd was a banner day for angler Peter Petrassi and his group. They scored Sailfish early and often.
These fish were fired-up and put our tackle to the test…this rod wasn’t up to snuff:
Mate Kevin was busy all day keeping these billfish under control and safely released.
Everyone got multiple shots at these wonderful pelagic behemoths.
To top it off they scored a double Dorado hook-up and brought home lots of nice filets for dinner.
