Dorado | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

September 3, 2015

The Explorer finished of the month with a hot streak of great catches. This Marlin scored by Tyler Hawes is clearly the leader of the pack:

Then the barroom brawler started racking up Sailfish releases by the bunches.

It’s wasn’t just trophy releases being scored by the Super panga; Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin also filled up the icebox with Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna:

Also, local diver Gustavo Villalobos Jiménez took a quick ride out of the bay and dove down for a pair of tasty Langostas (lobsters):

Fantastic action from the baddest 26-foot boat in the country!

Buz Underill and his family started their week of fishing with a blast of blue water action.

First up was this 30lbs. Dorado gobbled up by their youngest angler.

Then is was Pop’s turn to duel a Dorado, and he scored the fish of the day with this 60+lbs. Mahi:

It’s always a treat to see a youngster holding a fish that most likely outweighs him.

The grown-ups took over in the afternoon with a nice Sailfish release.

Excellent hunting by Captain William backed up by superb fish-handling by the incomparable First Mate Alex.
