Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara
Costa Rica Fishing Report Archive | FishingNosara
Our main man Kestrel Dickerson was back on the water on November 20 looking to follow up his great inshore action from last year with equal success offshore.
The Wanderer is fit for all forms of fish fighting, and Kestrel added to his legacy with this great Sailfish release.
The rest of the day was punctuated with excellent Dorado action for the whole family:
Excellent work as usual from the mighty flagship!
Great action on the Discoverer as Captain David reports that the near-shore waters are chocked-full of big Dorados and hungry Sailfish.
What a great view from Captain David’s office:
All the Sails were safely released and the Dorado filets were bagged up for these satisfied clients.
Captain Fico has the 23-foot Adventurer dialed in and he is doing damage on the inshore meat fish. He had three great trips this week, with this 60+lbs. Cubera Snapper at the top of the hit list:
A few days later he pried up this nice Yellowtail Snapper from the reefs at Pincha Padre. Not as big as the Cubera but twice as tasty on the plate.
Recently some meaty Dorado have swung inside of the blue water break and the sneaky Adventurer was there to welcome them to the buffet:
Who says you need a big boat to catch big fish down here? Don’t tell that to Captain Fico on the Adventurer!
John Shellhorn returned to the Wanderer for his third and final trip of the week, and the action was blisteringly hot for this Jacksonville Beach angler.
Captain William led the way to Sailfish City and the flagship scored big with four billfish released.
The highlight of the day was a Double Sailfish hookup!
Outstanding fish handling by First Mate Alex to ensure the safe release of both of these magnificent monsters.
For good measure they also scored this beefy Dorado to round out an excellent day of fishing.
John Shellhorn and his group kept the pedel to the metal with Captain William on board the mighty Wanderer with another excellent Sailfish release backed-up by several tasty Dorados.
This was a nice Sailfish release, but the day’s highlight was this MASSIVE Dorado:
Great work by the flagship Wanderer to deliver the goods for these super clients.
The Wanderer is back in action and itching to ruin her new paint job with some fresh fish blood.
Client John Shellhorn did the deed with a dozen Dorados on ice!
Who say’s chickens can’t fly?
That newly painted floor looks good with this particular arrangement:
The next day they headed further off-shore and Captain William put them neck-deep in a billfish battle:
A safe release by First Mate Alex was icing on the cake for this blue water adventure.
Captain Carlos has continued to shine on the super panga Explorer this month.
On November 11 he led a trip to the inshore fish market for his clients and they filled the shopping cart with Dorado, Wahoo, and Queen Snappers:
Amazing all around catches for the Explorer left these clients with a wide variety of filets for the frigerator.
Captain David has gotten off to a fast start this season on the battleship Discoverer.
On November 9 he welcomed some clients from the nearby Tierra Magnifica for a trip to the Dorado-chocked waters 5 miles from shore.
This is just a sampling of the excellent Dorado catches for these clients, who ended up with 12 magnificent Mahi-Mahi on ice.
Great work by the Discoverer!
Troy and Christine Jones took to the Explorer for a fruitful harvest of sea life on November 4, scoring a nice Dorado backed-up by some tasty Snappers.
Excellent work by Captain Carlos and the baddest super panga on the planet!
The Discoverer kept the good times rollin’ with client Mike Arzewski. The big battleship reports several nice Dorados backed up by a few Jack Crevalles.
All good on the water for this experienced angler!
